Thanks guys! I've still never run it. I had thought about running it in sand, but it would be horribly messy. Maybe one day it will snow in Long Beach :lol:

I think I have the parts left over to build a runner with this same suspension set up. It could be cool for a street version:

Teman, got a link to the vid? I gotta check that out!

It was fun driving it, I just had to replace all the screws that rusted up after the fact :lol:

It hit the mags. I don't have in front of me but I think it made a cover shot too.
