Waste of money the gears aren't strong enough either!pholmann said:What are your thoughts if the case was replaced with the billet case?
,, idk too much about the Stak built billet case- but like said above- the gears are not the best unless you slap some LOWMAX gears in,,, but now that you have around $800 in a new housing and $600 for gears,, $3-400 on rear output beef and another $300 for front output- you have the total around equal to an Atlas- or a 2 beefy ass Lowmax chevy 205s !!!al1tonyota said:Waste of money the gears aren't strong enough either!
fltruckwash said:Trust me man... don't get in a hurry and slap it together KNOWING you're going to go with a different case. Not with a buggy of this caliber. Take just a little more time and save the money for the case you want. It will be worth it. I've picked up used atlas's for $1800.
Nice buggy by the way...
Is that typically the way to go about mounting the rear radiators? I utilized some factory bushings underneath mine, but will probably just be buying a universal aluminum radiator for my next build and was curious about the best way to mount it.pholmann said:Gotta have some slugs welded to the radiator first of next week.
I've seen radiators and fuel cells solid mounted that crack from chassis flex!pholmann said:It actually works out pretty good. It's clean and since there's virtually no movement in a tube chassis, cracking or stressing is not really an issue. I'm going to do my fuel cell the same way, just out of stainless.
Stock disc brake Chevys are on the front of the rotor. As long as the bleeder screw is the highest point it'll be fine. Those look a little off unless the pinion is flat in the rigkmcminn said:That is the first rear disk brake setup I have seen where the calipers sit on the front side of the rotor. Are they weld on or bolt on? They definitely seem backwards from normal. It looks like they should be on back side of rotor and calipers moved from one side to the other to keep the bleeder screw on top.
