If they broke, no reason they won't replace them for you.

Well I contacted them and they said to send them a pic of the broken diff, and they would only replace it not both, I thought you could not mix and match them? Shouldnt they replace both?

Some better outside and action pics. I"ll have a big video up later tonight of our recent bash session. New bulletproof diffs rock and even sound "beefier"

too bad he sold it and got a baja


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

wow i am so shocked... They allow stock trucks in mags? Is this the entire list of mods you have carried out? hmmm

Modifications:
Proline Badlands tires w/fiber taping
Proline Velocity 1/2'' offset dish rims
Protoform Harddrive body
Team TCS Blue Aluminum TVP frame
HPI HD Steel drive gear
Bad Horsie blue shock covers
Modified battery trays w/safety straps
Zip tied bulkhead pin modification
Black RPM arms

Also i am a little confused???? i dont like ripping on people, but why on every other forum is everyone dissing you for you not even owning this truck? i would like to hear your story...

Look he got in the magazine because he sent in a nice looking pic not because he upgraded it... I've seen completly stock cars printed from 12 year olds that are just plain proud of their car... Nothing wrong with that...

Regardless of the mods the truck is clean and the pics are very nice, good angles, lighting, crisp detail, etc. That is what the mags are looking for, good pics and clean vehicles. You could have a titanium motor mount and some maxamps lipos and if the whole deal is covered in mud and the picture was take with a 1 megapixel camera with a dirty lens at night it would not make the mag...

"90% of life is just showing up." Did anyone send in a better truck and pix that month?

There have been more inspiring and cutting edge build-ups before, but his was well done, well photographed and actually submitted. In the end, that's what matters.

Don't pretend that you have standards Harold. We all know all that matters for you, in the end, is if they have $5 or a 40oz of Magnum.

Whatever, all Harold cares about is that he can find a "buddy" that fits "snuggly" in a Magnum rubber... His motto is go big or go down...

Not sure how Hippie works... Probably his wardrobe choice (as seen in bondoscrot's photobucket album) turns Harold crank, so to speak....
