Status: offline 		Yup here are the close ups and yes the body still fits on it too its like a handle with the body on now!! The bracket i made is out of aluminum L stock and on the other side i used the same back side mounting hole from the LST2, then i cut the front one off and made that mounting section flat with the roll bar, i then drilled and tapped a 4-40 hole though the chassis and mounting bracket and bolted that one towards the front of cut and shaved mounting bracket from the lst2. (the body is on a little crooked from the factory so the body on pic from behind looks a little funny sry)

Status: offline 		NICE! Did you have to make your own holes in the sideguards to match up with the frame or did it just bolt on? How much were the sideguards too?

Status: offline 		the side guards are like $10 a pair on amain and as for the holes i had to shave down the mounting spot on the guard (they have little nut locker things on them) with a dremel and then i drilled out the front holes (in the chassis), I used the rear holes from the monsoon mounting spots and im not running bolts in the middle (its stiff enough already). You could drill the holes out on the guards i didnt think of that o well to late now and it already works!

Status: offline 		There are sooo many different variables in settings that no 2 engines will be or can be set the same and run the same. Heat, cold, altitude, humidity etc... You start at base settings and tune from there. Just watch your temps while tuning to make sure it dont get too hot and you will be fine. And yes the sh engine is pretty insane.

Status: offline 		All 4 of the SH engines I have run at different settings then each other. Can't really go by that. You can only really go off the stock setting if you are having troubles and start over from there again on your tuning.

Status: offline 		Well, dennis I need to know if you have a monsoon fuel tank in stock. I hit the side of a 2x4 coming out of a turn last night after my monsoon slid up onto some pvc sideways and down the pipe into the wood and slammed the pipe into the fuel tank and cracked it. May need more because it also moved my motor over and binding up my clutch bell and spur gear. And that was after my first lap

I HATE PVC!!!!!
