Broke the RF outer stub/joint on that climb. Damaged the ears on the yukon inner slightly.

 

 

After the first night, woke up to a cracked and leaking fuel cell. Thankfully some jbweld sealed it up for the weekend.

 

Nice. Where is the new trail at?
FWIW, I have found Seal All works better than JB weld on gas.

I like the JB weld (or other brands) putty better for sealing gas tanks. They sell the same stuff at pool stores, and I used i for sealing any leaks at the skimmers, even when it was under water.

I've seen it seal leaking gas tanks a few times.

 

It was all I had in my bag.

 

if it worked, then that's all you needed.

 

Jim, it's about a 30 minute out the back driveway at curlys.

10-4.

 

The thing I liked about the Seal All is that it actually sealed a dripping, cracked seam. Didn't have to drain it first. Will JB weld do this?

 

The putty has. I was working in the pits and a guy came in with a leaking aluminum tank with gas pouring out the seam. We rolled up some putty and sealed up the tank. We finished the pit and he drove out and did another lap.

 

I flexed out on a trailer and leaned over stoping the leak. So I don't know.

 

:woot: I won the race :sonicjay:

Great driving John that buggy works great!

 

Sx vs mtrk


Wheeling in Canada...

I would say the mtr had better traction/grip then the sx.

The mtr w/o a doubt on my kmc beadlocks were far better at holding air. In the past several years I can't recall one time I burped air from a bead. I typically had them @ 4 psi or less when not racing.

Sx, I had them around 8psi, found myself refilling them a few times throughout the weekend from burping air.

However, w/o a doubt, I put the sx in situations that I know would have wrecked mtr sidewalls. I have some pretty good chunks out of the sx sidewalls from Canada. Mtr would of torn open for sure.

 

Sounds related. Stiffer sidewall - burps air, but stays together. Softer sidewall - holds air, easy to damage.

Groove the SXs for better traction?

 

Doh.... just noticed you did groove them.

 

 

 

 

I think SX's need double beadlocks

 

:naughty:

 

Always a sad day.

 

Been a long, fun ride. But the buggy is going to a new home.
Hope the new owner keeps updating this thread.... oke:

 

I think he will. he sounded happy :naughty:
