Del Monte's Secret Agent build

[stelerzman]

Great build Jake, good luck at Nat's.
Any chance you could post you F/R sock length and the belly clearance of the SA? F/R would be great.
It would really give some starting points. Thanks.

[Del Monte]

Here you go

Front shocks = 90mm eye to eye
Rear shocks 80mm eye to eye

Full droop = 3.3" at the front of the skid
Full compression = 1.9" at the front of the skid

Its pretty low compared to most XR's in competition, but the forward bias helps it up and over breakovers pretty easily.

I also got a set of VP Wraith knuckles installed tonight. Now I can max out the stock axle shafts... with room for much more.

Thats some tilt!

Some more angles of the steering setup? What arms are on the knuckles?

Looks amazing

[HARDKNOCKZ]

Did you have to adjust you servo to gain more steering?

Same tie rod? Just longer arms?

Jake, a technical question, I'm trying to build my rig JUST like yours. Thanks for sharing so much info, but I need more.

How many mm in length and width is the beard? Do you ever use any wax in the beard to get it extra shiny for high traction courses? If the courses have a lot of break overs to you comb it first?

Thanks

Are you meaning Super 300HD room?

Is it technically just the two arms on the xr knuckle that keep them from going as far as the wraith ones do? I mean if a guy wanted too, could he just cut those two arms off and get as much turning as the wraith knuckles do or is there something else that allows more steering?

How about starting by growing the beard

The steering arms on the XR knuckles bottom out against the axle housing. Since the Wraith knuckles are single shear and you can use different arms, you can play with the positioning of everything to get more clearance.

And I think I have enough room for 300HD's now

Good one.
Thanks for all the info. Amazing steering you have. Any chance we could get a pic's from the front?
How much articulation are you getting F/R? Do you think 7" rear & 6 1/2" front is to much? Thanks for you insight.

I'm pretty sure that you are the driver in this pic and there is no facial hair unless you use invisible shampoo on it

[Hildy]
