  1. Great movie! :thumbsup:
  2. I have had a few of them and you cannot buy a better ally axle. Get the gun drilled hillshooter as they are more resistant to bend than the solid axles (which is contrary to intuition). I reccomend getting the axle straight from JJ&A. They have website you can find by googling it.
  3. I don't believe there is such thing as an 11mil crank or cylinders out there..............It's eith a 10mil, 12mil, or simply BS. DASA made the T-Rex cylinders and licensed them out to a few folks such FMF back in the day. Parts can sometimes be hard to get such as head hardware and sleeves. However, DASA still has all the stuff. IMO the T-Rex is a dated cylinder design and a more current CP (Cheetah, Cub, etc.) or Twister can be had for the same money.
  4. You make fun of the cock, but you sure seem to like it............. :ermm:
  5. If these guys don't take them I will. PM Me your Paypal. :thumbsup:
  6. If you don't want to wheelie on that stock arm, you probably need to be looking at some 8 or 9 paddle Haulers.
  7. I heard Team Dick was mostly made up of a bunch of pet cocks......................., but that's just what I heard. Maybe Dave can fill us in on the real story. :biggrin:
  8. The Team Richards thing in your sig is too big............. You should shorten it to Team Dick or Team Dicks. I am not sure which is funnier. :yelrotflmao:
  9. He apparently doesn't think my bikes are worth putting into a banner. :sweat:
  10. I think that's why they invented digital cameras and email............. Needless to say that's what I voted for. Otherwise, I think they will get the engine in, but without a turbo. :geek:
  11. I don't believe Louie is doing the design of the frames in questions, using that green bike as an example. I know who is though........... :wink:
  12. A couple offers, but no cash so far............. How about $60 + shipping? :geek:
  13. It says 20" on the carcass. I am not sure how Skat Trak advertises their tires.......... It may be that a 21" Sktat Trak Hauler is built on a 20" Cheng Shin carcass. These came on a bike I recently obtained that had a relatively stock engine. It turned them without trouble, but I think it would have been better off with less paddles. IMO these tires would be good for a 60-70hp engine. :thumbsup:
  14. Mine is actually a good bit away from my exhaust, even though that picture doesn't show it. I'll see if I can find a better picture. :cool:
  15. It's very nice. I can't get it to do anything wrong, no matter what. :thumbsup:
  16. Kevin is probably using a Motec ECM. Atleast that was the last thing he was into the last time I talked to him about it. I was supposed to hook him up with a skool mate from PE, but I think I wnaked out and forgot.......... :sweat:
  17. Weird, mine is where it's supposed to be mounted via their instructions. I didn't realize they wanted it in two different locations.
  18. My $.02 is that there may be a preformance increase, but your reed petals will not live very long. :geek:
  19. I couldn't have said it better myself............... Dave, I hate your signature. I may need to come up with something more annoying. :ermm:
  20. That all comes back to the heat treatment of the alloy you can get some really soft 7075. I suspect Calvin's cylinders are made out of some type of Tenzalloy. OEM cynlinders are probably some nippon variant of 5000 series ally. :geek:
  21. I hear they are a direct bolt in dome that gives you 150hp on a 65mm bore engine. :biggrin:
  22. Both of those prices are pretty reasonable. If I were making domes for myself, I would upgrade to 7075 at those prices. I sware I have seen some folk's domes that looked and felt like they were forged from recycled pop cans.
  23. 7075 chips quite differently as well depending on the heat process you have on the given alloy, especially when turned. :thumbsup:
  24. 7075 is probably overkill, since a commercial available dome is sort of a wear item. 6061 T4 is not something I would use unless I was planning on have some other posttreatment done to it after machining. Possibly a 7000 series alloy would be an ideal candidate, but I think most of it is too expensive. I haven't kept up on raw material prices for a bit. What does 7075 cost per pound these days? :geek:
  25. Here's where it goes:
