We flipped it back over, fired it up, and ran another race. I didn't place in the races but did with a Badass award. That's 2 years in a row now. Not that you can tell from the body panels that are never straight but the only damage was my light bar brackets are bent and broke my drivers door glass ImageImage

Still my favorite build. I wonder if bigger tires it would run out of power and maybe not break axles so often or stay right side up???

I've seen a few sets of those for sale and keep thinking they might be worth it.

You going to do the mounting yourself? Or is there a tire shop here that understands how to do it?

Will mount myself. It's not really hard just time consumingImage
