Looks like a sweet rig. Can't wait to see the price for something like this. Makes me want to wait on trying any other builds. |

Thanks G...here's a couple more pics. I did manage to figure something out about these super narrow wheels on my light weight rig that will increase my traction in a major way without increasing weight Pics of that will be a few days I'm also throwing together a quick vid from todays test & tune time. |

I might have to opt out of the SS and get one of these! Looking good! Just getting my last few pcs together for my build but have yet to get a chassis... any idea how long it will be till these are ready?

Thanks Tanis...that means a lot PD, these are just around to corner...a few last tweaks I think to link lengths and they are ready to go for production. When we give them the release the first batch will ship to be distributed within a week. Here's the quick vid we shot today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEdVZVF5cgg Sorry for the dizzycam...buddy David was new guy on the cam for me today. I know of a few tweaks I'm making and I will post exactly what those are once completed first of the week. |

Ok I thought those might be Vanquish high steer knuckles flipped but now that I look closer they don't like they are! Are they CKRC? They look really good! what's your thoughts on them?

I'm gonna do a body off vid tomorrow so you can more easily see what isn't there and see how well the suspension cycles in detail |

Those skinny ass tires just look so funny. They belong on a mud-truck scaler. Rig looks awesome though Don. |

Here's a MUCH better vid showing it's capabilities and characteristics. Took it today with the help of Aaron the website guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quXGM6MgkcQ jcboof, got your email, got stuck doin taxes and haven't had time to respond...same goes for other emails for the most part. I will catch up, promise Mini, it's just a drag link and a ties rod run behind the axle with CKRC high steer knuckles. With this chassis, aside from knuckles if you want steering, you don't need anything really special for BTA...no shocks JGS, Thanks a ton buddy, right now she weighs in at 4 lbs 4 ounces per the scale today. Seems she gained an ounce somewhere. I'm doing some mods this week shooting for under or right at 4 lbs Nabil...not yet...worried about weight but all you'd have to do is move the torsion rods out on the axles to bring the artic back into reason. PD...check out the new vid...you can easily see the simple BTA. Will get to your email too...sorry guy 2J...laugh all ya wants...I'll run it with ya Thanks man |
