Hey!

Me again, finally got my exhaust will fit that this weekend, I also found a used prop of facebook so we will see how that goes but it was nice and cheap, the plan is to fit the new prop test it, if it is good, then while running this one work on reconning my current one which has been cooked after towing a 2 tonne car for 150 miles in RWD by accident... My bad, but with the gearbox replaced now after shredding it to bits I can work on fitting the new exhaust and brand-new second hand prop.

Anyway! The Juice of this topic, I hear VCU's lasting between 40k and 120k but really not sure on use case, because I assume that is for just general day to day road driving, however, I got this car to use it as a cheap offroad car, so just a thought whether the use case of off roading / greenlaning / overlanding whatever you call it, would that put more stress on the VCU going up more hills and over rocks or less as it is always quite slow and steady so it shouldn't overheat as much, don't even get me started on the rivers acting as passive cooling 😂 Just wondering trying to get an idea of how long they would last roughly between changes (Will recon both myself eventually so I can just keep swapping them out)

Appreciate all the thoughts!
