The esp ring is probably just getting seated so more power to come

Had a look at the bug today lost some conical spacers/washers had some stock brass and I quickly made a new set and I split the between the two front hubs looks like they will do the job just fine
Tough little car this is

Doing some work on the bug install
The obr inlet and redo the outerwears velcro

Just found one leaking front shock
last time was the rear.......used all the oil so its gonna have to wait for a rebuild

 

[DougStar]

Got lucky with the front shock the cap was lose so I topped up the oil and refitted it
K now its ready to rumble

 

[DougStar]

When I was doing some maintenance on the bug i found that the upper link screw in the rear hubs was stripping the threads took the hubs off to see it there was a capture nut in the hub nope just straight into plastic
So iv ordered a set of alloy rear hubs

 

[DougStar]

Quickly slapped the alloy rear hubs on and iv decided that i should give the original fg wheels a go. Since iv never run them

 

[DougStar]

right so I second guessed myself .......( note to self......don't do that) so the fg wheels are CUNTING DOG SHITE !!!! .
Took the bug out it lasted 5 mins. And the back left wheel was just spinning the rim melted and ate the nut took an hour just to get it off
The nut is still stuck in the rim

Ubers went back on

Same happened to me with my Marder rims over the summer. That and I found out the tires weren't glued nor foams underneath . The treads are great tho, they are the same tires I used on my speed run video.
