I just got the first batch of trailing arms from the shop so it won't be long since the control arms are the next job. spools started in the machine shop today as well. different machine tho.

Check his website they are there.
You sure about that bud...
Then as I follow along...have seen that Matt has been bumped a couple times by the shop. ie...delayed/out of his control.
Soooo....Matt how we looking on the 5mm stubbies?
Because that site looks exactly like it did a month ago when I ordered it? And then received a long version.....somehow?

done. tapped a bunch last night. all 4 styles plus some .25" custom spools. i'm trying to ship everything today but some of the newer orders will go out tomorrow. you guys who have been waiting a month will definitely ship today.
in case i didn't mention it - thanks to everyone for your patience. the only thing i am waiting on now are the front control arms. trailing arms should be back from the anodizer tomorrow.

now that parts are coming in and my head is clearing up a bit, I suppose the next step in the MIP upgrade is to offer knuckle machining services for folks who don't want to hand grind their knuckles to fit the larger CVDs. i'll be getting into that probably this weekend.

Trailing arms just came back from anodize. Those of you who are familiar with our wraith trailing arms, note two minor changes: there is an additional hole for shock position adjustment and a drain slot in the bottom should your path take you thru mud and water.
No Worries, there are plenty to fill everyone's backorders and more "thumbsup"

FYI: the stock axle shafts will not work with the stubby spool and AX30383 as advertised. the setup is slightly wider even with the stubby spool. i am searching for a viable solution but you guys looking to use stock bones with the stubby spools are going to have issues. please contact me via email sales@bluemonkeyrc.com with any questions.
you may now throw rocks at my head...

Trailing arms are temporarily out of stock. The next batch is at the anodizer getting black and i expect them back wednesday 9/10 although the last batch came back quicker than expected. "thumbsup"

here are the pics of the yeti / exo control arms. The first 4 "actual" pictures are a copy of my last working prototype. As a final step i wanted to go ahead and have a set anodized to see if the holes shrank during the anodizing process. The pivot holes are reamed after bending to ensure proper alignment and need to maintain the correct size or the pin will be too sloppy or too tight and not fit. Fyi these are kinda hacked together (made manually). The production control arms will be cnc machined and have a closed bottom to protect your shocks as shown in the last 2 pictures.
i tried to get a good angle so you can see the major ground clearance improvement simply by adding another bend a the top. If the arm was any higher - your mip cvds would be lower than the bottom of the control arms and vulnerable to rock rash.
