It's been a while

I kinda let the blog stagnate for a while. But I'm giving it a little love now.

As for the Hellfire I dumped alot more money into it. I pulled the stock engine out of it and installed a Racers Edge Surefire32 engine and I am really pleased.

Here is a list of some of the other things.

  • Changed out the 13t clutchbell and installed a 16t clutchbell to add a little more top end.
  • After adding the new items I ended up chewing up the center differential due to the added torque of the new engine and new clutchbell.
  • Replaced the bent shock towers
  • Replaced the center diff cup, which was originally plastic, with a machined aluminum one.
  • Rebuilt all of the differentials and changed out the diff oils. I went for a 7K, 3K, 10K oil setup.
  • Changed the shock oil weight for better handling.
  • Airbrushed a new body as the stock body was trashed.

That is all I can think of right now. I will add some more pictures when I get home.

Money into the Hellfire:
$300 for the various parts mentioned above.

Total so far
$940
