I'm just disappointed that he didn't weld the tapped holes shut on the knuckles and sand them smooth... :'(

Other than the Spidertrax parts, the entire car is 4130 chromoly. The plate material is 3/16, 1/8, and 1/16.

The ram is centered. The upper link bolt on the right side is the offset part. Gives us the up travel to drive it like a dirtbike with the offset motor.

Can someone explain the second part of this statement in a way that makes sense to an extreme novice?

Engine is off center of the chassis, so to clear the engine and get all the up travel out of the suspension, the upper links are not centered on the axle.

The triangulation of the links is offset to the driver side a bit.

Another question from the tard... Why do a build thread? Random pics prob gets more views... Post them welds there, prob won't have anyone ask questions , and if they do and you don't answer it doesn't make people wonder why the **** you don't answer.. Just a thought.

Sooooo, does that mean this can be the random tech pic thread? All it needs is a new title.

If we could get answers on why he welded over perfectly good welds I'd be super impressed.
