Ok I got a wild hair and decided to change my steering. Have wanted to do this but didn't think it would work with how far over the servo was. Well it works perfect.

Well I asked my lil girl katelyn if she wanted to head out and practice to get ready for the comp next weekend. She's still not feelling 100% but wanted to buzz around the house. She found her stuffed animals could go on rides,lol..

Hoping tommorow she is more up to it--and will take her out for some practice time..

So I went out and started trying to dial my rig in when I popped the rear mip driveshaft off 2 times. This is when I found the output galled up pretty good(shaft was perfect)

So I was able to flip the rig over and get into the area with a file. The output on the DNA dig has 2 good flat spots that were rounded off now--so I just worked those areas with the file and again has 2 flat spots that were a lil deeper. The MIP shafts also only come with one set screw per side--but I went and doubled that up. I also took the 2 set screws and filed them flat so when tighted they had more bite against the output shaft. That trick seemed to work as it never fell off again...

So I ended up running for a couple hours, and found I only needed to tweek the front coilovers/spring setup. The rest of the rig is working perfect. And the new DNA dig--I can't say enough about it coming from what I thought was a good dig tranny(R2). I was able to engage and dissengage at any point--and each and every time it worked 100%. pretty happy about that..

But here are a couple of pics from my practice area.

But I have a lil more tweeking on the new radio and front end tommorow and should be ready..

Well katelyn was finally feeling better on monday so we went out on the practice area so she could get used to the rig. She had fun and it was the first time she had used the dig. Still gotta teach her what "wadding" it up means,lol. But she's a thinker and takes her time

But she's excited about the comp coming up on sunday
