Well, it does look really cool. I saw the problem areas, hope you get everything worked out. Would love to see this thing running

I got it back together and working. Now I'm jist waiting on this Washington weather to clear up to go test it out again.

I took the gasket out of the diff to create a small amount of space and was able to shim the diff a little for better alignment. I took it out yesterday for a good lil rip and it did well. I hit some little jumps and ran it through dirt and gravel. Its actually a fun little truck to drive. The way it bounces around is comical. If you hit a little jump/bump just right sometimes it somehow does a 180 and lands backwards

A few good laughs sounds like it was worth the effort. Glad you got to enjoy it finally!

This truck was a pain to build up, but I've changed my tune. It is pretty fun to watch it bounce around. I had a friend over and I let his kid play with it. He beat the snot out of it for 30 minutes straight. Nothing broke. I watched it jump, flip, smash into trees. Tough truck once built.
