I might just run a standard 80 rear then. Ruff stuff isn't doing housing for the next few months as they are way behind on orders
If I feel like I want rear steer down the track I will get jmac to weld some 80 balls on the end

The knuckles fall out. They don't seal well. Theyre often bent. The holes in Jases didn't accept a diff centre. And theyre heavy as a motherfucker.

lol funnily enough I was told exactly the same thing right down to the last letter from the guy that built Macca's, also that it took 9 months of 'They got sent yesterday' to get them.

Macca how wide is your truck outside of tire to outside of tire.
do u have any problems steering in the front with the 40's. It looks like it needs to be pretty wide to clear the chassis with 40's and not loose steering lock.
Any one know if cams have come up with anything on exo's yet.

Its not CAMS its CCDA, and no.

Run reverse Ackerman to help clear the chassis if its really an issue.

I've caught the TT bug and with the help of Team Blitz will be putting together a "Sierra" with the parts from my buggy.

If anyone is interested ill put up a build thread.

I think that car would be quite well suited to TT if it can be made to comply with the rules.

As an aside, with all the discussion about tyre/wheel weights earlier on in this thread - I had the opportunity to weight my 35" Krawler/Walker combo. They're 47.2 KG per corner.
