I suspect nobody is running this mod, mainly due to 3rds not having released the drop arms to suit the 80/100 yet! I will be fitting the prototype set next week to the BBM 80, so keep your eyes on this thread to hear all about how it goes.

Give Dale a call at 2Dextreme. He makes front arms for 80 series. I would rate his higher than 3rds anyday of the week.

His number is 0407837074

Any particular reason why, or have you arrived at this conclusion cos you know the guy? Considering 3rds aren't even available yet, I fail to see how you could have even formed an opinion, let alone an informed one....

you said it yourself....3rds arent even available yet.

but apart from that there a few comp drivers who run Dales arms, and they would not look at going back to 3rds.

this will be interesting to see how they work. Every bloody pootrol i see is using 3RDS arms, and i have been hearing for a while about them coming out on cruisers soon.

a mate has them on his pootrol and loves them but a fault we did pick up was that ,
were they mount to the chassi ,from that to the first pivot point it actually moves and allows the axle to move forward and back a little
