What do you guys think? Sprint car with 40's?
All this came about because of these little F**kers:
Yes, both wheels came completely off rolling down the road by Boulder Bay. I was on my way home after an AAT run on Holcomb. Heard a knock-knock noise (no joke). Pulled the front end apart in the 7-11 parking lot but didn't find anything unusual. I didn't look inside the third member...
I pulled the axles and went for a drive. The noise stopped so I figured, run it home and get it up on Jacks. Made it to Boulder bay when the wheels started coming off, literally. Like a dumb ass, I trusted those freaking unit bearings to stay together. They didn't. AAA took me home, got it up on jacks and found the broken ring gear. All in all, not too much damage, but the Rat's out of commission for a while. Guess I'll have time to build my suspension now.
