Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have researched the options so i guess im just interested in what people have done and their experiences with it. I have limited space to work with. Its about 120mm x 120mm. The base plate can be bigger, thats no problem. Im leaning towards a pillow block turned upside down (for strength purposes ...

Ive seen those. Did you use the cast housing type or the stainless?

Hi guys

What are people using for driveshaft centre bearings? I need something strong and preferably easy to obtain in Australia.

It also needs to be compact as im limited for space.

The buggy has 42's and a big v8. It will be used in high speed and crawling.

Anyone have photos or info?


Thanks

^^^^^^ I do like this Mark. brooksy Thanks Brooksy, means allot coming from some one as respected as you, I would build another truck to compete at a drop of a dim if the rules changed i could compete in more then 1 comp or store it up in Queensland and have to travel up there for every comp. You ...

Tuff TRUCK not Tuffest in CLASS. A lot arnt trucks. They are skinned buggys Doesn't matter, as long as they meet the rules. That's what's good about it, guys there that push the rules to the limit and others with full body full chassis. Don't need another class it works now. One class is fine but ...

It's good to get different point of views.


Good to see the chassis rule go and run with strict body rules in a 2nd class

I'd vote in favour of this.

Thank you Pricey et al for all your hard work sorting this out. The main objective should be to ensure the highest level of safety for those competing into the future, even if that means some unhappy campers in the short term. Having said that, I hope when the specs are finalised ours is okey dokey ...

Does that mean after presentation if there's a draw someone will have to drive track 4 again? We will know the top ten teams that will b in the hunt for a podium finsh before the presention. A team tie hasn't happen yet. If a track has to b run again the two teams will b notified that they have ...

Driveshafts, cv's and axles, wheel studs, hub assemby, silver seal, all oils and a if you have airlockers some spare airline, fittings and solenoid.

I best hurry up and finish fixing the car.

Looking forward to a night drive on Friday

So you will be busted on the trailer before i get there Saturday morning?

I was with team Blitz. He blew a big end bearing in the mud on friday. We started stripping the motor out while his missus went into town and got a $150 junkyard motor. We had it in and running by midday. They had a heap of other unlucky issues as well over the weekend but just kept fixing it in any ...

Top 5
1. Barzook
2. OPW
3. Rockracing
4. Army Barbie
5. Rockrash

Sorry yes your right.

Ben Napier just got fastest qualifying time.

Awesome 2 wheel action at the start!

Wow. Hope someone identifies him. That's a low act

Look on youtube of Barzook driving track 1. I think he fell asleep half way up he track and the zook drove the rest by itself. Toperi would be piss easy in a buggy and in reality probably pretty boring. There would be little to no challenges. The buggys are a minority anyway. The majority of comp ...

ACT 4wd club will be there. Always awesome tracks at Rockpecker

Had a great time. Tracks were alot tougher. Its a shame that you guys had to drop the old points system but you did a good job introducing a new system. I think rear steer needs a 2 stop penalty. Portals need a stop penalty No free winch on track 4. See you next year!! Rear steer 1 stop, no penaly ...

pricey wrote:So a car running 37's has no penalty advantage over a car with 40's? Is that right?

The way I read it the 40's just get one less stop.

& you will only be allowed to tow / winch over one obstacle at a time ... then you unhook to proceed Last year on event 4 most people had to winch the whole length of the first hill over multiple obstacles. If you apply the above ruling thats probably going to use allowable every stop. Just drive ...

If any of the winning teams or individuals have vouchers that need to be used in Canberra can you contact me. I have $1200 worth of vouchers for Sydney workshops and suppliers I would be willing to swap. Only reason being that I would like to use the vouchers for labour and in Canberra is going to ...

I was wondering if the wear was a result of the tyre being too hard ad you spinning them up on a higher pressure.

Are you going to Toperi? Im keen to check out these tyres.

Interesting looking tyre. Is the tyre pressure your running what is recommended or do you think you would go lower? My treps are showing similar wear to your tyres but are 3 or so comps old and a few full days of social driving. Yours must be super soft. Do you crawl your rig or do you put the boot ...

No number for him. Should be able to search on here for him.

Those swampers have been on so many rigs now. They were on a patrol before me and then before that Jamie Ways buggy.

Killalux I think on here or killa kustom kables

Pretty sure it's more like $400 though

$250 vs $10 I'm guessing

Thats all good. Ive had a good roll over at Toperi as you may remember. Im all for having a decent roll cage.

I mainly just wanted to know if you would accept exo's as i couldn't find them in the CCDA requirements. I didn't want to go down the path of having an exo and an internal cage.

Thanks
