It reminds me of a guy that built a boat in his basement.
ive been using "Maxima racing oils fork fluid 235-150 15wt" works good on my buggy.
WHOA, you just took back like 2900 posts, quite a realization my friend.

So I'ver been slacking on updates..but def not on the build. Past 2 weeks:
Added more triangulation to chassis
mounted battery,trans cooler, other etc.
MLK 3 day weekend: Nate and I mounted up the motor. I also managed to jam a piece of steel into my forearm which slowed us down for a couple hours. 9 stitches later we were back at it.

It does...just not as well. I find superglue doesnt hold as well on skin that moves around alot. + i was due for another tetnis shot.
it is a stock mini truck in the front ifs in the rear. normally ppl run a 1.5" spacer in the front to even up the 55" mini to the 58" ifs. I wanted to run wheels with a 2.5"BS. The raceline monsters only go down to 4"BS so.. I swapped the 1.5" to the rear and got 3" for front. viola! an evenly matched set of axles with an effective 2.5"BS.
Got to test out the cushy seat and pretend-drive it yesterday afternoon. Nice work so far, Brendan!

Update: All the structural tube work is in place now. I am just filling it in. mounting accessories n stuff.
Narrowed the grill.
Then Nate swung by and said the bumper stuck out farther than it needed. So.. had to chop it.
took 7.5" off. Now the axle is the frist thing to hit.
Hood installed
It was worth the work for the extra approach clearance
