Hi folks. We're coming out to Laughlin and have already hooked up with some good contacts. We will be at Contingency and I'm looking for suppliers and information on CV joints, driveshaft (axle shaft) manufacturers, hubs, spindles, diffs, steering racks etc to import and build into a new generation of UK race trucks. I'm also looking for advice from those that have tried them on what works and what doesn't with these parts.
The pontiac powered Venom Protruck that I have developed was conceived three years ago and, while different from anything running over here, is am nearing completion. However, my influences, skills, knowledge and budget have moved on quicker than I got it built so I'm eager to get at the next level....basically, I'm looking to develop a US style race truck that will still work over here.

I get Dirtsport and buy the Dezert People videos as well as watch the forums. Any ideas?

A whole new technical and performance universe will open for you at Laughlin. It will then become a matter of how much work and resources you want to spend.

Thanks, I was hoping that would be the result. I have a history of working until I drop to try and achieve a target. I've also just changed the course of my entire life to break into the UK off road racing market place, which seems to be working, so it was a good gamble. Resources are not too plentiful at the moment but this too is changing. I know what I want to do and where I want to be....just need to push to get there! I reckon you guys have got the kit and knowhow to assist in this aim.

See you there.

Contingency is a good place to see the vehicles up close. Keep moving and take lots of pictures, because later it will all be a blur. If it's procucts you want to see up close along with getting full information, it's hard to beat the Off-Road Expo in Pamona, California.
