Fabricating my bumbers and 12 bar (wheelie bar)

[Nealy587]

trucks just a bit out of tune today.. being the all of a sudden cold front and rain that came last night but still not bad. and you can tell i still have plenty of work to do to get more stability

I see your still running the plastic pipe. a good upgrade for like 25 bucks is the aluminum resonator pipe for the 3.3 makes the motor a lil easier to tune and a little better performance imo.

Try a shape like this

Also if you could make some kind of hindge and add some shocks back there that would be pretty god check out rolex's savage on his profile

i was thinking that i might have made it too wide.. more that is grabbing.. wonder if i could make somthing that was half the width if it would be any more stable. but yeah will deff look at rolex's.. and yeah i want another pipe bad.. are you talking about one from traxxis? cause i found one the other day at the lhs and it was like 50

Somthing else you could try is adjusting your rear toe angle turn the tires in a little bit I've heard that helps

Ever time I raise the front end to wax the bottom they pivot nicely.
