The wing you show a picture of (last picture) is built by a guy over in Australia by the name of Brett Talbot

There are a few pictures of it on the internet.

They moved to Washington state, so I lost the use of the CNC and molds. I lost count of how many hours I had with these, but around 50. I sold many to clubs in Australia, where these 1/4 sprints are very popular. I just don't have time for the sprints or even a simple trailer, but someday I'll get back into it.







The first rear end you show a picture of Kevin is actually built by a guy here in the States, Mr Bob Smith.

See more of his rears (including the picture you have borrowed) here:

custom rears

The second picture you have posted is a Skellenger Rear, modified by Bob using his side cups.

The problem with creating a 1/4 scale cobra is the time involved, the high cost for aluminum materials today and the very high selling price. The cheaper way is to make a glass body over the aluminum, but I don't feel it would be right having a billet suspension etc...and not a body.

The same pertains to the scale quick change and suspension, that's the reason why I stick with the chrome moly and belt drive system. If I could find another shop that I could use their cnc & lathe for a low hour price, I would think about getting back into building.

If you wanted to make an aluminum Cobra Body.You could buy this: GardenTrucking: 1:4 Scale Cobra Body
Then take .032 or smaller alumunium sheet and skin the body. You said you build or have built 1//4 scale sprints. You should no problem skining a body.

The Sprint on the table you could have made.There is a video on You Tube of it. Good job looks great.

I don't mind if you use my pic of the beadlock.I do have a problem of you not giving the credit to the guys.On the other pics you posted.One rim looks like a QSL another looks like a Bulldog rim.The checkerboard tire Todd Bishop of BRP Bishop Racing Rroducts.

I think you were just trying to show the board.Or trying to promote 1/4 scale

Oneforth: Thanks for clearing up the confusion.For pointing out the facts.I don't eye to eye with Bob but he does great work.

If someone takes credit on my work i don'tcare.Not saying FUNFER2 did.I have been copied many times.
