2006 Race Blaster build
- Thread starter goodman24x

Thank you, I think you and I may have been talking thru pm's on the exrider forum????
My son is sponsored thru ChassisIncFab. Go to Chassis Inc - Frames for Quads and contact Lew for pricing. These are a one off custom build which he now has the jig for. They are chromoly and he only uses the strongest heims available. I didnt want to go +5 like the snyder motorsports because you are forced to go with a 4/1 offset rim. I asked him to build me +4+1 and here they are...
The travel is really unbelievable, I havent measured yet, but when I do I will post.
why didnt he go with a longer shock tho?
there technically not LT (they look like stock length shocks?)
i mean the wheel travel is more, but any longer a-arm will do that

I never said they were LT, I said MGC(Max Ground CLearance)
He built the arms to the shocks I had.
They are std length elkas. The reason I didnt go with LT shocks is because I bought these stage 4 elkas(all 3) like new for $600 from a guy who apparently didnt know what he had or was just plain loaded. They were also already setup and sprung for my sons weight...
Retail price on a new set of stage 4's is over $2600.
I spent the other money on everything else I will need....

good deal
i did the same, except i bought YFZ elkas because the blasters were way to short
id like a set of these, but theyd have to take a 16.5 inch shock
ChassisInc is in Oregon, call Lew his # is on the site and he will be able to easily change the jig to accept your shocks.
he also supplies the tie rods with heim joints as well, not the cheap ball joints like some manufacturers. He only makes the good stuff.
my buddy and I are gonna build the first one and hope for the best. If we suck at it I will be sending it to someone from this site. I feel good about it, but this is our first blaster build so we will see, hope to put the motor in the quad this weekend and I promise a ride report and possibly video if possible.
