Re: Autocross AD
from the g machine page
http://www.schwartzperformance.com/1...is-full-frame/ looks like they do bracing if you want it because some frames are laddered

Re: Autocross AD
Daaaaamn that seems reasonable for a full frame kit when you look at all the work involved doing something like that.

Re: Autocross AD
That is quite a deal when they are competing with trucks that are specifically built to run those Goodguys Autocross events.

Re: Autocross AD
Schwartz had a really good build thread for that truck, you can see most of it in their “projects” section.
I too am perplexed about how minimal the Schwartz chassis’ are. Even their k members for other makes are fairly minimal. But, obviously they work. I suppose you can’t go fast with a bunch of extra weight. If you look at the g machine chassis, it actually has a radius arm lower control arm, very interesting. On a side note, the Raybestos truck is using Shelby 14” rotors and Toyota 4 piston calipers. Just food for thought. |
