Im with you mich... UE is over priced and that truck isnt worth the hype . Did it even go into full production?
Whose the one in illinois... - Ponch - 07-11-2006
Hehe..I'm going to bid like $10.

Nope never made into full production.

Not really. I did a comparison on another forum of VBS, vs. the fastlane hybrid bulks.
FLM Bulkless is made out of 6061 aluminum, which costs about half as much as 7075 aluminum, which is what VBS is made out of.
FLM 6061 bulkless: $180 ------------- If it were 7075 alum, it would cost about $360
UE 7075 Towerless VBS: $337 -------- If it were 6061 alum, it would cost about $168.50
On top of the, the UE vbs is lighter, has easy access diffs, captures the hingepins, uses larger screws to hold the skids on, and improves suspension geometry. The fastlane bulkless does none of this.
Also, the VBS comes with titanium skids, and bumpers I don't see that stuff with the fastlane bulkless.
Now which one is overpriced?

The Razor thats for sale is G3. 12 were made for testers. G4 would have been the production one, that has yet to be made.

Nice argument..Not much you can say after that post
Whose the one in illinois... - rocco79 - 07-11-2006
Uhhhh how bout the production model is nearly 3 and a half years over due ??? Thats a problem if you ask me biker...
All im sayin is for a fraction of the cost you can get a durable st-r,lsp,crt and have parts avalabile everywhere....
Whose the one in illinois... - kevinF - 07-11-2006
not worth the money IMO, all you would be able to say is, my trucks better than yours cuz there are only 12 made and i cant find any parts for it......I bet the person who says that would feel real big then lol

Robin could have takin UE overseas and had the stuff mass produced, and cut the costs, but odds are there would be a loss in quality, and he would lose alot of the UE loyal people.
I know I wouldn't have built a supermaxx is the stuff was made in china or taiwan, even if it cost 1/2 as much.
If the person was closer and I could see the razor in person, i'd be interested in a roller for roller trade w/ my CRT... but then with my luck the G4 razor would come out a month later lol.

just get a t-maxx and race the bases
Whose the one in illinois... - rocco79 - 07-11-2006
dude its cool your loyal to a product line but there are mass produced tawian made trucks that are just as reliable as a supermaxx
Whose the one in illinois... - Sh1nn3r - 07-11-2006
Tyco makes a comparable brand

I haven't seen these other trucks get run for 60 gallons like Tom Wolf's G3 Razor.
We all have our opinions on whats good and whats not. I had a supermaxx and loved it. If I had the $$$, I wouldn't think twice about building another, or buying that razor.
Whose the one in illinois... - dentguy92 - 07-11-2006
why would you want a truck that is 3 years out of date
who cares if it can go 60 gallons its still out dated and way
over priced.....
Whose the one in illinois... - rocco79 - 07-11-2006
I dont believe that 60 gallon shit for nothing... They may be tough but C'mon dude
Whose the one in illinois... - Sh1nn3r - 07-11-2006
Thats hard to believe becuase some people (like rocco who cant count that high) can keep track of every gallong they put inn
Whose the one in illinois... - rocco79 - 07-11-2006
woulda been a good burn except when you CAN keep track instead of CANT keep track...
Goofy tall bastard
