Re: Tough Tracks 4x4 Challenge Series-Round 2

MOST IMPORTANTLY - Get your nominations in early. First you save money on our entry costs. Second - if you do not pre nominate, you WILL NOT get discount park fees. We need to provide a list of competitors to the park, if you have not nominated, we cannot put your name on the list. Simple as that ...

If you are going to go over 35s you need to look at what it takes to make a rover diff/axils stronger. From memmory it cost about $700 for the rear and $2000 for the front but after that they are good for up to 40s. To add to that you are about half the weight of a rover so you may be able to run ...
