trickedcarbine

I owe a great amount of gratitude to HP2K. Over the years I have bought parts here and there and they are always as described or better, and shipped promptly. More recently HP had found me a 10 mil cheetah The seller wanted a local cash sale only, so HP drove 4-5 hours to pick it up and drove 4-5 hours home to pack it and ship it. I can not express how helpful HP has been in making sure this happened for me and I must say that for a fella I only know on a forum, he is a solid friend. Thank you HP2K

^Negative.

Haha

A rare sighting^

Anything but ModQuad

Depends how it's set up. Who did the motor work?

When you make the swing arm longer it creates more leverage on the spring. Kinda like using a 24" crow bar vs a 36" crow bar. Far more leverage. Similar principal.

Fireball all around. Shocks, I'd go with Fox Floats or Elkas for what you're doing. Nice AMG.

Gross

170-172ish on a 10 mil race gas cub a did last summer.

Take that O ring off all together. Just use the C clip in that groove.

^ that.

What kind of porting? Is there a spacer to make the crank work, or are the domes in the head cut to take the stroke?

Should be ok.

Are you running angled pod filters?

Any porting?

Because the serval trumps it in just about every aspect.

Roll arms are $1200+.

Well... Fuck. Anyone looking for a set of decent Big Bore Shearers?

Are yours the larger stinger option? If so, I'll pay ya handsomely to rent them for a brief period.

All the dome's for that serval top end?

Arlen is doing the super serval and we are just waiting on the frame so I can send it all out there at once and do the pipes. The 535 is a kind of spur of the moment purchase that came up this week. I was talking with HP2000 and was gonna buy a 485 cheetah for a back up motor, and to get going this season. He sold his before I got back from out of town, and pointed me toward a 535 cheetah. I wired him the money and he went and picked it up for me last night.

Same here. I have spoke with over a dozen chassis fab guys in the last year and getting guys to budge has been tricky. People keep saying money buys pretty much any thing, but there are some guys who have been there, done that, and know what works for their business model and what doesn't. The smart ones have figured it out and try their hardest to not deviate. Some times chasing that extra few hundred dollars turns in to a nightmare. So I get it.

How bout shop overhead? Utilities, rent, insurance, and equipment cost. The list goes on and on. It's a fucked up world for a small business owner.
