that seems a little stiff for a TTB rig, but I've never seen valving for one in real life. Very curious how it'll work out for you, and filthy knows what they're doing
300/300 was light from what i saw on most builds. Ben went a little softer n valved it for it i believe. Ttb has such a moment that the multiplier is like 1.6-1.7

Got it all welded up.



Did some CAD work, Cardboard aided design! Drew a 3" circle as a reference so I could take a picture of this, clean it up and scale it to size in autocad to print on the cnc.

Got my bumps mounted and started on the Single Swing steering, stretching the axle put the steering box in a prime spot.

After getting the swing steering mocked, I wanted to get rid of that major bend. Im gonna put the drive steering arm behind everything and get it to work and save room.

My safe way of moving it at the time haha.


Got a Rx7 radiator for free with a built in dual fan setup. So since this rad lays flat, I had to weld up an orifice and weld a neck onto the top.





And then came the trolling. What the b2 is really known for haha.




building my mounts for the rad.


Had to shrink some metal haha.
