Eric, are you guys considering going with something like the Cusco 35f/65r center diff?

pics?

 

Martin is keeping most of what we are doing suspension and drivetrain hush hush right now.

Justin is in the middle of the cage and should be bringing me some pictures of it Friday.

Just curious to how much the rear differential carrier assembly and front axle cross member weigh by themselves.

 

honestly I dont think we have weighed them.

I got word from Justin today that he was running a little behind. He will be in tomorrow with plenty of cage pictures to post up.

HURRAY for the pics cant wait...lol

 

ok, Here are some cage build pictures there are alot but I think all are worth seeing.

i can't wait to see this car finished...so badass

 

seems like it is comming along great! thanks for sharing the build up process. To bad this isn't like spike tv where they have the whole thing built painted and running in 2 shows. lol

 

I think it's looking great. How close to completion is the cage? Obviously those pics are only tack welded but is there more traingulation etc to happen? Not trying to be critical, but the foot plates for the cage seem mighty thin. I fully understand the need to go lightweight, but even with the plate and the body skin that's not a lot of material at the floor mounting points. Is there more there on the underside that I'm just not seeing?

Again, its looking really cool and I'm anxious to see the finished product.

 

I am sure there is more to come since it doesn't even have door bars yet.

 

Yes I'm sure, that's why I was asking. I'm just trying to get an idea of the full design of the cage, although there is some indication from the masking tape mock-up. I'm assuming at the least there will be door bars added, and a harness bar.

 

Why did you guys put the main hoop so far back? Getting it back for more room is obvious but that far back seems like it would hinder the drivers view a decent amount. Just curious.

 

They did it to move the driver back. That helps with weight distribution and also you can feel what the back end of the car is doing better. Another added benefit is that it forces the driver to look ahead a bit better since your short distance forward visibility is taken away a little.

 

Didn't you hear? Their new driver is Shaquille O'Neal.

Instead of time attack, it'll be Shaq Attack!
