NEW TRD 4" LIFT SPINDLE DEAL!!!

Might be in for the group buy...

 

Sub'd, for the potential group buy.

 

Hey guys,

just letting ya know that I'm still planning on calling up Jacob for that group buy- I just wanna clear up my sore throat as I sound like crap and I don't feel like struggling over the phone. Jacob gets his first order next month so we're not missing out on anything as it is. Was down with the sickness all yesterday just laying in bed. Should be better soon.

 

They sure are! Look for that curvy "M" at the top of the spindle. That's MAxTrac's emblem.

 

sub'd for updates.

 

I am in if you can get a group buy going! Good Luck!

 

Even if he is unable to get a group buy going, they are still a great price at $450 w/extended brakelines Im getting them either way, group buy or not!

 

Same, but saving money sounds good too

 

For those people who are so unsure about the iron used to cast these spindles, here is a little history on Ductile cast iron, and why it cost less to make.

What is Ductile Iron?
In 1943, in an effort to create an iron with better mechanical properties than either gray or malleable iron, Keith Dwight Millis made a ladle addition of magnesium (as a copper-magnesium alloy) to cast iron while working in the International Nickel Company Research Laboratory. The resulting castings contained not flakes, but nearly perfect spheres of graphite. This discovery opened the door to dramatic new possibilities in metal applications. Ductile iron offers versatility and high performance at low costs.
Since 1948, Ductile Iron castings have proven to be an effective, lower cost alternative to malleable iron castings, steel forgings and steel fabrications. It appears Ductile Iron was invented with the designer in mind. High Tensile Strength, yield strength and elongation combine to give Ductile Iron a superior strength to weight ratio that adds up to more strength for less expense.

Ductile Iron Cost Savings
In addition to the cost advantages offered by all castings, Ductile Iron, when compared to steel and Malleable Iron castings, also offers further cost savings. Like most commercial cast metals, steel and Malleable Iron decrease in volume during solidification, and as a result, require attached reservoirs (feeders or risers) of liquid metal to offset the shrinkage and prevent the formation of internal or external shrinkage defects.
The formation of graphite during solidification causes an internal expansion of Ductile Iron as it solidifies. This property of Ductile iron reduces requirements for feed metal as well as material and energy requirements, resulting in substantial cost savings. The use of the most common grades of Ductile Iron "as-cast" eliminates heat treatment costs, offering a further advantage.

For more information on the advantages of Ductile Iron, see the Ductile Iron Society article, "Why Convert to Ductile Iron?"

MTI Ductile Iron Production
Metal Technologies currently has the capacity to produce 92,000 tons of ductile iron castings per year. Casting sizes range from 1 lb to 40 lbs. MTI foundries produce all standard grades of ductile iron, including 100-70-03, 80-55-06 and 65-45-12.

Word. I'm in either way.

 

Matt, you're a dick...

Why don't u tell the group what ya just did? I'm jealous.

EDIT: Ahahaha. He was foolin me. NVM that rude remark, Matt. You're not a dick

 

Sub'd for potential group buy.

 

So how many do we have for this potential group buy? I'm sure some initial numbers would be exciting for him to hear.
