Best of luck.
Your going to have a few rigs ahead of you in this one ..... only at the start and not for long is my bet

Well we were having a really good day until I missed one corner. The car went for another 50 miles before the front lower link mount failed on the chassis. It must have taken a hard hit. With the shocks mounted on the link there was no way we could make a bush fix work to get the next 40 miles to the pit.

Here's some video. Come ride along in a rock crawler at 177 km/h:

Thats a cool video Napsta, thanks for posting.

I'm new to Go Pros. Any tips would be great. I think i need to get a shorter mount so it can't bounce around so much. I had an 8gb card and I got about 1.5 hours of footage. I need to hunt down something larger and maybe wire up a 12v suppky.

You probably did fit it, but i recently purchased one and didnt realise the small rubber bit is meant to be attached so it doesnt shake and rattle as much.... Im guessing you probably did put that on and im the only one ever to not use it... haha

[napsta]

I put a hose clamp around the whole thing, as I didn't trust the adhesive. Didn't bother with the rubber thing

Is there different classes in that race??(the race in the vid)
Because you seem to come up behind alot of other cars very quickly, before overtaking.
Its very quick in alot of spots.
Sounds great too.

All the guys in the video are other Ultra 4 class cars. There was a lot of other classes but none in the video.
