Fastlane machine

[1BaddMudderTrucker]

I've been talking with Fastlane Machine about make aluminium parts for my firehammer. They asked if anyone else would be interested so they can make production parts to lessen the cost. If there is a big enough demand it may be possible to have parts milled here in the good old USA. let me know and I'll get some more info.

Firehammer MT or buggy? :helpsmilie:

I have The Firehammer MT which I finally got to drive today. What are the major diffs between the truck and the buggy I'm curious. I suppose both if the demand is high enough, and the parts are somewhat interchangeable, but the big issue is satisfying the demand.

Nutech has arms out for the Firehammer MT. There are other alloy parts here:

I've never used Nutech parts, but I'm guessing they are probably as good as anything else out there. I would drop them a line through their web site.

Here's Hobbythek that has good parts too:

Well I have a set of motor mounts on order, but I would have preferred to get them from someone in the U.S. I wouldn't mind a set of beefier dogbones, and drive cups. What are they looking to make?

I would too, but Duratrax no longer sells the Firehammer or MT.

I told them that I was interested in drivetrain parts, but they can make just about anything you want they also have a basher warranty, if you break it they replace it for half the price. Getting a large enough group together to warrant them making the parts is what I'm after. they will make you parts regardless, but the more people I have wanting those parts the cheaper they will be. As for rc-car-online do they have a conversion for there prices

 

[csp1971]

Just open up google and type this in the search: 59(or whatever the price is) eur to dollars

It'll give you a fairly accurate conversion.

try www.xe.com

Hey Muddertrucker, have you heard anything more about this? I was just kind of thinking a set of alloy bulks would be nice to have. I still haven't received my motor mounts so this would be a better option too. FLM has a great reputation, and I wouldn't mind buying stuff from them.
