I need help! I can't view any pics on pages 1-5. The pics only show up on page 6. Can someone help? And it is a nice car Damien.

How's the EPS holding up? Are you happy with it?

The controller for the powersteering stopped working about 60 miles into our last run. I returned it to the company. They are going to replace it for free. It sounds like it was a fluke. I'm very happy with it. it functions better than I thought. There is no lag or back lash. it just feels like the steering is lighter.

here is a link to all my pictures of the build I'll get some updated pics soon.

The front suspension looks a little stiff but otherwise looks awesome.

That thing looks awesome. Nice job.

I uploaded some more pics to photo bucket. The new pics are of the car after a desert run. I'm pretty happy with it and its pretty sorted out, except the engine. The engine bogs and stumbles right off idle which makes it hard to take off from a dead stop. there is also an intermitent miss at around 8k rpm but its only every once in a while. when it does happen it acts like a bad rev limiter and keeps it from reving higher. I also dented a rim then flatted the tire. I was only running 16psi (anyone with 33 yoko's on a mini buggy have tire pressure suggestions?) The power steering worked great this time as well. I would certainly recomend the atvpowersteering.com set up.

That's a good looking ride.

I like the boxed arms a lot.

The wire harness pic gives me nightmares too. Seen that one too many times!
