JayJ Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Took my Mini 8ight to the RHR Suffolk meet on Saturday, it performed great on the track and jumps a dream. Okay so there were a few hairy moments, the track is a little stoney and the Mini 8ight done it's fair share of cartwheels but nothing broke! Got RPM's coming from The Toyz and when funds allow will be adding a front T-Bone bumper, then it'll be even more bash proof. Well impressed!

mydoddy69 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yeah as mini-z-awd said those metal brackets i made up are to stop the shock top from breaking easy to make up from a piece of alloy angle.. If you dont want to make them you can indeed buy the DP tower from the states or a cheaper option is to get some Vorza shock top protectors and mod them to fit and at about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
