Looked like a...Me and my buddy Mitch were finishing up getting my car prepped for a race this weekend and I noticed something on the trailing arm. Looked like a crack, so I hit it with the wire wheel. Yup, sure enough. The Light Racing square rod end reciever on my outer pivot of my trailing arm had a crack going straight through it. Must have happened in Snowflake. I have no idea for sure how long it was cracked though. I took it on a couple of light abuse cruises after snowflake not even knowing about it. I know some people here have used these so I figured the would appreciate the heads up to keep an eye on these things.
The pink line in this picture represents the path of the crack. It didn't show up well in the picture so I had to show it like this.
This pic is of when I originally built these. I added a large fishplate to the side to prevent this kind of failure but it just did it a bit in front of it. I didn't have time to fix it with a new reciever since tech is tomorrow night and the race is Saturday. Not sure I can even replace it without destroying the arm being I have it welded on the inside of the arm. My attempt at a fix for this race was to tig up the crack, tighten the cinch bolt. Weld up the cinch bolt seam/slit to tie it into the other side that wasn't cracked. Then I added a small piece of 1/8" plate to the topside over the seam that I just welded up. Not really any meat to add support to the side. Hopefully that will hold for this race until I have time to come up with a good solution.
I am using a 3/4" reciever incase anyone is wondering. Not saying this is gonna happen to everyone that has these as I am pretty hard on the car. Just a heads up.
Here is that fishplate pic and another view of where it cracked.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:47:33 GMTRoping A Deer-------
Actual letter from someone who farms and writes well!
I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall,...Roping A Deer-------
Actual letter from someone who farms and writes well!
I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed
it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it.
The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that since
they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of
me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at
the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away) it
should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its
head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home.
I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope.
The cattle, having seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They
were not having any of it.
After about 20 minutes, my deer showed up -- 3 of them. I picked out a
likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my
rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me.
I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a
good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it
was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation..
I took a step towards it...it took a step away. I put a little tension on
the rope and then received an education.
The first thing that I learned is that, while a deer may just stand there
looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action when you
start pulling on that rope.
That deer EXPLODED.
The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT
stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I
could fight down with a rope and with some dignity.
A deer-- no chance.
That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling
it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and
started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer
on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I had originally imagined.
The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many other
animals.
A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me
off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes
to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the
big gash in my head. At that point, I had lost my taste for corn-fed
venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope.
I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it
would likely die slow and painfully somewhere. At the time, there was no
love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the thing, and I
would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual.
Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had
cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various
large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly
enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared some tiny amount
of responsibility for the situation we were in, so I didn't want the deer
to have to suffer a slow death, so I managed to get it lined back up in
between my truck and the feeder (a little trap I had set before
hand...kind of like a squeeze chute.)
I got it to back in there and I started moving up so I could get my rope
back.
Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would
have thought that a deer would bite somebody, so I was very surprised when I
reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist.
Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they
just bite you and then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head
--almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD and it hurts.
The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and
draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was
ineffective. It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several
minutes, but it was likely only several seconds.
I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by
now), tricked it.
While I kept it busy tearing the tendons out of my right arm, I reached up
with my left hand and pulled that rope loose. That was when I got my final
lesson in deer behavior for the day.
Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on their
back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their hooves
are surprisingly sharp. I learned a long time ago that when an animal (like a
horse) strikes at you with their hooves and you can't get away
easily, the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make an
aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back
down a bit so you can escape.
This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously, such trickery would
not work. In the course of a millisecond, I devised a different strategy. I
screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run.
The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse
that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the
back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses after all. Besides
being twice as strong and 3 times as evil, the second I
turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down.
Now, when a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not immediately
leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed. What
they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are
laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.
I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away.
So now I know why when people go deer hunting they bring a rifle with a
scope to sort of even the odds!!!

I'm a big guy, 6'5" and aROUND 340lbs. I looked at the Pilots (too small) I've looked at a couple sets of plans. Here's my problem, I really like the Revolt XL and I only want a single seat buggy. I'm just worried I will not fit in it either. info on how big you are if you are a revolt owner and how well you fit would be great.. I know I should build my own buggy but I just don't have the time, energy, tools, space, or patience to build one and I'm worried about what I would really have when I was done, as I have never tried anything near this scale. So what I'm looking for are some of the big guys to help me with thier sugestions and ideas of how to get 10lbs of crap in a 5 lbs bag. thanks guys

If you aint heard of it...They got a screaming deal on it right now. Check the links.
This link above shows the smoking deal on Bend Tech Pro. You get the Bend Tech Pro and The Header Design software AND the spring back charts AND a years subrscription (or extension if already a paying member) for the cost of JUST the Bend Tech Pro! ($275.00 plus ten bucks shipping.) You can Down load the program almost immediatly AND they send you the CD's with it in the mail a few days later!
This link shows a sweet demo on how you can set it up and layout the cage.
This helps to not waste any tube and can be pivoted 3-d so you can see its shape from other angles. The program also makes tube notching templates and soooooo much more. I just bought mine for that deal.
If you been thinking about it nows the time to jump!
