Nope no jumps at all. Dancer just stay home, you will hate it. I'm sure you won't have one ounce of fun. I know when I drove it the full length straight was no fun. The triple coming at you was no fun. And the rhythm section...no fun at all. To compare...... its as much fun as reading a comment like yours before even running on it.

Mudge I know your proud of your track build. I don't want to take that away from you. But I guess if you don't want me to come I can stay away.

Dancer: its not "my" track build. I'm just defending everyone who worked on it. As far as staying home. Read my earlier posts from today. I think u know me better than that. I love to see everyone at the track. Come down Wednesday and drive the track. Heck drive my 4x4 if u want.

Again let me thank all of you who help with the track builds ! Its not only the track (which looks sweet) but the people that make PG what it is.

I agree with Leonard(it's tough) I would love to help with track builds, but let's be honest....I'm just to lazy..........:) Seriously, the track looks great, hell I'd race on gravel. Thanks guys

Aluminum rear hubs!!! any advantage to having them vs. stock plastic ones?? If so what makes them better and are they worth the extra $$$$$$

munsonator08
12-21-2010, 02:06 PM
Yes they are better. They use bigger bearings, available in 0, .5, 1.0 degree toe. Also you have the capability of running either the standard rear hub ball stud layout, or the SP2 hub ball stud locations. Well worth it. I have a set that will be used on my 2 wheel. Need some more for both my trucks.

I looked @ those, they are SP2 type but don't have the larger bearing...........I don't know if it really matters.

Dang Wednesdays take FOREVER to get here! It's way to addictive... I have this unshakable belief that this time I'll drive well. Man I hope I never drive well other wise I may not want to race as much as I do. I predict 2nd place in mod buggy, first if boats not around! See if I can maintain this fantasy land gig this shit will never get old!

AE was good probably my fastest. I haven't like AE since I was a kid with the dominating RC10. It's on the short list again.
