flogged the shit out of this car several times this weekend, it refuses to fail.  i am pleased.



couple small known issues that occurred


popped rad hose that was exposed, new aluminum straight neck in hand
bent rear mid shaft ( pillow block needs to move further back and shaft material upgraded
broke limit strap eye day 1 obstical 1, possible mounting issue
PSC ram loose internally
left header flange contacts plug boots cracked a plug, coil is grounding out somtimes- meh
slammed knee on orbital mount in otters trail, need to fix or move or pad better, no good. 
front suck down loop broke off, needs more steel
bent front track bar, needs more wall

several rock bounce attempts inside shoot the moon exit, had to turn Rs in mudd with bounce assaults on right side.  that trail is nuts now.

All 3 cars made it up both talismans today.  i gave up on lower, then gif and jeff made it, so i hit it harder and made it barely with lots of Rs and smoke



front end needs more shock tune too bouncy going slow

I watched the flogging 572 took.  It was impressive.   I have to say, I have never seen a burnout on a tree that was still standing with a wheel that was 5 ft up it before.   We need to start taking more videos.   ;)

i guess "it'l be fine" is no longer good for my wreck wheeling style.  Chassis welds broke in 5 places around rear end....always knew it needed more tube, just didnt think it needed it for a RC wreck wheel trip....

we are not nice to the buggies  8)

define welds broke.   I would think the material next to the welds broke.  your welding looks good.

broken material ground out / re welded.  6 or 7 tubes notched in and tac'd up.  good start about half way to rear end finish.

I feel like we are just driving around looking for something to break the buggies.  In one day of "Wreckage Wheeling" I broke a CV, Front stub and rear axle shaft. Boy, did we have fun though.
