bunch of time stripping the chassis, milling ect. that it seemed like I was going to have a ton to go through again once I got it dialed in ( at least as far as aluminum re-prep ) So I decided to take the suspension off this car and build a "technicolor vomit" ((tm Temple of speed)) test car
I ran about 6 packs through it on a 100 deg day ( our test track is at our house ) and the only real thing I had to do was add some pre-load in the front shocks as the car always wanted to jump very nose heavy, after that a little tuning as a driver to eliminate the on power tight situation I was passing my track mate on the outside(tabletop w/off-camber downhill right & SC10 
) but the car was super responsive and very easy to move around the track, taking as many different lines and or approaches as I could come up with 
. I do need to add a front "bumper" for those nose in's though, maybe not scrub as much then 
Oh, also I put the machined stock rear hubs through a pretty rough time as I got re-aquainted with a 2wd buggy
( these things tumble like winged sprints when you time something wrong 
) but I was not sure I had tested them properly--so I handed the car over to my 5 year old and let him run a few packs No breakage 
as a homage' to Jeff's cars
