2010 WORCS Project Raptor 250 project quad now in progress

[QuadJunkies]

Since our racing season was off to such a lousy start for 2009 thanks to the wonderful economy, we decided to hit a few WORCS races thats were not so far to drive to and start concentrating for the upcoming 2010 racing season.
We just sold Brandons DRR90 a few weeks ago and are just getting started on the build.Im glad we have todays minis but you have no idea how glad we are to be out of the minis! haha!
We are very excited about this build, I think this one is going to be alot of fun and I cant wait to see it done !
We got several companies on board to participate in this build and will have an article to follow . There will be some never seen goodies on the project quad -Ill post up photos as things move along.
Right now the frame is in Cali. being modified and reinforced. Seems the stock frame isnt holding up for alot of the racers, so we wanted to give it some TLC for all the abuse it will get. lol
then its off to get powdercoated while its down there...
R&D is being done right now on the suspension ,this is what Im excited about the most!!
No pics as of yet, but Ill post up as things move forward so stop by and check out the updates !

Parts have started arriving this week and while I dont have a chassis just yet , Ill still throw up a few photos of some of the goodies that will be going on the quad and why we chose them.

The challenge..
This frame has been such a nightmare for so many and we wanted to try and remedy a few areas,this will not fully fix the chasiss issue but should help considerably over the way it is now being reinforced-not to say that it will be bullet proof, but portions of the frame that have been troublesome are being addressed.
If it falls threw, we will be getting the frame as well. lol

As I was drolling over the plastic, Troy was talking to the guys at Douglas wheels to get a tire and wheel package.

Douglas wheel has been such a smash hit for us over the years that it was a no brainer to chose them as not only our wheel package, but to give a try at there tire line up as well!!!
We will be using MX and XC versions of the tires.

We have a few different tire combos we are going to give a shot.We have a new XC tire that will be arriving in the upcoming weeks as well that has never been ran in the U.S. and we are going to give a rigorous beating in the Desert this fall. They are having some rubber compounds changed before they become avail.
Ill be sure to give some details on how the tire performed in the near future.

Rings will be sent off to get powder coated white at some point but not right away, this way people can see how the product is sold .We wont be doing this until after the articles done.
