Does anyone have any shrouds/fenders they could spare for a week or two? Having a hard time nailing down a quote based on images. CAD or 3D scans would help, but I haven't gotten quite that far yet.

Do we know where the old molds are physically located? If we could buy back molds, it would be pretty easy to get a local injection shop to run them. In terms of cost, I'm sure the molds were 100's of thousands of dollars, but maybe for pennies on the dollar we could make something happen. It...

This seems like an ideal Plan B... or Plan A.5 I'll chase this custom Chinese injection mold idea to ground, but I wouldn't bet on it. Slightly off topic: The real question is what do we do in 3-5 years when the battery packs start shitting the bed? I imagine you could tear them down and just...

Because I didn't know that... oops! So it sounds like based on Snydes and the rest of the comments, we need: Shroud RH Shroud LH Rear number plate RH Rear number plate LH Rear Fender Subframe It's my understanding that the plastic rear sub frame is load bearing, so that is still a big worry...

So one factory I've worked with has gotten back to me, and is curious about what specific pieces/parts we want. They would also like samples/CAD before they will quote the molds, but I'll try to get them to commit on a ballpark range. For specific parts we want to order, my thoughts are...

Well that is a bummer. I'm curious about some of the work he has done on DC-DC charging and would love to chat with him about a project I'm tinkering with. Can you DM me any contact info if you have it?

FYI, I was busy over the weekend and didn't get any RFQs out. I'll keep looking into this.

I know a few places. I'll reach out this weekend and DM you if anyone is interested in this kind of project. It's Saturday morning in China, so might need to wait.

If you tool it up in the states, yes it would. If it was sourced overseas, a low cavity count, class 5 prototype mold (500-1000 parts) would be well under 10k. Could probably do the whole plastics set for 20k? Just a shot in the dark. And not including the sub frame. That might be more...

Based on the Bike EXIF story, this seems like pretty much a factory Alta. Looks like the most sublime experience you could have on a flat track.

My Alta needs a friend!

It sounds like a PM to Philip is how to get more info (like the business plan, etc). I don't think they are looking for blank checks...

Anyone know of any extra gear for sale? It would be awesome to track down one of the black and white Faster Faster Inc shirts...

I would imagine that the BMS and a lot of the associated wiring is also pretty close to the inverter. Either way, there is a lot of current going into the bike; More cooling is better than less cooling, and if you are already drawing wall power, why not run the pump?

bluefxstc, I totally skimmed over your first post about the CAN bus control info from Elcon, my bad! Sorry to make you repeat yourself. Based on the tear down I mentioned above, there are at least 5 high power switching transistors which allow modules to switch from series to parallel. If those...

Just found this thread, and it looks like you all are looking for the same thing I am. Any word on the charging protocol between the Alta Charger and Redshift? I imagine it would be something similar to the J1772 AC standard (which is very well explained here: The DIY J1772 Charging Adapter -...

Machining precisely enough to contact the rotor is really hard. Plus, when you replace the rotor the new one will be slightly different (within it's tolerance range) and would not fit with your original cuts. Mark did it right.

You can pull a little more material out to add more negative space... I believe in you!

So how much softer is the EX than the MX? And for valving/stroke, I'm not as familiar with air-fork tuning... is it still an orifice for low speed compression and spring washers for high speed? Or is there some tomfoolery with non-linear response of a compressible gas?

Hey, So with spring coming up, I'm starting to think about trying my EX out at some tracks. I love my 2 stroke track bike, but it's hard to go back after getting to love the electric response. I know the 4CS forks are not great for serious track riding, and the softer EX springs even less so...
