:rolleyes:
Hopefully the "Warranty for 1 year against cracks" will take care of the cost.

broke lower ball joint, bent tie rod. I'm guessing the tire hit it, still shouldn't have broke. It was like 50 degrees.

Spincr I would think that the warranty would cover that crack! If you need a good price on a replacement I can get you a new set, I got a sponsorship from Maier this year. That sucks you just got that quad back together too!
You didn't hit a tree did you? That's why I stay out of the woods, LOL!

thanks for the offer Chase, just got off the phone with Rocky Mountain, they are going to work with Maier to get my refund. In the meanwhile, had to order new fronts. Hopefully I'll get refunded when I send the cracked fronts back.

didn't hit a tree...lets just say I shouldn't tail people so close:o

So what do you do when your racing? J/K When I ride with all my buddies we ALWAYS ride each others ***. it helps in race applications, less nervous,pushes you harder and generally can make you faster.
Of course if your riding with someone that cant and you got to worry about them hittting you your going to slow.:huh

A-arms seem to be fine, lower ball joint snapped, upper ball joint bent. Just ordered new parts from Izzy@Burgard. I guess they broke where they were supposed to, which is a good thing.

Man, I would love to do that but right now I'm lucky to get out for the day. My new son could pop out anyday now and the boss don't want me traveling very far from home. We'll hook up soon. I won't be riding much during March until the H/M ride if it still holds for the end of March. Hope to see ya there.
