I've done some mods for my buggy, mostly just for the fun of it, and a couple just to help eliminate anything that I saw as a weak point. I'd like to be able to post pics but as of yet I don't have that ability lol. Let's see... I built a 3mm steel front hinge boss (some probably already know why, for others it's a long story lol), as well as steel toe blocks, both the toe blocks and hinge boss have bushings just to help absorb some of shock from any impacts and bumps and such, as well as to prevent wear. I'm running a vented OFNA clutch bell now, as I got a rock or something up on the stock one somehow and it tore up the teeth pretty bad. I also switched over to OFNA hubs, and that was mainly because I lost one of my wheel nuts while I was driving around at the lake and wouldn't you know it, teh Caster hubs are threaded different than what the local shop carries anything for lol. And for sh*ts and giggles I installed a second fuel tank on the right side lol. I don't race right now, and as such I have no use for the transponder mount until i do decide to race, and being that I'm a basher at heart, I like to spend more time driving and less time worrying about how much fuel I have left. So I made a mount for a spare 75cc tank I had lying around that allows me to mount it in place of the transponder and remove it whenever I want to. Now i get a solid 20-25 minutes of run time before I have to refuel, where as before I was getting around 10-12 minutes, and the whole thing fits under the body. It also seems to balance out the buggy a bit so I guess it has a nice side effect lol. And I'm working on my new body, for which I chose an OFNA 9.5 body. It's either going to be done up WWII bomber style with a pin-up girl, or I might do some skulls on a candy apple red. I decided against the carbon fiber paint job. So that's about it. I'll post some pics eventually once my profile is enabled.
