Looks pretty cool. I think you should swap the front diggers so you can climb in reverse. :roll:

Must be that new axle-less 4WD system. OH secret, maybe?

Are you using the syncro tranny or some top secret set up? Also what front center section did you use (I'm just guessing it IFS) syncro aswell? Are you caging the drive shaft so if a joint brakes it don't have any where to move or having 2 carrier bearings on the shaft? I have been tooling with the idea for a while but have had too many other project's in the fire.

The Syncro tranny's are a nice unit if that's what you used, plus you can get them with air lockers for the tranny and the front center section out of Canada.

Would love to see some photo's of the drive line. Your buggy look's top notch, you did a great job on it.

if all it takes is AAA that would be great because that is way cheaper than the money we got tied up in the electrical parts.

Dean is right, are you gonna drill them? It will let out the "Bad Compression" allowing you to turn over more power so you can spin those 4, 31-inch tires over better :lol:

Thats old school.We have something better then that.We adjust the valve .005 tight so all the bad compression escapes evenly.Now who's thinking?

Do you set to .0 then add .005? I set mine at .0, I'll have to try that it should keep the turbo spooled up.

Count the revulation between .005 and tight and then screw it in that much again.

No. It's getting some more parts lightened up inside of it.No substitute for HP.
