Here is my new gt thunder link. I had no idea that you couldn't run the axis shock with the elka linkage. Yeah I feel stupid. If anyone is looking to get one send me a PM!

I heard that these are the new mxr4's. I was told they have a harder tread compound so they are suposed to last alot longer then the old design. I sure hope this is true because my old one "on now" wore pretty quickly.

I also got a chance to see a used laeger LT front end for really cheap. They said they would take my walsh,axis standard travel front end off my 450r and give me 1,000 dollars store credit for it. With that I could buy this front end along with a few other goods to dress up my 450r a bit. I'm still not sure what front shocks I'll be running. I heard that Dustin Wimmer was just testing a new axis piggy back shock which are suposed to be really nice! I might wait for that to come out.

sweet dude! let me know how that sparks cam compares up to the HRC. i have a Stage II Hotcam. oh yeah...those MXR4's don't last long :ermm:. i've put in about 2 hours of MX practice/race and they're about 75% tread left. i don't want to buy new tires ever 5 hours of riding. they hook up too much in certain areas and are sometimes inconsistent. i think i'm going with a different tire brand. they're $29.95, they last much longer, they slide easier, and they're more consistent. my buddy has a set on his R and he loves them; more than his MXR4's! it seems like everyone is on a crazy buying fringe of MXR4's. i'd definilty try some different tires out. but, you'll probably like them. oh yeah...move to Altoona! haha.

The sparks cam has alot more bottom-mid range power. This thing would really help you pull a good holeshot! I'de say it has atleast the same hit or more that the HRC cam has on top end. Next time you on AIM send me a link to those tires. I'll have to check them out. I might be around your area sometime next weekend looking at houses. That would be like heaven for me. Tons of riding spots and people to ride with!
