Vertical Smile INFORMATION

[Double J]

This is a public notice. I'll also add this to my Double J products page.

1st the reason: After reading what Frankyrizzo said about my chassis I sent him another and it was still not to par. Thats cool I like the feedback and makes me make a better product.
Frankrizzo will also be doing testing on all new products that I may come out with cause I like the fine tooth comb he went through my chassis with. Well I addressed the issues.

1. The 1st chassis looked like crap and after he sent it back, I couldn't beleive I sent that POS to someone. It was horible looking.

2. The second chassis was out of alignment. I basically cut the delrin skid crooked. measured the braces and they were OK.

This is what is going on with everyones VS chassis that were ordered during my sale.

I have addressed the issues and will not send one out until they are addressed.
This is what I've done. I ordered precut skids and braces to match. The braces will now be delrin as well as the skid.

the sizes that will be cut are these sizes (except custom widths I'll cut those but with better tools) 2", 2.5", 2.75" and 3". The end chassis will have an outer width 1/4 wider than that listed (1/8" for each chassis plate).

I ordered these last week like around Monday they were suppose to be here yesterday and haven't arrived. Talked to the company today and told them I have customers waiting and need them ASAP I was told I should have them in 2 to 4 days they are in WA and if I have to drive I will.

This is the delay for the chassis'. I'll send them all out including a new one to Frankyrizzo. If there are anyother problems I need to know and address them asap. So let me know if you have a problem.

I will also be Powder coating every chassis that I make unless you want bare metal, any bare metal chassis will be polished this take time and I've only done 1 that has been polished (for moab), My prices will reflect this change but not by much as I still want to have the least expensive chassis available for those on a budget. (Oh I'm not that good at polishing so it will be done by another person)

On to other products and changes.

I will not sell Safety Silv as I had no interest only 2 or 3 PM's that never followed through. And the prices went up on me.

Tubers will now start at $180 because of price increases.

4 links will increase by a couple of dollars.

TLT Servo/upper link mounts will be available soon, They are being machined as we speak.

I'm going to be selling a Goose neck tandom axle trailer. This is scaled from a 1/1 to a 1/8 scale this is over 3' long. Microgoat and Unimog have been helping me out on this.
It will be made of 1/2" square tubeing and I'll have a the 1st one ready in a week. I first wanted it to be made of aluminum and CNCed but the price was just to great. Unimog may be making some plates to go with the trailer for the BB-51 chassis we are still working out the details. Once the prototype is done I'll send it to him and he'll decide what he wants to do with it.
I'll also be making a normal single axle, bumper hitch trailer It will be about 3 weeks for a prototype.


Thanks for reading.. Again I'll post this in the Vendor section as well, so if the MOD's could leave it for everytone to see, I'd appreciate it.

Wow. Thats some 'nice to know' info. I can't wait to see this trailer. Good luck!

[Double J]

The gooseneck blueprints have been floating around for a while now. If you search trailer you'll probably see it.

Also for got to mention anyone that has a VS and would like to have it Powder coated can send it to me. I'll get it done in one of the following colors, black, gray, blue, red or shocker yellow for the price of shipping it to and from cause I'll be eating the PC price.

I'm looking forward to my VS, I dont think I've seen anyone back their product so strongly, its awsome to know your detication to a quality product. I was sold on it after reading Microgoats post on the prototypes. I think his quote was "The chassis itself has no issues, and its burly as fawk"

[CreepyCrawler88]

Wow very cool of you to "man" up to a problem. Lookinf forward to the trailers!!

[Double J]

Thanks guys I really want to have a competive chassis and if there is problems then it won't be. May next year I will have some chassis' competing in Moab
I'd like to thank Frankyrizzo for being so maticulas(sp) when looking at my chassis and pointing out the negatives.

[Double J]

Also on my Crawler Balls
My materials are on back order and should be here soon.

[Double J]

For anyone that didn't see it..

[Cloak]

Dang about the Safety Silv. I bought some locally and couldn't believe how pricey it was. I was thinking of buying some from you soon too.

[Double J]

Mind letting me know how much?

[Cloak]

Airgas had it for like $30-32 for 1oz.

If you still have it available to you for a decent price, let me know. I might grab a few ozs from you while (if) I can.

[Double J]

I pay about $23 so once its shipped it would end up about the same amount.

Thanks for the info.

AirGas = butreaming.......and no kiss first........normally twice the price of things elsewhere

[dieselfuel]

yeah i never wanted to say anything and stir up the ****, but rizzo showed me everything he got you from you. i cant say that i was impressed, but im holding it up to the standards of my SW2 and NN...

i think its really cool that you're making efforts to improve your product.

[FrankyRizzo]

Two thumbs up.

Glad to see that I can be of help. I have faith that you will produce great products.

[Double J]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I think it will be top notch as well.
