Experiences

  • Used bad silicone for waterproofing. Silicone did not harden, car full of goo.
  • Gravel is a killer for the drive shafts and axles. Need to find some steel shafts and axles.
  • Black+Red springs each corner. Better on gravel and soft terrain, flips much easier on tarmac.
  • Self painted body: Cut body before paint, do not paint inside the house as the paint smells, always do one more coat of paint than you think neccessary.
  • Body posts are narrower than on Savage

Resources

  • Mod: Been told (Tome Eivind Gangenes) that heavier grease for diffs will make the diff lock better.
