Thx for that answer

Only thong i can think of lokin at this is
Who will add the first fully independet suspension to a raptor first

Or is a stif axle better for its purpose ??
Or is it more limited travel??


Awsume build

Full independent would be interesting, but a s@#t ton of work. it would be difficult to net the same about of wheel travel as you can with a solid rear end. Then you have issues like CV angles and a whole bunch of other stuff that most wouldn't want to deal with.

Yep,

Me, Sean and Paul have been going like mad on this thing. The timing is good though because we are waiting on the other two trucks tubes to show up from laser.

I expect to have a bonus Tuesday ! I will work through the weekend if I have too!

 

[RPG]

Well Sunday is in the books and tomorrow is the last day we have to get the final misc stuff in this beast. Baring anything crazy we are on schedule to have this thing fully operating tomorrow night and ready to go testing on Tuesday.

As long as everything goes good on Tuesday, the owner of the truck will head to Mexico to go pre-run the 1000 with legendary trophy truck drivers Ed Herbst and Mark Post. The cool thing about this little group is all three Raptors were built by RPG. Both Herbst and Post are running Stage 4+ setups and will most definitely put the trucks through hell and back while down in Mexico.
