still need to figure out if a fuel cell from DB rods and minis is gonna work the best or what. Going to go ahead and put 4:10 gears and locker in the rear end while its out.

some, its going pretty slow, I just got in my detroit locker and my gears are on the way. Trying to work something out with DBRods to get a custom fuel cell on the way also.

Gonna try to get the rear end set up and then it'll be going again.

Thanks man. I'm just kinda sitting still at this point, gathering parts and trying to get some other stuff finished. I'm in no big hurry to finish.
