Although the aluminum steering arm thing is on hold.....(thank you for your patiance)
I will try to redeem myself with a retrofit to help with the sterring arm issue.
Looking to see if we can convert to a ball joint type steering. (like on a REVO)

Parts consists of upper/lower control arms, ball joint type steering nuckles, and new gear box's front and rear.
Not sure if it will work ( according to my guy in china, it will or can be done ) and I could still use a lab rat or two from the selected people on this tread. Currently I only have the conversion parts for the Volcano but Tornado parts are coming soon.
So, lab rats must have a Volcano

I see ehroof has a Volcano.... what do you say ehroof??? I can provide the parts, you think you can make it work?
I would try it myself but don't have much time now a days and it does take some now how.

Let me know ehroof, it's in your capable hands..if you want to try

P.S. Don't forget guys, gals & everything in between, this is a retrofit we are trying to do. I'm not sure if it will work... I already feel bad enough about the aluminum steering arms being delayed or on hold for now but we are trying.

so mail me a set, i'll get some of my people to work on them.

ok....

I'll send the parts out.

Cartronics & ehroof, when you receive the parts pls post your results here.

Thanx

Mark

you got it

BTW.... what be an ehroof???

eh is my name Eddie H. and roof is what i do (roofing) now its actually more all contracting, mostly interiors. My aol screen name is ehroof so i use it for everything.

I see... cool.

I'm always curious about these user names. Very funny sometimes [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

i would definetly try this retrofit let me when its available or is u want me 2 be the ginnypig

Sorry shlo25,

This retrofit consists of a few parts and it gets costly.

Upper/Lower arms front and back.
F & R gearbox's
all new sterring knukles and rear hub with ball joints.

Got 2 guys gonna try this out already. If they are successfull, we will sell it as a kit.

Mark

that is what the new volcano sv is going to have in it correct

that be correct... I did not want to spoil it but I saw pictures floating around here from someone[sm=surprised.gif]

Mark

This might be a stupid question... But what exactly is the benifit of this type of suspension?

it seems to me that all the forces that might be applied are more distributed, so there is less stress on different parts.... just a guess

I will answer that when i get it and get it on.

Well, this is the same way my REVO is set up and I never broke a steering arm on it and it handles bad ***ss!!

Mark

Yeah, but my Revo broke a few suspension arms[&:]

of course, since the Volcano is significantly lighter than the Revo...we shouldn't have that problem:P

I'm really interested to see how this turns out

we'll find out as soon as they get here

hey mark, just want to let you know i got the package today, will fool with it after diner if i get a chance,

Wow!! no sh....t ? I just sent them Saturday.


Mark

yeah, better than fedex and cheaper.

cool, let us know how it works out.

Mark

wow, box of parts, mark do you have a picture of how this is supposed to look???

nOPe... That's why I sent the parts to the experts.

All we have is this pic...

Mark
