So just a quick little update...
Well I figured it would happen eventually but was hoping it would last more then 600~ miles
Hopefully i'll be able to come up with some better videos here in a bit as I got a little gopro type camera, which I was testing on the way home from work Friday and came around one of my favorite corners in 2nd gear, gave it the beans and BAM KLING KLUNK RATTLE
Turns out I found the limits on the axle as it came apart on me on the ride home, WAH WAH WAH.
Doesn't look like anything broke in particular but rather came apart because of too much angle to the dangle. That and I was stressing it out about as much as possible making a right hand 120* uphill turn. Was it my fault, yeah sure, but what is the point of having a car like this and not driving it like an ass a bit?!?!
So I ghetto repaired one of my original axles and put it in for temporary purposes... now I really need to look into upgraded axles, only problem is that I don't think anyone has made any, including Renegade. They were talking about it a few months back but haven't heard anything going into production.
I found a few companies out there who will make custom axles etc. so may just have to have a set made up special for it. If I go this route I may have them made just a bit longer to help compensate for the transmission being back a bit further.
So to recap, if anyone has suggestions for upgraded axles, please let me know!
Also can anyone suggest a decent easy to use program for editing .MOV video files? I'll post the video of the axle blowout as soon as I can cut the video down to size as I'm sure no one really want to watch my whole ride home
Thanks
