Be careful starting up from standing stops, don't want to snap the rear axle shafts. I broke both rear axle shafts, one I got a replacement from from friends in Canada, one I had a new one made which is rated for 800 hp made by a company that builds axles for race cars.

Thanks for the update on your project, great work.

Cheers Phil
I needed a little boost since the project is stalling and frustrating me to the sealing.
We just had a short run, after 2 years the engine kicked in after the first start.
I don't have the drivetrain installed yet so only a engine run

Recently purchased a lot of parts including 2 sets of axle shafts, but also 2 engines with gearbox drivetrain axles lots of small parts.
