That should help your departure angle. Digging the new setup and truss. But why the chop?

Thanks. I have been wanting to shorten it up for a while now just finally did it. Its so long on the trails and Im constantly hitting stuff. Also the fender openings were all bent out of wack because of trees etc. Those bed sides lose a lot of support when you cut all the insides off them.

So Ive spent the last four days messing around with a stupid Taurus efan that won't work. So I bought a new Taurus efan motor and this wiring kit.

Nice! Looks like some nice products for a pretty good price. I might have to try their dual fan kit for the intrepid fans I have.
