Default Custom Backbone lengths for TheCrawlerStore Stick Chassis Kits

Do you offer different backbone lengths? I want something that is 18", and not some knockoff stick! If it would bolt right in to my stick, that would be pretty awsome Whaddya say Kevin?

X2. I think that would be a great option. How about it?

It's in the works guys. We have a 12.5" wheelbase backbone "re-tested" already. Just waiting for the new jig to be finished. Then we can do some different lengths. Not sure of the price on custom length backbones and kits yet. I'll post any new info here.

I just purchased a new Stick Chassis as well... paypaled from paintballalien1@charter.net (You get lots of my money! :-P )

If you want to test out a new 18" backbone on my kit I'd be thrilled!

I think clods are going to start winning more 2.2 Comps.

Thanks for your order. I'll keep this thread updated so you'll know when we can make that 18" wheelbase backbone for you.

I'm not sure of the final price yet for the 2.2 version. It will either be the same price as the 16" wheelbase version or slightly less.

I'll post up when we can do custom lengths. When I do just let me know and we'll whip one up for you.

Happy New Year guys. I just wanted to post up an update. Morrison is making the new jig as a favor and has a newborn and a new house so his time is limited. I spoke with him this weekend and he's really not sure when he'll be done with it. Sorry about the delay guys. I'll continue to post any updates here.

Again, sorry about the long delay on these. Our jig to produce backbones is made for the 16" wheelbase trucks only. I just ordered a bunch of tube that will be in sometime this week. Then it will go off to Morrison to get machined on a mill instead of waiting for the better jig to be made up.
