Status: offline 		Your diffs are in backwards
happened to me at track one day after doing a diff oil change.
good idea to mark them when you take them out.

either that or you started your motor backwards.
which is also possible

When the cop pulls you over doing 160 mph, and asks if you knew how fast you were going say, "yep i had cruise control on".

Status: offline 		i did it with my LRP... remember you can't put 8ight diffs in backwards... CLICKY, all you need to do it get your bump box to turn the engine over backwards.. mine miss fired though, started it with a hand held electric start.

Status: offline 		He's Running a buggy, which usually means starter box, you can easily start a motor backwards on a box, by spining the flywheel in the wrong direction.

TB

and unfortunately you can put the diffs in backwards on an LST lol
thats the truck it happened to me on.

Status: offline 		it won't mess up your clutch, i run my clutch backwards normally, holds up just fine..

but the engine doesn't breath properly running backwards because of the timing window in the crankshaft, doesn't match up properly running backwards.
