Just got back from Orlando FFW spring shoot..

and here is a picture at the burnout box. The next picture is what happen at launch, I had the motor on kill, I had the tune up from hell and look what happend.... I check the motor and compression is fine, but the rear end at the top of it when the traction lock broke it hit so hard that it made a hole on the top, so I have to replace it complete. That is what happens when you have over 700ft lbs at the wheels...

So you didn't even make a pass? That sucks.

Hope you had fun though.

Yes I do have another housing here with the ends cut for the c clip eliminators. I'm just debating if I'm going to put a spool with the 28 spline moser that I already have, or see if Paul has a set laing around that he wants to sell. I got to get new gears too. So hopefully I have it ready for FFW in Atlanta.
