Leading arms? Wonder how that's going to work? Can't wait to see what it can do. Also sorry it's not embedded doing it from my phone sucks.

We all talk **** :tc

, but at this point I think he could be competitive in a shopping cart with a 5hp briggs.

The gear head in me wants to see a dyno :woot:

That's a bad mofo....props to TC pushing the industry

I would love to know the engine specs as well, it probably would have to be north of 750 inches to make that kind of power. But I have been fooled before.

Those axles are tits.

UPPER leading control arms...

Did you see how far the bumps are from the axle at ride height?

I feel like he's a couple years away from getting motors off of John Force and racing up places on the Rocky Mountains.

Pretty amazing what he can get done in a relatively short amount of time. Badass

It's not my favorite by any means. But I gotta respect the dude pushing the sport further and further forward. I look forward to seeing how it does.

To me it always seemed like "underrated" was one of the most capable rigs. This reminds me a little of that.

BUG-E J · Jan 20, 2018

The way the front suspension is works fine its just swapped. The lower link tab mounting and shock travel are the biggest changes hence the seat position and front shock hoops. That nig could drive a school bus backwards up cable hill so im sure it will look good. The deciding factor will be how long he keeps it and if he copies it on the next one

I've seen pictures of all the trophies in his shop and that speaks for itself.

Re: Stand back beotches

I'm curious about the steering. I would think a solid tierod and DE ram would bind during the travel, as the short tierods changed length.

That is a good point. But if the tierods are the same length and the ram is centered it should work. Right?

Crhall · Jan 20, 2018

Has anyone ever know him to be a bullshitter? Not as far as i know, if he says its 1400hp, it proly is.. Dude works his ass off night and day to build these things! Cant wait to see it run! Job well done

paradisepwoffrd · Jan 20, 2018

Re: Stand back beotches

From what I can tell from the vid, the ram is out in front of the tierod centerline, therefore it's tierods never straighten. If the angle doesn't change much, the length could change very little.

There would still need to be some play in the linkage, I would think, to keep it from binding.

Should make for a beef steering setup though.
