BDAZ XX Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Look at what I just Committed to for my RC51. A freind is parting out, one of the most modified RC51's in the country. Built head to tail! Along with these I am picking up a few other goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonW Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Schaweeet! :thumbsup: How old are they? The early BST's were constructed poorly where the spokes meet the rim as seen in the pics of that Ducati that had a set come apart on him at the track. They took care of the problem, but I'm sure there are a few of the older sets still floating around if they all haven't self-destructed by now. Just be sure to inspect them closely in that area............I'd hate to see something bad happen to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDAZ XX Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 I cant wait to get them in a couple of weeks. I have to drive 4hrs north to pick them up and visit my freind. He said riding the bike with them vs stock will transform a already rock solid flickable bike into a flickable fuckin animal! Acceleration and L/R transitions are very, VERY noticable he says.

demon Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I'd say that's right. You'll loose like what, 10lbs per wheel. Damn. I'd drive 4 hours somewhere in a heartbeat to get a set of those and drop a pup off. That bike is gonna be mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
