i recieved my little gem the other day and have been meaning to get around to doing this. i just wanna post up my initail thoughts and impressions on this piece of unseen scale greatness.
first up out of the package the SS machining is absolutely top notch. its certainly most unfortunate that this peice looks so great but will never be seen once installed.
rick has been talking with me about this project for a while now and that he was gonna try and talk with arb about licensing it. i told him good luck and just have fun with it. once i recieved a pic of the prototype i was blown away. then he told me that arb was fully onboard. to have a full blown company have your back on making a 1/10 replica of their product must feel amazing, esp since he is a one man show and not a mass product company.. HATS OFF TO YA RICK!
anywho on the the good stuff. when this sucker is in your hand.. you know it. its a beefy spool so if you looking to get even more unsprung weight in your axle and have a touch of scale goodness. this spool is for you.
the tolerences are still right there with all the different spools rick has put out... nearly no play in the axle slot. perfect bearing seats and overall fantastic fitment. the included M2 hardware threads in by hand with out problem. i always recomend loctite on any and all driveline components no matter what.
bottom line as far as scale looks, performance, and overall WOW factor. i dont feel any company out there has anything on these spools.
heres some quick pics"thumbsup"
here is all 3 of ricks spools not to include his no slop clamping lockers.
left to right V1 aluminum spool, V2 stainless spool, V3 ARB spool
and here are a few diff pics of the licensed ARB locker. SEXY!!!!
all in all these spools are amazing. here is a link to where you can get yours.
