Anybody try this. It doesn't look like aluminum but an option nonetheless.

To mod a regular ALU horn takes 15 mins super fast being running for a long time with no issues but you need to had a few shims to make it fit correctly. Dynamite cost 6 bucks you can match the steering to throttle if your into the bling effect

Hi people. I wanted to ask 2 questions, the first is about the sloppy throttle linkage, but as i entered the thread i see that you have already dealt with it properly! So i am buying Hudy horn and dynamite linkage.
The second one is that i have seen a lot of people driving their truggies like drifting in 180deg. corners and sort of "pivoting" their truck around the pipe. How do they achieve that? Is it diffs? Is it driving style? Is it about breaking early or late? Tires maybe?
Here in Greece everyone is driving their truggies like driving buggies. No drifting, breaking early, licking the curb and then hard on the throttle. But it seems to me they are loosing the whole fun of driving a truggy on dirt.
My diffs are 7-7-3 on a dirt track and 7-10-3 on a blue groove one. Everything is almost stock (clutch 2 carbon on loose track, full alu in groovy one).
