Forgive my ignorance! This Builder is amazing! What are some of the technological upgrades on it that haven't been seen? I can't wait to see it in action!

Spot on! I was wondering if someone would get that. I'm glad you feel my pain. That **** never fails.

It's awesome to see a hard working, successful guy pair up with a hard working and successful shop to create something really damn cool. THAT is the American!

I cut the camera right before he got high centered on that rock.

crawlin85cj · Feb 8, 2015

If a bent return to center sending unit is the only issue on a brand new rig that's never been tested then I'd say that's pretty damn solid. It's a cheap and light weight part that got into a scuffle with a rock. **** happens.

Mode switch, manually straighten, light em up!!

I'm a guy that will usually call bull **** on people's horsepower rating or at least what they claim. this mutha flipper looked like it was wanting to ride wheelies across that Boulder field, why would anyone fault anyone for a rock taking out that cylinder during such a show of horsepower.

Exactly.

The rear axle housing in WFO is blasted from rock/gravel spray off the front tires. Richie's motor makes over 200 more HP than WFO, I can't imagine how rowdy that is because WFO is an absolute handful when it's wound up.

Like stated above there was very few teams that finished. **** is going to happen & break in a race like that no matter how good you build it look at all the IFS a arms that were broke in half those are insane $$$ front ends that shouldn't break! So with that being said no matter who builds it **** is going to break & go wrong in a race like that. But I would love for Richie to post up and say weather the buggy work better this time or last time because that would settle a lot because I didn't see where it was posted that WOD said because they were re doing it they were going to make a good finish at KOH. It said they were going to address the problems with the buggy that needed addressed. Like said above everyone will have there opinion.
