Hmmm... I see the beginnings of a pulling hitch here rather than a body mount.

Nicely done!

I was finally able to get a copy of the instruction manual directly from Rob at Custom Works.

(I am noting this here in case anyone else is looking for one.)

Bump...

I still need this. Who are the Custom Works experts around here?

Usually I can easily find copies of older RC manuals with a simple Google search, but in this case I am striking out. I need a copy (digital or paper) of the Custom Works Enforcer instruction manual. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I have never lost one of those pins. All you have to do is use a quality Allen wrench and a dab of blue thread lock when installing the set screw.

The rear bumper is definitely the same material as the nerf bars and wing mounts. You are absolutely correct about the rear shock tower. Thank you! Are the bars plastic or aluminum? If aluminum I'll stick with my guess that they are Pro-Track parts. A lot of old dirt oval guys were the DIY type, an...

I agree that you likely have the car overgeared with those large tires. Also, if the Green Machine 2 (with 24 degrees of timing) was running hot, then switching to the pink motor (with 36 degrees of timing) will have made it even worse.

One thing I forgot to really mention- as every person receives the car and does their part, they are doing it their way. Just because I started with blue anodizing doesn’t mean the next guy can’t strip it and ano it purple. This is what will make the build exciting, as each person will add their ow...

This is awesome!

Please send those red parts my way if you intend to dye them black.
