Nice, but pretty intense line. Why not come in high and wide? Not enough room for the corner I suppose.

:beerchug:

I tried going really high, I think it would've flipped me into the whole. I tried going as high as I could before that but the angle pitches you back into the hole.
shortly after the last pic I broke the output shaft. Oddly enough when it broke I was no longer bound up at all, just kinda popped.

Yes they are allieds, I like them. The price was right and they work well, this will be my second year on them.

The picture is Patriot, running it backwards. Its located in Penrose, Colorado.


Oh and the alcans in the rear are great, excellent spring. Full bodied they flexed great, nice and stable. Once I cut the back off, not so good. Added 1 ton axles, back to good.

I've had to add a traction bar, built it this weekend to save the rear springs, they're getting an ever-so-slight "s" shape to them, I guess the 1 ton axles are creating LOTS more wrap than the toys could ever do...
