Open the image up in paint, click on stretch and skew. Then just reduce the horizontal and vertical measurements to about 50% or so. Then just save it and try it again.

looks Very good. my imput on the next mod would be a nice fat bar and clamp setup and an axle because i dont hear to many good things about rear wheel spacers. i really like the color scheme

Ya i just bought the spacers to try and see and to save some time until i need to get an axel. I dont really know how the rims and spacers are gonna hold up because i just got done with it. I am gonna take it to haspin this weekend and see how it handles but i dont have a race until the 25th. I think the rims will hold up fine but im not sure about the spacers i think i should have went with some smaller ones these are 2.5" each. Thanks for the input guys.

the spacers are just in the rear right? in which case they are not causing any more stress on bearings than an aftermarket axle simple physics. Now those wide offset wheels in the front are causing extra wear and tear

How well do you like the full flight a-arms?

Well i havent had much time to test them out as much as i would have liked due to all the rain, but so far so good. They look good and they seem to hold up just fine. The heim joints are a little squeeky but nothing a little oil cant fix. They also are a little cheaper than most brand names and they have a lifetime warranty. If you dont care about having the brand names then i would recommend the fullflights. Ebay has good deals on them.

Clean build man, looks really nice, color combination looks good too. I would def. go with bars and stem w/clamp next, and I agree that the spacers gotta go.

Sweet quad man, let us know how it does.
