Re: Hunting 12HT on startup

Mine does the same thing, I've heard it's quite a common thing with them, but I know they don't all do it. Someone once said to me it's something to do with some kind of a governor/diaphragm control that has worn. Nothing to be concerned about but I would love to have it fixed

Alternatively if your car has ANY oil leaks at all then muds gonna get in pretty easy. At the very least dirty, gritty water, which is even worse. I've seen king pin bearings rusted to their shells, your cv's won't be happy, pinion bearings it can get into your engine drivetrain etc. If its sat ...

Absolutely yes! Best thing I ever did to the front of mine was put a wrap bar in. Ask Wicked about the difference it made to his. Stopping the little bit of wrap stopped his thing from pulling wheel stands as easily and just generally put drive down much better

Re: Profender Coil overs???

Ah, it's good to be back on outer limits, nothing's changed.
In my limited experience the shocks are good but the coils are not. By the time you buy quality springs, perhaps the price isn't that far off a fox coil over with springs on it already.
Worth looking into anyway

I can't help but feel there has been plenty of buggy comps in the past come and go. Perhaps there's something in the TT rules that has made it more interesting for the spectators, hence why it's grown?
Buggies with skins sounds pretty much like Mod class in WE rock. Just not sure if it's the way to go

Evan you make a good point as well. I also get people wanting their light bar to shine 5k down the road like a pencil beam spot light does. Which in my opinion is not where the danger/ important stuff is. And a pencil beam is almost never pointed where you want to see. I can comfortably see up to ...

Re: Iron Man light bars

I doubt that it will be possible to get a decent LED spot light - the nature of the LED reflector is such that it would be hard to focus it to give a spot beam
This is totally untrue, and is exactly what people think after purchasing a cheap LED light bar, and what we are up against every day ...

The majority of the cheaper light bars out there do lack distance, this is absolutely true. People buy them and are disapointed, and as a result, think that light bars are shit for long distance. It's made even harder to pick the difference between good ones and bad ones, as the stats on a cheap one ...

The design requirements are pretty clear on the CCDA website. You can print all the material and design parameters on a big A3 sheet of paper, stick to your wall for quick reference as you build. So design will be easily policed by TTC.
It does matter what material is used, just as it matters how it ...

The structure layout & size limitations are based around a standard that has been found to be the most efficient & effective in rollover protection. If you are in a multi ...
