well it lives, and is badder than ever, got some really good run time in with it today, very impressive with how well it handled in a large open field with dirt and grass, did have one issue though the rear shock tower and wing mount just screw into the rear diff case on this buggy, and at one point I flipped, and noticed the wing was sticking up a little too high, so I shut it off and found that the screws that hold the brace and shock tower to the dif case had either become stripped, or vibrated out. regardless it looks like I can just drill the mount holes completely through and use some lock nuts to secure it better and prevent this from happening again. I'll post pics of the mod after wards and let you all know how it goes... and JSYAK the mount ing spots are to arms the stick up from the top of the diff case and are won't cause any sort of access to the actual diff by being drilled... looks like a design flaw IMO... easy fix though...
