i have a question for anybody that can answer , has anybody had any problems with hot racing parts being to soft ( threads pulling out easily ) ?
i have there driveshafts in my creeper and the set screws keep striping out , i finally drilled and tapped all of them to 6-32 and they seem to be holding for now

still need to weigh my rig just don't have a scale for it right now , but i am really happy with the performance so far since the changes . i am kinda keeping my eyes out for another creeper or at least axles and tranny for another crawler idea or maybe put a vulture or xr on it and run dig for a 2.2 pro rig . may have to piece this together since money is tight will have to see what drops in my lap so to speak ( good deals etc. ) .
