Front Axle extenders..... or are they?

[Vertigo Performance]

- Adjustable extenders will allow stock offset or 8mm offset.
- Utilizes stock rear hexes that are removed when you have installed the rear extenders...
- Bearing retainer to keep the bearing from being lost should the axle go awol from the buggy in a hard hit.
- Installation of inner bearing is done with shaft out of vehicle so there is no hassle getting the E clip on. Slide shaft into hub, install outer bearing, hub, pin and wheel. Wheel retains 24mm pin.There may also be a future option of a hex on the 8mm offset for disc brakes for those running Ram-Tech disc brake systems (stock option has the hex)

Make some adapters for fg wheels. But keep the spacing reasonable as the adapters on the market now are no good. They are really only for the monster truck tires. We need adapters for the fg leopard tires and stadium truck tires. I love the fg tires as they are belted and last 100 times better than the @^&*^%& hpi put on these cars. Maybe when they release the hard rear compound i will be happy.

Aren't the FG squares the same on all the vehicles??? I am out of the loop on FG, I do have FG car square wheel adapters here

We are testing our front extenders out this week in stock and 8mm offset.
The bearing retainer is going to help should the wheel get knocked off as it has been known to happen. Keeping that bearing attached to the axle will save a few dollars per crash

[mradlin]

Those bearings are more than a few bucks each!! But if we can save them that sounds great to me!!

I really like this idea of using parts we have already and giving the option to extend or not. Would need the brake hex for me.

[Budmancan]

Looks like a great idea. I like the brake ring retainer.

[Vertigo Performance]

brake ring retainer?
brake Hexes are an option we are looking at..

[Budmancan]

My bad, meant just brake hex.

This is photos of the prototypes of 8mm extenders.

That looks like it might help to keep some dirt and stuff away frome the bearing too!

[Vertigo Performance]

That was the plan. The fact you install the clip with the axle out of the buggy is so much easier.

[mradlin]

That'll be just plain easier to install! Sounds good!

[Vertigo Performance]

We have also incorporated some other features that should show up on the production version

[hal001]

sounds really cool.

[mradlin]

Any news on how these are coming along?

[Vertigo Performance]

We were out testing them today with favourable results. We are also going to have 3 buggies testing these before we go to market.
We want to be sure the clips won't unclip and that our option attachment system will work without other unforseable issues.

[mradlin]

I've been testing a set of these for about two weeks now, All I can is smooth. Just like the rear extenders no tools are needed to remove the extenders and make them stick out only like stock. So far so good, I'll keep you all informed!

[hrlaust]

will it be possible to use rear tires in front, with these front extenders?
That might look pretty cool ;)

[mradlin]

I just checked. With the front extenders, yes you can put rear tires on the front.

ME LIKE!
Then I am going to buy these when they are done :D

[mradlin]

Just ask Clayton here on the forum. He'll have a good idea when they'll be ready.

[Vertigo Performance]

On hold pending release of other products.. no time frame, sorry

[Budmancan]

noticed these on front page now, are they shipping yet?

[Vertigo Performance]

Not shipping yet. A couple more weeks stil

They will come with shaft, spacer and pin. Use of the stock rear hexes will be necessary, this helps keep the cost down and utilizes a part people have laying around.
We are working on a hex for those wanting to run front brakes but that is some time away.

[hndaman1]

any ideas on a cost on these:confused: I think these are going to be a HUGE HIT on the BAJA......:D :D now you can turn it into a truggy:eek:

[Vertigo Performance]

They are $31.95
Rears are $26.95
=============
.............$58.90

Then we should have a 4 pack of front and rear for about $49.95
We had to bring the price down to stay competitive although the products offer more than what is out there now.

[hndaman1]

Thats cool....No I have too save up for that now also:p :p

[hndaman1]

how much longer till we can buy these? and can we buy these direct or from Hostile?;) Cause I want to oder those VP decals also at the same time
