Sorry to hear about the trouble with your cranks and we hope the damage to yourself is healing well. We will get you a new set of Next arms under warranty coverage. As we talked about on the phone today you can have your new shop contact me and I will set up the warranty claim with them. This kind of tab failure is not something we expect to see, although we have made some changes in the carbon lay-up to strengthen the chaintabs further. The new Next cranks will serve you well. Thanks for riding RaceFace.

Wow.

Where are the updates?

Well Let me see what I can come up with we were building the rear bumper today.

I have some angle iron just like that -- ya shoulda called.







Nice - as usual!

So that starts out as a piece of aluminum angle & contoured by the die ?

[ironworks]

It starts out as a roughly shaped STEEL piece that is ran through the machine to form the desired shape. The die was designed in Solidworks and water jet cut from 1" steel. We then shape the dies to form the desired contour. It has 3 bend radius's in the piece, we the set up each half to give it just tiny peak in the middle to go with the stock peak in the tail panel. Just a teeny tiny peak.

You can see where we marked the peak in the middle.



Here it is mocked up on the car.

It's not the building cars that will make my head explode. It is all the other crap that it takes to get to the point you can build cars. You have not even seen the half of it, This car will be SUPER insane crazy someday.

Sorry no death race appearance that I know of. Maybe. We are getting close to building the interior body structure and removing those things very soon.

I can not wait to see more on this car.
