M62 + 2.8 + 125 shot + DR's = BOOM
It was nice knowing you... 45k mi R.I.P.
You out lasted 2 motors, 2 turbo set ups, 1 twincharge build, 2 different N2O systems and 1 pair of stage 1 axels
you did me well and you got me home!!! Thats all that matters...I was racing my friends built LTR450 Quad on 20 shot. we were going from a dig. I was spraying 125 for the first time. I usually spray 50, 75 or 100 shot. but I put the drag radials on, drained the tank, put in 4 gal of VP100 in and let it rip...
With that size shot i knew traction in second would be slim so i only bumped the button from 5000 to 7000 and shifted to third, as soon as i pushed the button in third gear it just shelled 3rd right off it is completely gone. I slowed down thinking it was a roll pin or linkage issue or even an axle as i've broken 1 before.
But, as soon as i slowed down and heard the sound of marbles in a blender i knew i wasent in too good of shape. so i slammed it in second and cruised to my house about 4 blocks away...
By the time i got there all i could hear was terrible squeeling and grinding. plus fluid was leaking from between the case and the block all over my driveway. not to mention the speedometer stopped working as well
