I'm back and In todays video I'm fixing all the issues with the rear end of the buggy. The trailing arms have always been a problem as they were using nylon bushings that could develop slop in the rear end. So I'm replacing the bushings with Heim Joints. By using Heim Joints I have some adjustability so I can change the toe in and out of the rear end. I ended up going with between 1.5 - 2 degrees of rear camber, having a little bit of rear camber helps to keep tires level and planted during cornering.

I've had a few people tell me this wouldn't work and I cant recall why, but Id love to hear what you other builders and enthusiasts think about this design.

P.S. Yes, I did end up breaking my toe by dropping an 18lb trailing arm on it Lol
