regular old gold pan will work just fine actually. that chassis is in good shape and not super rare but atleast still pretty desirable imo. if you had the cage parts you would have something special. we have a 17.5 latemodel class that is based around 2wd buggies and atleast 60% of the class is gol...

^ where did they come from farmer????? :?: :?: about 10 yrs are so ago maybe longer they were made exclusivly for the Hot Rod Shoot Out down in Saugas CA there were having a spec series of racing and losi i belive was the Co that came out with those blue tires ( appropriately named the smurf tires)...

Update - Folded a body in alloy, still a long way to go :-) Update 001.JPG Update 003.JPG Update 002.JPG looks good in my opinion it looks like the ol front engine sand dragster put some paddles in the back and a false super charger stack coming out the top of the body about 3" back from the f...

Gonna ask a stupid question here but what difference does the piston make? Is it damping amount essentially? short answer yes it restricts the speed of bound and rebound in the shocks,other than the springs,if you didnt have them when your shocks compressed than extended you would have a bouncy eff...

Thanks for the reply. I think I have the extra springs, but I KNOW I don't have any pistons. Are they still available? How about the springs?

A little more info on my car... and a bump, hopefully someone can help! Right now I have black springs in front and green in the rear. I'm going to try out -.5 camber in the front and -1.0 in the rear as a starting point. I'm thinking 27.5wt in the front and 30-32.5wt in the rear? I really want to ...
