http://i66.tinypic.com/156fsrd.jpg Im back at it after last weekends offroad racing. I wish i had more spare time to push this boat build, but keeping a race vehicle in a race series can be a tough summer. Im sure you guys know what its like from your boat racing. Im onto getting the trailer fixed ... |

Its fawkin crazy, and im loving it. Ive had the truck for 7 years, and built it for crawling. It has no business racing but it has been fun trying to show em up. I keep it as lite as possible (3400 lbs) so i can just pin it and bounce off stuff with less chance of breaking. Most of my competition in... |

Yeah, who ever it was who said " looks like you have the space for it" was a joker. Its a tight little garage, but it keeps my hoarding in check. Yes, thats a hanging TV by all-round and deck brackets screwed through the sides. It swings and rotates when you smack it off your head. Its bee... |

If you get a chance check out Endura Paints. My Viper had peeling clear coat as well. Just sand the crap out of the gellcoat ,wipe it down with thinners. Mix the 2 parts and ad thinner as recomended in the directions. Spray with an automotive spray gun and it will shine like new. You can also tint ... |

Thanks for the comments. Im trully an amature at this boat stuff, but love learning new shyt. The sides of the boat are cleaned of the clear coat. Its just the areas of the dash, and anywhere there was logos, or mounts protecting the clear that are stuck good. I was gonna try one of the chem stipper... |

Any others around here into offroad, or specificlly rock racing on the TMR Customs Offroad Racing series? Ive been racing this POS '84 toyota thing for the last 4 years. I go up against big tire/axle/hp rigs and do pretty good sometimes. Its on 37" sticky Maxxis Creepy crawlers, stock 22RE moto... |

Im slowly getting into the Vandal while reading and researching how to do it. Ive bought a few parts from board memebers on here. Its in the garage, fully de-rigged, and im about to hang it, so i can set up the trailer bunks to support it properly. The bunks are terrible the way they are currently s... |

Thanks for all the info. Allison is a smart boat company, and the more i look at it, the more i understand why they did it that way. There really is no sense in two full helms less then two feet apart. A slider can be used as long as the plumbing/cables can move enough. I would need the Ally dash sl... |

The Allison tip is what i needed. I searched that out, and must say its interesting. Not exaclty what i was thinking, but close. Its easier to change, but a slight comprimise to true center. I could deal with right to left foot throttle. In my situation, owners of my hull that push them say balance ... |

Ive been looking around the interweb to see if theres any example. Im woundering if any owner, or manufacturer has ever made a dual helm/steering position HP boat. The idea is to have two front buckets and bench with side steering. Then, be able to take the rear bench out, and run back to back bucke... |
