Pretty short runs as we haven't made the room to run them further yet around the house, but it works for testing some things out. It's time for a new converter though, this one is too loose.

A couple from the track.... The videos above had my regular paddles, I tried dads scoops at the track this day, only to realize it made my loose converter problem worse.
 
The track is 300'. It's only going bottom 4's@75MPH with my tires. Between really bad chassis flex and the wrong converter, I can only pull mid to low 1.7 60' times. I might actually tie the roll cage into the frame this winter to try and get it out of the hole quicker. The converter is getting changed for sure though. The runs I had with dads tires (in the videos) were slower MPH/etc. because it really put a hurtin on the converter.
 
These pictures aren't bad, there's been worse, but here's an idea how bad the chassis flexes with both mine and dads...

them things need ARB's

The front rollbar is tied into the frame, the rears are just bolted to the body. I think getting a good cage in them would help a ton, but yea, they need some help. Sometimes it goes straight as an arrow though.
