Just checkin out you wheels. What are they and what road tires do you have mounted?

 

[Heyns Racing1]

they are GRP 5B tires. They came preglued on wheels. I found them on sale on line. I thought the tread looked a bit more agressive in the picture and bought 2 sets. They seem to be more of a street tire. I am going to try them out on the track this weekend.

Are you ready now? I'm going to bring the XT with the Flowsystem pipe.

Ready. I have to get the buggy to the Flowsystem shop for a pipe.

Thanks.

I had two tanks though my xb at Fear Farm. Then I had a little crash that bound up my steering and burned out my servo.

Ouch! Looks like everything else held up.

 

[Deluge1]

Doesn't look that bad.

 

[Heyns Racing1]

here is an update to my XB project.

I noticed a lot of grub screws starting backing out on the drive line areas. so I completely tore it down and started adding red threadlocker to all drive line parts. The green wicking loc-tite didn't hold up to the track.



I'm also trying to put the mt arms on there but having a fitment concern at the hinge pin at the diff area. I seem to have some front to back movement in the arm where it mounts on the hinge pin at the diff.

I have a new motor being built for me now as well. I cant find a tuned pipe that i like so I am going with a G290 that will be ported to run off of the 5T can better.

I am still trying to find out the best way to stiffen it up. once I get it going again I will look back into it.
