i told you would need a heat gun rob, i would suggest running a couple of tanks at home mate or near the hair dryer, probably 5 +, no point running it in at the track, you just want flat ground really.

Yea, sounds like thats my only option. Will have to do it when the parents are out or when my kids are not asleep... HMM, that could be difficult to find that perfect time but I will do my best.

Perhaps tomorrow evening maybe after everyone has their naps I might be lucky

I was just going to go up and down the main straight and do some figure eights and stuff, the track was just a good spot as its away from everyone else and has some good work bench areas and stuff.

Ohwell... I might even put the OS motor in the Truggy and give it some laps if i really want to get the Truggy moving ... hehe.

OK, It seems you cant beleive what the box says I have just been doing some checking on the MM Website and even tho my box says it comes with the 2047 pipe it clearly ISNT that pipe.

GO 2047 Pipe - http://www.massivemods.com.au/produc...products_id=70
Go Femca 8081 - http://www.massivemods.com.au/produc...roducts_id=104

As you can see, mine is clearly the 8081 pipe. This is my motor - http://www.massivemods.com.au/produc...roducts_id=133

Anyways, I wanna get this thing turning over already...

Hey Glen,

There is no stinger brace, thats the main thing that caught my eye. The pipe looks the goods, and even as bloody rich as it was, it sounds cool I cant wait to see some pics of your build bud. I am looking forward to getting another shell for it soon and doing it all properlly.

In the mean time, i just wanna get it rolling around the back yard

GOD YES! I got another tank through while I was waiting for the Snapper to cook.

I Went fishing yesterday and caught a 81cm reddie, the other 7 were lost to the White that was haunting us all day... didnt realise what was down there til it took the snapper from us right next to the boat... scared the hell out of us, I nearly got its nose in the net and was nearly pulled overboard

I know Corney Point, spent Easter 04 just a few minutes dodwn the road on a beach there with some mates

I actually wasn't scared, I was just so excited and amazed to see it at the boat . It all made sense seeing it as to why were were getting busted off... 7 snapper lost to Mr Toothy.

Anyways... TRUGGY is getting its 1st run around the track today, looking forward to it.
