it’s only important that SPEEDTECHS guys know what they’re doing and are even good enough to spot the issues to begin with..... Something Sutton nor the dickheads were.


Ouch !!!!…….. Well....It's on the path to recovery now !!!!

Well the good news just keeps coming..... here’s the wiring and what was the shielding around one of the battery cables —- DEI heat shield melted — wire cover melted — in other words a fire waiting to happen..... I’m glad Benny Moon didn’t or hasn’t seen what his good buddy built and put him behind the wheel of.....

Thank you for sharing all of this Greg. For those of us with projects with the same suspension, we are definitely looking forward to seeing what changes might be made. From a financial standpoint, I hope not a lot has to change in order for it to be safe. We have all spent far too much already, on parts we thought would be the greatest ever, and had assumed that previous testing had been done, and that our safety should never have to be questioned. Thanks again for bringing this all to light. It would be great to see this thread be used as a guide on how to redo what’s wrong with all of the RSRT parts.

Maybe it's a good thing it could only run 2 laps at a time. Anymore, and the the damn thing may have burnt to the ground on the track.
Just trying to guess who would have been blamed if that had happened...

It was already Benny's fault the watt's link mount broke because he dropped a wheel off. Not like regular roads have pot holes, speed bumps, etc...

I missed where he said that. We NEVER have get offs on the track, do we?

Honestly though, honesty.

Do they sell honesty at WalMart? or reputation?
