I plan on going to the Halloween Classic at the Gate and was wondering if anyone else is. It would be cool pitting by some fellow Awesomatix drivers if so. I will try not to ask 2 many questions but I am sure I will have a few because I won't get to run the car very many times prior to this race.
I havent tried the ball diff, but it could be easier to build tighter. I tried a gear diff w/ 2.5M oil but it still didnt feel stiff enough. Most of us actually prefer a solid axle still. Lots of us will be there
