Sorry to hear of your misfortune, really enjoy this thread. What do you think was the cause?

hopefully parts are easier to come by than they are for the Oddy

Thanks Lone, not sure on reason BUT my guess is the savage torque this puts out and poor axles trying to cope on bitumen testing with no differential?
Check this out at around 3:34 mark? You'll see for yaself.

Fully some stuff is around but like the ody pilots not everything. I got lucky and snagged a couple of complete driveshafts from a top bloke in Utah.
They're posted and Bazbound on Saturday

that's cool pic!

nice, but you may want to put on a rear bumper to protect the exhaust for when you wheelie and stand it on the tail.

Managed to put another temp driveshaft on for weekend while still waiting for the 2 spares postal.Currently in Melbourne so should'nt be much longer.
Just another few thousand miles across the Nullabor Desert!
All went well except the F slipped into N on the beach and I thought NOoooo not another one!
But was only the F slipped into the N. I'm sure my VioSport camera base unit in pouch did'nt allow full gearstick engagement into F.
So here's 1st vid heading N from campsite to 2nd dune set.
Have more vids to upload,best vids last one when we went exploring S tracks and their beach accesss,but on return forgot to turn off camera!!!
Was too excited and still in awe...plus it was finally BEER O'Clock!!!

some pics my mate took.

They say sand can be tough on belts/axles when you are running sand paddles tires.

I've never ever seen new grease the color of brown or mud. Grease turns that color when presented with moisture and rust. Clear up those joints and freshly grease.

what are S tracks?

S & N are just south and north.
Sorry gettin lazy lately.

That pic of the buggy and the sunset almost looks photo shopped.
Damn that's beautiful country, and as far as the eye can see --------- nobody around.

I wish we could still wear shorts like that here.

Are they really big socks or are your thigh high boots pulled down?

Aussie's are as strange as the animals.
Yes that does look a bit suspicious.
What's going on there ??

So you computer Clowns are more interested in my Dune Attire than my NytroRevolt?
Ok...so you can finally sleep at night, they're my overboot gators.
I made them for mowing and weed spraying.
Pushed down for mowing then pulled knees up for weed spraying.Have to wear em in the Revolt because all foot pedals not like the Pilots where I just wear thongs.
Oh.......also they have built in flashing neon lights for those late night Dune discos under the Dowunder full moons with locals Sheryl and Shazza......the local bush woolywomen twins!!!
Any more questions?. .....go ahead......make my day!

Oh, we have those here, the girls call them leg warmers.

Inverted cutoff sweatpant legs it looks like... Utilitarian, functional, and boring.

I'd go for something classier, maybe a faux fur



I bet it looks awesome riding around, all swaying in the breeze

I'd avoid the heels though, stay with a flat.

Well still no driveshafts package today.Tracking still shows awaiting clearance in Melbourne since last week.
Was hoping for today at maximum would have been a good birthday present today.
Hopefully something tomorrow.

Happy birthday buddy

Yeah, dude, happy birthday!

Thanks guys.
61 Buggies young today...incl Tax!

Am I the only one who noticed Dirty Harry?

Damn that is a good movie "WELL DO YOU PUNK"

Happy birthday ya old man.

Gee thanks Rich!
Just received the driveshafts package now. woohoo

Both driveshafts replaced with NOS set.

Went to shift my Viosport POV HellCam from my open to closed face helmet and noticed the cable to camera damage WTF?
Then realised it was what the Nytros 90mph ramwind does.
The open face is impossible to keep down and I ended up with bad neck strain last time that felt like whip lash from the WOT (Wide Open Throttle) extended beach runs.

Get rid of that duckbill on the top of your helmet.
Those things are only for the MX dirt bike riders who don't see a lot of high speed wind.
That duckbill will throw your pumpkin around -- a lot.
I have an enclosed helmet and notice my head flop around like a bobble head doll when we open up our oddys on a straight away, and the oddys only do 62 mph.
We don't get the opportunity to open them up very often because of where we ride but when we do it's real noticeable.
