Has plenty of motor. Momentum is key with a beamed truck so holding speed is no issue. It just depends on how fast you want to get to speed. And I want faster. This things gonna be really fun with boost.

I was gonna take this weekend off from the dunes, but an event called "Hero's On the Dunes" is taking place Saturday. The event brings Veterans and their family's to the dunes and then has vehicles give veterans rides in the dunes. So Papa Smurf will be giving some deserving rides this weekend.

Yes there is an o-ring groove behind the lip to hopefully seal off the hub.

With 3 trips on it now I want to take my hubs apart and see if anything is getting past. Hopefully not because I made them a light slip fit and then has the o-ring.
 
Did you block the backside? I've heard of dirt or water finding its way in through there too.

Not yet. Other reason I need to tear them apart haha. Once I tear them apart I'll bring spindles into work and make plugs for the back side to press in
