you might have had to much stress on it.. when you compress the front suspension down does the chassis touch the table surface?

Yeap the front suspension touches the ground easily when i compress.
Im starting to feel that maybe its the track and the fact that it has hard surface ...was running my x11 all season in other tracks but never broke anything .

also is there any more up travel from this position?

What do you mean by that?

Completely different car. More steering, more pivot into corners and jump was most of the times level.... i like it !!!

Ofcourse i once again had a bad start. I was practicing before the qualifiers and i broke the other crank pivot (and that was it - no other issues). I guess those new beefier pivots are NOT so beefy (and now i ended up using the old ones again). Need to find out how to make them stronger any ideas? Or any other solution?

Want to clear and correct myself. The rockers i was using were NOT the beefy ones(new updated). I was using the solid old ones. Please disregard 2nd paragraph - my mistake. I guess if i was using the beefier ones i wouldnt have breakages!

[niggs98]

yeah just looked at the pics you sent. they are the older hollow ones. xtreme have recently changed the pivots to a solid bottomed version to elimenate the snapping issue so ask for the beefed up version when you order you replacements

i mean when you compress the front suspension and the chassis is touching the ground surface can you still lift up one of the front wheels a little higher when in this position because when the car lands on one wheel in the front it will compress further than when the car is compressed on a table creating more stress on the critical rocker posts.. but it shouldnt matter now as the new beefy ones are night and day difference over the old hollow ones. congrats to xtreme for an excellent improvement over the old ones!


a question that i have for niggs or xtreme. are there going to be new steering arms made for the saddle pack configuration or is it only going to be for the stick pack mod? just curious ? either way great work on the new updates cant wait for things to get worked out for tekin to distribute team xtreme products into the USA.

Will tekin and team xtreme ever join forces?

[migsy]

i'm not sure about joining forces but i think we could say they will do very high quantity's of buisness with each-other.

[t8rtot]

Doing business together and joining forces is the same thing.. regardless of how u like to say it when will Tekin be distributing? Us guys across the pond would love to give it a shot.

[migsy]

for them to work togeather as one they would need to "merge".
i cant see this happening as to much money would be at risk.

2 years ago, i was working for a mobility team in wales. we teamed up with another ferm from bermingham then 6 months later we went under because they took our sales right from under our noses.
i cant name these companies but there are another 48 of them due to go.

could you imagine if xtreme went under because tekin took they sales from under they noses?

please share your comments.

[spenner]

None of the above is going to happen so not much point speculating.... The only real possibility is Tekin may distribute the Predator in the US that is it.

Hope that has cleared it up for you....

[t8rtot]

I apologize if I didn't make that clear. When I refer to the two companies as working together, I'm refering to Tekin becoming the Team Extreme distributor.

[Lowie]

tekin and team Xtreme, I don't see it happening ...
takes too long now.
