Thanks Guys
I am soo happy to finally see her finished. We have a couple of issues with the motor building too much pressure in the crank and the block I guess does'nt have a pcv valve. So we are installing a crankcase breather setup. Other than that she rips. I'll get some video and post up later in the week. Standfast the EPS system works great, almost to good at full assist and high speeds. The cool thing is you can adjust it or turn it off. We'll see how it holds up. Now we enter the more exciting phase of actually racing the car.
Thanks for all the help everyone. With out this site I would be stuck with the rotting out skeleton of some chinese POS buggy.
This site and all its members Rock!!!
