Default RE: Tales of TN's 'Vader

The hits keep comin......4 laps into an early AM run yesterday left me with a busted tranny brace and rear mounting plate. It's the first replace on the tranny brace, and I know they make those in aluminum, so that's an easy fix. Those plates are about 6 bucks a pop at the LHS, and thats the second replace on that one.

This thing is simply landing too hard. Doesnt matter if it's full throttle or not, I don't think I've got enough ride height when landing from jumps. What's the answer here? Pre load the hell out of the shocks? Move the front upper shock mounts to the center or inner most position? Say to hell with it and buy a second truck that's more durable? For the money I'm dumping in this thing, I may well be on the way a Jammin or something of similar caliber.

And it rained late last night....no track time today!
