Frank made the A final in his class. He had electrical problems with his radio in the warm up and missed the start. Once he got our on track he lapped well and finished 8th I think

Sportsman truck or 0% chassis sponsor (which is how they did the classes) went down to the F main. I lost a bolt in the steering rack and had to run to my pit to fix it. I started 5 mins late in the 30 min main and I actually caught up to 8th place. The truck was awesome. Tix was on it with support. I didn't change a single thing from his setup it was perfect. The thing just moves, rotates and is controllable everywhere. I did have a radio issue in quals and ended up in the B main. I won the B main by 1.5 laps. The guys in the pits were talking about it and I even showed it to Mr. Hudy when he stopped by my trailer to snap a pic of my wal-o-xray parts. So I snapped my own pic

Soon to be 3 rolling around these parts...

I race buddy that had his cars stolen at DNC was borrowing here and there to race this past weekend and at the start of his truck main he suffered the dreaded broken front Mugen truck arm. I offered to let him run my truck in his main. He went on to win his 30 min main, then I pulled off a 4tth in my main. This truck ran perfect all day long and over an hour of mains almost back to back. It did catch some attention. Still riding the new car wave here

A little action from the expert truck main this weekend at CVR in Madera Ca. The camera man picks my truck up around 8:14 in the pits. (Pink-blue-white )

So this, you take a buggy kit, purchase your kit and combine the 2 to make a truggy yes? Just making sure i understand the process

Yea pretty much. You can start with either a buggy or truggy kit and use the conversion kit to create the XB8'14T.

If you start with a buggy you will need to buy some truggy parts to finish the build. Eg, diffs, arms, driveshafts, rear tower and shocks. There's some more parts but they are the bulk of it.

If you email me from the webpage, I can give you a full list
