thanks for the tips. i am gonna have it done at a shop cuz my torch wont even get the gear red. or even discolor it at all. needs to be much hotter than propane flame.


anyway,
i have been busy modding my car but my camera is having issues so i cant take pics. as soon as i get it fixed or get new one i will post lots of pics.

put on baja 5b shocks on the rear so far. the difference is night and day. waaay better than the rampage shocks and have 6mm shaft so no bends or breaks will happen.

installed aluminum spindle carriers.

heat tempered diff outdrives. (something i learned from the rampage forum to increase their strength)

modded front bumper to look more like a truggy bumper

a few other minor things. today i have a ton of parts arriving. i think my 4 wheel disc brakes get here today. i hope so.

my speed control gets here mid next week and motor mount and spur gear should be ready about then also.

i am really trying to build this thing to drive as much like a 1/8 truggy as possible. i dont want a huge sluggish monster truck. i am installing sway bars and also droop limiters. both of these will have to be custom made but will help the handling a ton i think. without the droop limiting this thing sits so high and will handle poorly. i want to get it so it sits pretty low to the ground for improved handling.
