Shit yeah I remember you guys I really appreciated the lift to get our case of crownies but you should have joined the party while we down our pizza and the crownies. You boys are dedicated spectators and its great to hear there are such passonate supporters of the sport out there
hopefully one day soon (maybe a year from now) our spectating days could be over and we will be driving along side with you boys, unless you decide to sell me the abt buggy for another case of crownies ...
The more competitors we have the better and I'm sure we can arrange to build another buggy for ya ... but I not sure that the accountant will let us do it for a case of crowies Maybe a case of Beam instead
Man you guys got some awesome pics you should ask Michael Ellem if you can help him out at events

Peter.
PS I tried the ABT website, but both their phone numbers went to a fax.
G'day droopypete
Not sure whats happening with the phone but I am available anytime on 02 62915994 or 0404 218 137. If ya cant get me that way drop me a email I'm happy to help out.
any chance of the same photos with a 20 cent coin or something next to the parts for scale. the shaft looks suprisingly small?? is that the upgraded front output or the standard one?
G'day Carlton
It is the 26spline output which small and is not really recommended by Adavance Adaptors for competition use. Nonetheless, AA said a few have failed and they have mainly been units used in competition, the best thing is that they are happy to help Shane out with a new 32spline unit like the one most US competitors run and the one we have in our buggy.
Cheers Sean

i was just thinking that you should use some of these pics in your portfolio too deano, i can't believe how good they turned out you always wanted to be a pro photographer.
as for the buggie... well 45 and i are serious. we may take 6 or so months to get funds together, but we are serious. looking for something basic (i.e. nam's buggy or the homeless, or if it wasn't too much extra, something like ruffs budgie) for the legends class, running rover running gear and toyota cruiser axles. coiled most likely (fox shocks too bling for our budget).
so we might give you a yell and see what price we're looking at.
Damn... from that score sheet, we could have driven the FireTruck in 2wd through the first gate on each of the 3 stages on Sunday and come 3rd!!! WOuld have given us 40 points per course instead of 50, which would have put us in 3rd by about 20 points!
We were considering doing this... but thought we would be too far behind anyway... doh.
And yes, my Atlas had the 26 spline front shaft, not the upgraded 32 spline front output... it wasn't available back when I got my Atlas.
A 32 spline one will be going in now though, thanks to Sean at ABT and Advance Adapters!

Shane is that all that went bang in the Atlas and is it just a case of pull it apart and slot the new shaft in ?
