Default THE BLENDER

Here are some pics of my ride. The Blender

A few things: I have switched up a few parts from the EVO and modified the Rear Arm System to simplify car maintenance and speed diff changes.

The rear arm system plastics are bullet proof, so I decided to open them up, making the dog bones accessible for diff assembly, inspection and maintenance. I assume they will be plenty strong, but I made up a small batch for the pit bag. If you guys want to try this but want to be sure its beefy, I would suggest cutting two of the three holes, and face the solid side toward the exhaust and clutch to keep the gunk out.

I kept the old brake configuration simply because it works fine and again makes diff assembly easier. Because the brake mounting bolts do not thread into the bulkhead, I have added brake shoe springs to keep the pads separated.

And the front end, well, its for fun, and we will see how well its works vs the new design.
