I put some spring clamps on in hopes of hooking for a few races set up for tomorrow night. It hooked a lot better, and robe a lot better (mines a dropped 4wd, and was too soft, this stiffned it up a little) then I go out a few hours later and bust the POS G80.


Spring clamps>G80

i think it was just the g80's time. the spring clamps only help with wheel hop. if it was hopping bad before thats what probably killed the g80. time to upgrade

This hot rodding thing is a vicious cycle...Hop it up, break it, fix it and then break somthing else...The good news is once you fix it it will be somthing else next time!

Hopefully you will find all the weak links. And when you do ,you will eventually have more power and find the next weak link. Its a viscous (sp) cycle.
