Same as last year right? Took showtime 2.0 out and broke a rear lower link / control arm.... Fixed it and proceeded to wax everyone's ass?

I bet it is ready next weekend and works great. Any takers?

Trial and error!! Build break fix repeat until it just don't break much anymore.

Why not a A arm of two separate links off the frame with two heims off the knuckle and a huge gusset?

the knuckle pivot would have to be redesigned for something like that.

I was thinking more like big honking uniball in the knuckle and a fabbe'd A arm to "double shear" the uniball

Re:

Man....pretty aggressive cut on those Treps. Kinda reminded me of Shane Keller's hill killer buggy on the 47" LTBs.

That suspension looks to be working great! Just need to get the beef to handle the abuse.

Looks like it tore a hole in the sidewall of the rear tire too.

I thought I seen on on Instagram that somebody broke an Overson knuckle on the same rock. I don't know much but I imagine it would be hard to build anything to withstand a straight on hit like that. He was hauling ass and that rock was just begging to break anything.

Jason Spegal took a hard hit and a wild ride from the same rock.

Looks like it broke several through the day

Nick Cooper...Destroyed a Raceline wheel. Soon as that rock started showing good, it got nasty.

TC seems like a humble guy, I bet he's kicking himself today for exspecting that little amount of heim shank engagement to stand upto his driving style.

Re:

I think it was more just the way he hit that rock then it was the buggy not holding up its end. It looks like he was hitting a wall and you can build **** as tough as you want but if you hit an immovable object going that fast somethings gotta give and it sounds like that rock wasn't giving anything.
