nice man i think you need to invest in some suspention i put on some new shocks and springs on my ja and it makes the ride respond so much better as well as cutting out about 70% of the body roll

Thanks. I had it setup soft for the skid pan to try and get as much traction as possible. I also removed the rear sway bar to reduce inside rear wheel spin.

That looks awsome, it almost looks like the wheel is off the ground. How did you get any traction on wet cement. I just slide all over the place if I try and run it hard at all.

I'm imagining if you had an LSD in that wet stuff you would have lost the tail end multiple times.. starions tend to snap out VERY quickly when breaking traction regardless of water. mine also used to axle tramp all the time but that was due to hard springs and soft shocks...

yes, but sooo much more fun :D

The motorkhana courses can get real tight with turns greater than 180 degrees so a rear end that whips around would be a useful tool to have when driving the tight courses. I agree that some more skill and finess would be required to control that and put it to good use.
