?? Yep

 

[Mick Boomer]

Is it just me or is the vertigo tank mounts pointless? Appears that part of the mounting tabs need to be trimmed down

 

[Mick Boomer]

Almost there. Finally got some spare time to build! Almost there....

Finished installing the motor and pipe today. Bout to Feed her some c12 klotz. Other than tuning my build is finished. My goal was to keep it stockish and I believe I achieved that.
Now just waiting on the cvd rear shaft to be in stock.....

Looks killer man

That looks great, I think if that rear axle was black it would really be slick

 

[Mick Boomer]

Yes I agree but my stock
Black plastic rear cover is warped

Get the turtle racing pro street cover, would be a nice match https://www.davesmotors.com/?search...+Rear+Solid+Axle+Pro+Street+Billet+Diff+Cover

Yep that comes standard. A wrapped rear diff cover. Just keep your eyes open for a deal on whatever billet diff cover you want. I wouldn't pay full price for one.

Been awhile guys. Been to busy to do anything last several months. Anyway got an issue. My first run only about 5 min. My brake rotor is chewed up and seems like it binds every half revolution. Is this normal does it just need to break in. If I hold the rotor strait it dosent bind. Linkage is adjusted perfectly and it rolls smoothly. I honestly thought it was something in the transmission until I finally found it was the brakes binding when loose. Thoughts?

Your still running the stock trans yet? Of so you need to add a disk alignment thing like the vertigo trans has to keep the disk centered.

The issue is with the disc the way it sits on the drive shaft it gets angled in between the pads and grabs like sean said you need to keep it aligned like the vertigo trans

 

[Mick Boomer]

Im running the stock trans. Theres nothing I see that helps keep the disc sintered. Am I missing something?

the 5ive b does the same thing, idk if they sell just the holder thing you can attach

This is it on the vertigo can't remember if my stock Tran came with something like this

What does a 5b have to do with a vekta?

It’s a shared issue
