RE: MY ULTIMATE MONSTER BASHDAY....
JUST WAIT UNTILL YOU SEE WHT THIS BEST WILL BE SUBJECT TO lol yeah dvp actually inspired me to build this,i thought his own tractor thing is fairly mad looking... the t-max wheels just sit in to the end of the axle shafts,fronts have no pressure on them anyway,they dont sit in to the squares but i think they should be fine as they are not the driven end. i must wait to get the gears now and im good to go,i must throw in servos today, i think it will be very wheelie mad with the front so light,those offroad wheels are actually heavy on the rear...i borrowed them from my tralier

RE: MY ULTIMATE MONSTER BASHDAY....
UPDATE: so as my beetle is such an expensive project these videos are as hard as its ever going to be pushed (not too much lol) it still can be taken pretty hard,but i do mind it. & i will mind it more...i dont push it too hard being honest.i cant afford to... BUT..... thats why i want to introduce my NEW ultimate bash machine,im just waiting on gears to change and some other minor changes and away i go,this machine is going to be my ultimate bash weapon. it is NUTECH GT5-R converted to tractor/offroad truck, it has t-max front wheels and fg rear offroad wheels. stay tuned for updates on this.i have one off shell also its going to be MEGA COOL. i will also have a little pilot for it....mmmmm ahah of course this can be changed Back to onroad in no time at all but for the winter it is going to be in this guise for a while as i already have 4 onroads this is the best option right now for this,i need an out and out basher,to do stuff i cant with my beetle.... to boldly go where FG beetle cant..... lol ladies and gentlemen i would like to present to you my latest project: & dont LAUGH NOW at my great name for it lol GT5 tract -R

RE: FG Short Wheel Base
hows it going yeah you just need chassis and new engine mounts and few other little bits you need to look into. man you would be better off buying a differnt chassis an evo 04 lwb or something. why on earth would you want to change from shortwheel base,i know handling is better on the long wheel base but negoitable, man i would keep it and get the most desirable bodyshell black 911 porsche.

RE: Assassins Creed II
i too had/liked first one but had issues also with it. i might take a gamble and just buy the new one although i shouldnt as i have just bought moderen warefare 2..... its a cool game,there is something really nice about medievil style adventure games that i love. i used be a huge fan of the arcade game golden axe years ago lol it was a classic. i have a few great adventure games in my collection actually but they can take up huge time....
