  10. good stuff guys!!! thank you! I always weather my tires, just never used these because theyre plastic. So I decided since I have some to see if I can do something with them.
  11. I have some of these old plastic tires. Before I get rid of them, is there a way to make them look more realistic? I was planning to blend the seam and spray them in primer. any other ideas? thanks guys!
  12. looks awesome
  13. dirt and asphalt setup is interesting to me esp outside spring rate numbers. it's crazy how complicated turning left is haha my jaw dropped the first time I saw a pull bar work
  14. Traction is the big issue out there, We only ran 1 inch of suspension travel because we needed to be on a suspended car. To make the car hook, we were actually stiffening the left front and right rear to combat the unloading of the right rear tire. We also didnt run a posi/spool because "its not if, its when you spin a roadster" another way we dealt with traction was to ballast the car heavy. some guys even have weight bars in areas of the car to ballast one side or the other. Its not uncommon to see "hot rod" type race cars weigh in well over 3000 pounds BTW. car looks AWESOME
