Re: Drill Press Advice Please

Re: My HEMTT build

The Mk48's use a special Detroit turbo charged AND supercharged engine so I can only imagine how awesome they must sound.

Re: this is my first attempt at a rig rat

Thats a cool truck but that guy has a lot of faith in that wishbone front end. Iv'e seen more than a few of those Hiem joints fail at rally bad times on these rods.

Re: My HEMTT build

I did hit a small snag with the length of the leaf springs I have. The tire diameter I'm using is a little tall. Actually a little closer to scale from what I can see from some of the other builds...
