That would be nice. See how much this will be and then check on that.

I am going to the machine shop to check clearances for an aluminum steering rack that I am having built. How many people would be interested if the price was reasonable? What do you consider reasonable? I don't have a quote yet and I don't have a minimum quantity yet. I am not trying to make a profit. I just don't want to take a loss either. If they are $15 a piece and I have to get a 100, I would need some presales. Like I said I have no idea the price yet. I would charge the piece price plus shipping if it goes through.
I looked into getting woven CF battery straps made a while back, and for 50 of those the best price was $22 each. I have a feeling those racks are going to be $50 a piece, at least.

I have his shock towers and they are great. He is getting a motorplate for me also. We race at the same track and nobody has broken one of his shock towers here yet

I broke one stock rear tower, but that quad at mikes is a killer. I now have 2 diggity rear towers sandwiched, and I recessed the rear one to wrap around the bulkhead. I have 1 diggity tower on the front. The second rb5 I just picked up has a diggty on the front as well, but stock rear. Which I think ill just leave it since I have plenty of spares.

it's not the driving. it's the way that the car comes down wrong off of a jump. on the old track we had a dead mans curve that just hammered peoples cars. either front or rear arms would go and in my case slightly hitting that corner would crack or break the steering rack. the new track has been up since monday and i have already gone thru a rack. i came down on the front right tire and there it went. nothing about driving.

Yea, i know what you mean. sideways on the front wheels owns the rack.

it wasn't completely side ways. i just landed on that one wheel and crack it went. i didn't even know till i tried coming off of the other jump and turning and ran into the wall straight ahead.
So whoever can design, make, or get made some better racks let me know and i'm all in for it.
