"Any thing you pull out of a box that says made in China needs to be re-designed , you have to replace all the corners they cut."

Guess you dont have any parts made in china...

They build the parts as well or as bad as you tell them too... We have our CNC parts made here in the US, bust all of our cast or resin molded bits made in China... Labor is cheap there... Dont expect them to engineer the parts for you, but make them they do awesome./..

To the tread, That was INSANE!!! Totally awesome, totally crazy... Id never try it!!! And if the bolts are only grade 5 hardwear store junk, you still have a HUGE saftey margin. No worries there... But dont ever ask me to drive my truck or work on it, you are F'n crazy!

Way to go!!!

Awww, cmon Richard! You call that a motor? Geez, you can do better than that. Just go 'head and send it up here to Michigan, i'll take care of it. I won't even make you pay the shipping. See, I'm just looking out for your best interest, and the next one you build will be better anyway!

Seriously though, you did a good job. As for the safety thing, lots of us have done things as/more dangerous. Heck, I think some of mine even got put on that Youtube site by friends.
