I love how quiet it is.

Ryan was hitting the rev limiter in 3rd geard at about half/three quarter hill too. Time to re-gear and go even faster!

DAMN

100ft roost and sh*t...

nice car ryan!!

That thing is bad a$$!!!!!

[spooner]

thanks Pete !!!

that jump on top in the 2nd run is cool

it looks like the shocks are still a little soft valved and she is sitting too high

the gearing is way too short; you can hear the rev-limiter popping (i guess it would look cool at night when the turbos blow the unburned fuel out the tailpipe )

Ryan thought it was pretty soft in the front end so we turned up the preload on the springs. What a pain in the a$$ that was.

We had to pull the bypasses out and then the coils to adjust them out of the car.

Then we did a dune run to the north pole and by the time we got to comp hill all 4 shocks had leaked. Thats why it was riding like crap at that point.

All I have to say is Wow that thing is just as bad a$$ in person as it is in the pictures. Get those shocks fixed Ryan. You are gonna have a fun time the rest of the season!

sorry for that

the coil-carriers have also a valving in it so we had to run the expansion can on them too....together with the big bypass there is just no room to get to the preload ring

i guess that short fat fukker is just overstuffed

no not that one (although that was great too). I meant the videos that come up on You Tube while you are watching the V Rex one on there. There are lots of space shuttle liftoff videos that come up since I used that as the keywords for the video.

Hey Ryan I didn't get a pic of your car where you blew that fuse, but buggychick did! That was a messed up spot to lose power.

holly s...t amazing Ryan got out of that spot under his own power (after he had power again )

darn 80! amp fuse :chug: ...V-Rex sure needs a lot of juice to run

[dunefreak]

We tried pulling the front end down the hill. Yeah right! Well we did manage to move it a little bit, but he just hit the gas and it pulled out ok.

I'll tell ya what...it was a pleasure to finally dune with Ryan and his new car. Its been a long time. I almost forgot that Ryan went to the dunes there for a bit.
