2nd run

[CyberVet65]

I have 10 acres out back of the house. Full of prarie dog mounds. Perfect ramps, just avoid the holes on the other side.


I ran the tank and adjusted the high speed to get rid of the "stutter". I think I got it pretty good.


Only flipped it once. Running no body and I broke the body bracket in the back. No big deal. Got lots of them.


I finally figured out why the bead lockers are not holding the tires. Ever seen a dragster burn out? Notice the tires "grow"? I read that and didn't believe it. Now I do. Solution?


Duct tape the foams. Still get the foam rigidity but the tires stay in place. I also read where some folk who play in water, run a bead of silicon around the edge prior to installing the beadlock rim.


Anyway, great truck. Having tons of fun. I was looking at the truck and it quit running. Oh-Oh. Pulled the starter a number of times and then looked at the tank.....empty!! Time flies when you are having fun.

That's what I'm talking about, I just have to get past tuning issues.

I got the belt drive installed as well. Big difference! Really like the way it is running now.
