SMW Shop / My NEW Hobby

[C*H*U*D]

Flat tie rods have been around for awhile. I've had one for about 4 years now.

I just don't like how "copying" gets thrown around on here so easily :-)

I have a old carbon fiber clodbuster race chassis that uses flat tie rods, they have been around longer then rcc. They are great being that they are very low profile, do not twist, or loose adjustment. But at the same time, your toe angle is fixed.

No idea who sold the first flat tierod, don't actually care either. But KC_Jones sold one around 2011. For BTA on OG AX10 axles with VP Zero A. knuckles.

No one has mentioned the killer, I think printed rear rings with included stand offs.

Congrats Rob! You've got a few more weeks before I'll be hitting you up for some skids, hope you'll be ready.

Thanks. I've already started looking at more equipment!

It sounds like you are on her side. The two car would be nice because there's plumbing.

Well I am fairly sure that this is the first flat tie rod that was 3D printed in continuous carbon fiber. It also has the same pivot pockets as a revo rod end allowing the balls to snap into place. That being said, the next version will pivot on ball bearings. I wonder who did that first!

Thanks. I hope so too!

[snapon boy]

In the vendor section under chassis and t cases.

You don't know that until you buy his parts and build a rig to put them on!

[TANK]

You are 100% wrong. All of these parts are certified shelf hold downs.

Not anymore, to quote Rockcad,"I can't drive out of a wet paper bag".

[rob_b]

As long as it's the top shelf I'm fine with that.

[travis c.]

That^ was a good one!

[TANK]

travis how many more chump chassis you got laying around?

[rob_b]

I have a carbon one sitting on my desk. Makes for a crappy paperweight but if you really want it...

[TANK]

I PM'd you.

Well stated seems there have been a lot of people really beating down on the vendor's lately, and it's not needed and it's a no wonder why the vendors have been responding the way they are.

I don't think people understand how much work it takes to be a vendor... I chose not to renew my star because sales had slumped to 1 in like... 3 months... and also for time reasons. Heck I mean it isn't like we just order stuff from McMc and have it sent to your door... someone had to make the screw pack, find someone to make the parts (or do it themselves) and so on. So yeah mini rant over but before people try and diss being a vendor, try it for yourself. It isn't as easy as it seems

Rant aside I think there's some pretty killer stuff going on here that maybe shaking things up a little bit

TANK is an old buddy, he's just joking around.
