Is that for a rebuild or a recon box?

hmm.. sound a bit high, but if thats a rebuild with ALL new internal parts then... I guess you might end up paying that much....

you what!?
Im guessing you were saying the wheels are too big and are straining the gearbox?
Please try to refrain from using 'txt' talk. It takes double the time to try and work out what youve said!

Andy - you need to upload the photo to a service like flickr, imageshack or photobucket, then put the URL of the img inbetween [img]and[/img]
That link is the location on your home pc

does your suspension work with such big wheels? Or does the body bounce off the tyres :p
