Control arm tube inserts milled to suit ready for glue:[attachment=3][attachment=4]
RCV issues? Keep us informed as I am very very jealous and want some in my jeep if anyone will buy my children for a reasonable price.

If you are using two batteries and your car is 12V then one battery will be getting used more than the other and in turn this will discharge the other battery. Unless your 24V system is switched in only when required?
well its been a wile so I tought I 'd best post somet up ere. As you all probably know I tried my best at KOV and started 4 out of 5 laps albeit never finisin any of tem. In reality the truck wasn't exactly ready and since then I have been ironing out the problems, tweekin here and adjusting there. one issue I had at kov, probably due to a time constraint was the lack of power to either winches. As it was and I have only just got them working on 24v today I was thwarted by 2 problems. the first on the front winc was that as it is mounted back to front, no-one told me tat one of the winch bolt holes is not blind like the rest of them and so when you wind in a long coachbolt it inadvertently winds in to the main gear and locks it solid so no matter tat i tried to can te 24v systenm and run it on 12v it still wouldnt friggin work The next problem I ave foiund today is tat one of my batteries in the 24v pair(in series) is U/S and altough it says it has 13v as soon as its under load it drops to 0v.Another issue I found at KOV was tat when cornerin at speed wit te new airshocks the truck tended to lean over a hell of alot and sometimes i thought we were gonna roll off into oblivion anyow, Dave Cole from Ultra 4 racin told me tat in te USA what they do to get round this is to block off one of the bleed holes, so today finally I ave had every shock off in turn, and tapped and threadlocked a machine screw in one of the bleed screws, havin taken it for a burn round the block, it definitly seems more steady goin round corners and roundabouts, I ave also reduced the amount of oil in them, goin back to stock, (for a softer spring rate) and increasin the nitrogen charge to keep the same ride height.Cheapfest was really only my 2nd proppa go with it and I was impressed once again with its traction and articulation. I was hoping CB would post some vid up of me at the axle twistery bit in the furthest bit of wood :-)

Unless your 24V system is switched in only when required? should have mentioned, I have a seperate 24v system with its own alternator solely for the winches. this is wired through a charge lamp and a 12v (switched side )relay can't remember the exact wiring but it uses B+ and D+ off the 24v alternator and the light goes out when there is 24v goin to it up the neggy
