Looks like you didnt cut as much out as i said to good job they look good did you flip the a an b like i said?

 

[mfawv]

just got done sipping them. i think they look aggressive.:twisted:

 

[mfawv]

just took the narrowed sedonas out for a test run and they work very well. they are aggressive almost to aggressive. the side lugs hook up too well may have to shave them off or sipe them so there not so aggressive but still are useable."thumbsup"

thanks for the idea brandon."thumbsup"

 

[The Misfit]

yeah yeah

thought i would show how the shock mount work.

the top pic show the adjustment for shock angle with two position options. one at @ 48* and one at @ 45* depending the location of the shock at the axle, whether or not you clock the axles or not.

the bottom one shows the shock length adjustment that allows for two different lengths. the upper two holes are for a 3 3/4 in. shock and the lower two are for a 3 1/2 in. shock, any where in between that is good.

i run a 3 7/8 in. eye to eye in the front. you can try a 4 in. shock but from experience it has not worked out yet, you end up too tall.

if someone does a setup with a 4 in. shock on the F2 and it works let me know i would like to see there setup. I'm talking eye to eye on the shock.

maybe in the future i will add two more holes higher up on the chassis."thumbsup"

Nice job on the sedonas Mike"thumbsup".

The first cut is always the hardest, but after that its a breeze cause you have no choice but to glue them back together:mrgreen:.

i told you those side walls where the spit

 

[mfawv]

just went out to test and this thing is WORKING very well."thumbsup"

checked my shock angle and i'm sitting at 40* in the rear and 44* in the front. i have my rear tubes unclocked with the axle clocked at 26* and the front i have the tubes clocked at 20* and the axle clocked back at @ 2-3*'s for the caster angle.

 

[mfawv]

well, i made another set of narrowed and siped sedonas and these ones turned out better since i had a practice run."thumbsup" my glue job is not that nice .

 

[mfawv]

did a little testing today and im loving the narrowed sedonas.
these things work."thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

P.S. as they break in they get better.:mrgreen:

Those look nice Mike! I dig those hubs too! Yeah, most tires will start to work better when they are worn....

thanks jeremy,
i have never ran a stock sedona so who knows i may not have needed to narrow them but i really did not like the width of stock sedonas.

i have green springs on the rear have you tryed them

i have green springs on the rear have you tryed them

can't say that i have. i run a shorter shock so i use the orange inthe rear and red up front.
