    Yeah, He definetly did make try to make it seem like he didnt make it a big deal. After this, Im not a BJ fan, hes such a little cry baby. And now the video surfaced of him supposedly cheating.. Vildosola said they went after him because he was a being a bitch.
    EDIT:
    From Vildosola's facebook
    "Good morning all. Just wanted to let you know that my point to sharing this video with you wasn't for everyone to be criticizing who is the most crybaby, etc. But if in this race we are being judged by the rules then everyone should be judged equally. We know that disqualifying BJ will not get us our 1st place back, but if we were penalized because someone thought we broke the rules, then all who break rules should receive the same action. WE JUST WANT EQUAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE RULES.
    Like BJ said in his interview, all we want is for the right thing to be done and for the righteous winner to get the trophy. BJ made his effort to tarnish our name and credibility in the racing world and successfully did to a certain extent but we will not give up. In the end our objective is not to taint anyone's name as a racer but all we ask for is for the rules to be enforced."
    YESS! Was waiting for this, No problem man! Cant wait to see the finnished product. :popcorn:

    yeah same truck

    Question: Was talking to Jberry about this earlier, just wanted to see everyone elses opinon. For a leaf sprung truck, which is more beneficial for high-speed/trail running? Up-travel or down travel?

    But that question is not easy to answer because of many variables.

    Uptravel. So you have that much more down travel to bounce back for traction.

    what's the whole point of relocating the leafs under the axle?

    to gain up travel.

    this, i think.
    isn't the point to gain travel while keeping a lower center of gravity so the truck doesn't become tippy at speed?

    any of you know if there is a way to adapt a nitrogen paintball tank to take a standard regulator that you'd use on a shock charging setup. this wasn't really a thought when i was looking at piecing together a kit, but then a friend offered to give me a tank he doesn't use, so i figure i'd look into it. I gues i'm really just looking for an adapter that changes the paintball style output to a standard tank output.

    I'm not a paintballer, but i looked around and it used to be all CO2, but they've been transitioning over to nitrogen. the tank he has is nitrogen speciffic (i don't know what to true difference is)


    i'm thinking this may be what i need. can anyone with their own kit verify if this will work?

    I would think for safety purposes a nitrogen tank is a nitrogen tank. Like you said it should just be the adapters on the tank that made it paintball specific. Look on polyperformance they have schrader fill kits and see if the fitting look like yours

    I know they make a lot of adapters and such for paintball tanks in the aquarium industry, it's all for Co2 but most of the parts are the same
