Current guards are doing what I had hoped for... keeping debris from being thrown on shock shafts. Next set of mug guards will be somewhere around 1 cm wider at the top in hopes of keeping most of...

Not The Only One With Sore Fingers

When Tebo recently posted about him being certain his fingertips were bleeding (slight sarcasm) after getting his 2.0 shock collars on, I don't feel so bad now. He also said to grease to the o-ring,...

When picking out a battery pack to use in the buggy, I'd definitely suggest a pack that has inboard tubes so as to not have anything get in the way of the wide battery strap. I chose a lower budget...
