The goal is to keep it true to Funco philosophy for a duning car that's meant to withstand anything thrown it's way - not a camp queen - I picked up the motor and trans as a package so it made sense to me to refurbish update as needed - The Albins H is a super solid trans made for max abuse, and is in a more reasonable price range versus sequentials. These redos can easily and often turn into money pits - my intention on this build is focus on supplying mechanically what is necessary for "trouble-free" hard duning and a heavy foot driving - a 4 seat dune "track car" Accessories and paint and panels go in and out of style - R&D based revisions/engineering/solutions wont 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
