I'd love to se a picture of your truck throwing a big fat roost.. If you think your doing a lot of work now just go drive it on the street for a while. Every crash breaks at least 1 item. Trial and error to find the next weakest link.One part at a time.


So many toys and so little time

I have done the street and curbs have been very damaging. Across the street from my house there is a big flat resivor top 100Yds By 100yds. Great for speed runs, no curbs, there is however just six air vent sticking out. Guess what? I hit one It does make a big roost in sand and climbs suprisingly very well. Right now My Spyder 8 are all apart. Rear was binding & believe it or not I tweeked the output drive cups both sides. They barley came out of the ring gear and the cnc casing opposite. I did have spares and they go in fine. So somehow I bent the drive cups. Those thing are pretty strong too. I am pretty sure that is why my Quark was thermal shutting last beach run, But still it climbed & roosted real good. SO more wrenching.

If you want to see pictures I guess I better get a digitol camera. HUH

I have spent much more time fixing than driving. Most of it was my own fault. I started buying UE stuff and currently have my throttle at 30%. I still have some temp issues, but at least I haven't broken or smoked anything on my last two runs. BTW - That is a record for me, 2 runs no damage.

Cheers
