very sweet - but too clean. get that puppy muddy!!

 

[vbgagnon]

Nice rig! Did you get it to turn more?

In your pics you don't have the roll bar in there I would put it back in! I would also look into some bracing, I used a revo pushrod for the rear brace I drilled a hole in the support and tied it with a bolt, then tied it to the diff mount, for the front I did the same, but I kept breaking bolts so I'm looking for an alternative to that.

 

[Plaidfish]

VB that seems to be the common mod on that thing....they do have a lot of chassis flex...
AC if you find tuning to be hard on that set up, save your old header and swap it for the U shaped one you have on there now......I had a JP-1 pipe on a few engines and they all seemd to run like ass....I kept changing the engines thinking that was the issue, someone said it was the header not letting the engine build up back pressure off the line.....I swapped it and wow the engine ran awsome....no tuning issues at all.....I just got another JP-1 pipe and I'm waiting to try it again w/ a P5.....

Geez, AC, go to bed!

Looks nice. At least you already got some good performance tips on this one. Now get that mill broken in.

Thanks guys for all your comments. Ult I have barely enough money now to get some fuel with haha. vb, it kinda seemed like it jsut got in the way so I took it off, do you really think it will be a big help? As soon as I can I want to get the Vertigo Performance front CF brace, but I don't have the cash quite yet, do I really need to do anything to the rear? Looks kinda beefy already back there. Buggyracer, buy Ults LSP and you'll never drive that POS MBX5 again

Oh, and no I haven't done much with the turning yet, and thanks plaid I will change the header to my 086 header.

 

[vbgagnon]

I would use rear bracing more then front bracing. Right now I don't have a brace in the front, but I do have one in the back and there isn't much flex.

haha, you're just jealous :

I would use rear bracing more then front bracing. Right now I don't have a brace in the front, but I do have one in the back and there isn't much flex.

What can a I do to add bracing in the rear? I have seen people use Revo pushrods attatched to the stock brace and to the center diff. What do you suggest?

Yeah right buggyracer...

I got two tanks through the wasp, and then the damn starterbox belt took a poop. This makes me so f***ing mad! Now the only enigne I can run is the friggin HB .26. But thats for sale and I don't want to use it.

 

[vbgagnon]

I'm using a revo push rod and it works great. I'm going to try taking off my front lower brace and put it from my top plate to my diff and see how that works.

 

[AC48]

Hey vb if you could snap a close up of how you did yours that would be great. I want to get rid of the front lower brace and put on the Vertigo one, looks cool and looks like it would help a lot.

 

[vbgagnon]

Here it is! a little dirty, but you should get it!

 

[AC48]

Thanks vb, I may have to try that. Man that thing is dirty, mine would hyave been if the damn starterbox didn't die

 

[cvec7]

...mine would hyave been if the damn starterbox didn't die

No it wouldn't....you don't know how to get dirt on your cars properly... :jk:

 

[AC48]

Once I get a good box or fix mine I will post a pic of it 'properly' covered in dirt.

 

[MAD-MAXX]

it isnt fixed yet. that sucks.

i think I'm gonna save for a lsp

 

[AC48]

Yea, not fixed yet, I gotta get a new one cause if I get the replacement belt I bet ya it'll get destroyed pretty quick.
