My beater needs Help!

[Chop Shop]

My poor ol wheeler has been whooped on for some time now. It gets wheeled sometimes 4 times a month. Im not nice to it at all.

I have rolled it and flopped it several times. Its just getting a little beat up, actually its getting down right ghetto.

Heres the damage it has taken on over the last year. It was cherry last december.

Man Im loving the new lower weight and lower COG.

Didnt change a thing on the frame or suspension and it feels like a different rig.

Heres some driveway poser shots on my RC rock pile and car trailer.
