Yeah I just got their eNews email and looked through the build. They are building some trick parts and pieces for that thing.
When I talked to Tracy at the Off Road Expo, he claimed 2300# with rear steer. I am skeptical of that claim, but if he could pull this off for less than 2700# I will be impressed.
That is the first time I have gotten that e-news. Pretty cool stuff in there.
1) Say Hello to the Rock Bug
Say hello to who?!?! You read it correctly, the all new Rock Bug. What exactly is a Rock Bug? The Rock Bug is an all new buggy design straight from the labs of Spidertrax. Get ready, what we are developing here goes way beyond your typical chassis build. The goal of the Rock Bug is to create a whole new platform for aggressively testing the working limits of ultra high strength, ultra light weight product designs. When we say working limits, we aren’t talking just about show and shine either. The Rock Bug is set to debut at the 2009 King of the Hammers competition, driven by its proud owner, rock crawling champion Tracy Jordan. We just got started so be sure to head over to “The Blog of Spidertrax†where we are posting tech information, pictures, and video on the new build daily. See you there!

3) Upgraded ARB Engagement collar
Currently under testing is our new Spidertrax ARB engagement collar for the Ford 9â€. The strength of the Ford 9†ARB is very good, but as tire size and horse power increases, the differential is put to the test. The first component that surrenders to the abuse is the engagement collar. We are now making a replacement collar that is made out of stronger material with a slightly modified shape to increase strength and wear, as well as obtain a more positive engagement. Reports back from the field show a significant increase in strength over the stock OEM engagement collar. All testers will be given a “Limited Lifetime Guarantee†on the part (against wear and breakage) in return for their feedback.
