I did it last year during Fall Crawl with "Whatever"...

The colors are at least 1/2 step up from RC. Blues are a challenge, Blacks are for real, Reds are insane.

Finally some down time to diagnose front axle leaks.

Trail Gear seals


Neither should be leaking although the long side (one on the right) has one torn lip. My hypothesis is that the o-ring side was not a tight enough fit and was allowing fluid past. Info sent to ECGS to see what they want to do.

I'm willing to try another set of these and RTV them into the tubes.

I'm getting pretty proficient on 609s. ::)  I built a jack saddle for 3rd member lifting too! Work smarter, not harder! 8)

No leakage overnight. A few more test laps today and parked for some more finish work and maintenance items. Still leak-free!
