We are making some changes to the original rear truss design so that it will work with all of the after market goddies out there. We are also going to add provisions for a standard triangulated 4-link rear for people who prefer that over the panhard links.

Got a chance to drive it tonight after I pried the radio from ^^^ hand's. It's such a predictable rig!! Forgiving too. There were a few obstacles that I was able to drive out of that I don't think would have been possible with other rigs I've driven. Needless to say I can't wait to make many more for all you guys.

Only question is...Titanium or Steel???

X2 I will happily pay extra for a titanium chassis. It would weigh nothing.

steel works just fine, keep the prices down.

Walk into Wal-Mart and see what people prefer... lower prices.

would be cool to see it done, but I would imagine it would not be cheap to say the least. maybe a "special edition" or something.

did you get my pm's about the ax-10?

dezfan · 12-17-2007, 06:28 PM

I watched this rig in OK and it seemed to be extremely capable.

I can't wait to pick one up for my personal use.

The 2.2 hustlers are all built by me one at a time. It takes alot of work to build them that is why the are still $329.99. The special addition super hustlers are being mass produced and that gets the cost down.

Hey Aaron,

There is a waterfall here locally that guys have been trying conquer for a couple of months now.

Guess what made it and named it first time out?

I haven't even finished tuning the suspension yet. In Fact, that way I had it set when it cleard the obstacle in my opinion was not as good as I had it set prior to going out there.

caddyshack · 12-18-2007, 10:20 AM

looks good to me

I want steel over titanium...if I have the ability to chime in.

Titanium has a share of problems you all seem to forget, cost not being only reason.
