Last event I did i poked a hole in the rad and it overheated to the point it seized so it's new engine time

Also got a hole in braided brake line

Transfer box pops out of 4lo

Intercoms stopped working

And stopped charging !

Few bits to fix

Done many challenge events now

Il try and get some pictures up, very badly beaten after some bad roll overs, ripped the front shock mounts out of the chassis and tore massive holes in the actual chassis, ripped the front of the transfer box of as well !!

Just came 4th at a challenge south west event which was good.

Pleased with how it's going, china air locker to try in the front soon
