Alrighty then, I must have major issues with the belt cover sealing correctly. I changed out the pulleys and the thing still skips. The power from the Novak 6.5 is probably plenty to get the car to do a wheelie, but it never will because the belt will skip before that happens.The bearing surfaces for the front and rear diff are very much exposed, and I am stunned that running it in Australia (a dust bowl) isn't causing major problems for you, bender. Yeah, it was an ebay buy, but that's really not the root of the problem. I have some threads stripped out on the chassis and changing it out might solve the problem (at a $50 expense). I wish there was a good way to repair the threads, but I tried already by filling them with epoxy and tapping them. No dice. All good to hear everyone put thier ideas on the car in here. Awesome! I didn't catch anyone standing up for the crappy flappy rear brace. You know why!
