I'm giving you about a month once you get it going ,then destruction of some sort .:eek:

So after looking at the buggy last night for a little bit I said screw it today and re-did all the brake lines . I didn't like all the coiled hose everywhere. So tada. Think I'll probably wrap the brake line near the pipe with a little aluminum tape just to be safe . It's about an 1/8 of an inch . Should be enough but I would rather be safe.

? Yeah, the destruction will be my transmission. Nice one on the brake lines, looks cleaner now without brake lines floating everywere.

Are you gonna try DDM black magic gears? What's the plan?

Still even then there will be some shite
Just cant see the gear was made for a 70cc ?

Blackbone tranny gears handle pretty much everything, peeps run em on rcmax 90cc and such so that won't be a issue. The original HPI made (not sure on the clone ones but I'm risk it) diff gears handle all that power fine as well (somehow), tho the big mofos like 90s and 85s blow them but I'm not gonna be running that much power for it to be a issue.
 
So I finally got the Front disk brakes bled and working. Interesting experience. The key to getting them working right is bleeding the master cylinder. The whole brake system is so small it does make it hard to bleed the system. I still have a little air in the right front brake line so I will probably bleed the brakes one more time. It only takes a about 10 minutes. Most of the time is set up and clean up. Suppose to be a nice weekend this coming weekend so I think it will be play time for the buggy and maybe the boat too.(y)(y)(y)
