Re: Quick prop question

Dai I just put your engine mounts in so I think the engine had just sat a lot higher than it used to that's all

Just wanted to make sure my new prop went on as flat as it could go

Quick prop question

The prop should sit parrel to the car shouldn't it?

Mine at the minute rakes down towards the gear box which is most likely why it ate the prop?

360 transmission

How hard would it be to run the 360 transmission on a f7p'd 340?

Could you just get an adapter plate made up?

Extra lock

Awhile back there was a bloke on here that just cut out 1 inner bushes o the steering rack to create more steering angle. I take it it's fairly simple to do?

I can't remember his name just remember being in a build thread
