Our manager at the hobby shop I worked growing up went to a lot of the races down in Cali and said he couldn't believe how sloppy everyone's cars were at the big races.

My other mounts have some slop after I reamed them but I think I over reamed the left mount and it has way to much slop like way to much.

Just for a possible reference... I ream them with 9/64 lol.

I think that is what I used but will have to check. Thanks for the info

Hah, I had a sloppy truck back in the day that drove pretty good, I tightened it up so everything was just perfect and it drove like crap after.

Loose is fast!

I like my buggys like I like my women, fast and loose!

Fast and loose good slow and sloppy bad

Finally found some time to work on this again.

Getting there. Looks like you went with different towers than you originally planned. What are they and why the change ?

They are same manufacturer but these are for big bore shocks instead. I have new 13mm associated shocks coming in the mail.

Front linkage done

Ok lots more done. Added new RPM front bumper, b6 wing mounts and new wing.

She's a roller now minus the shocks They should be here Monday.

So for anyone running a car similar to this with big bore shocks are you running them on the front or backside of the rear tower?
