Yes but its more expensive and harder to cut but you can make it lighter because you can go with less wall thickness

One word titanium...

One word titanium...

Now that sht is expensive

 

[rappy'97]

You get what you pay for. There was a guy that had a 5lb swing arm made of Ti, $2,500...

 

[duneracerweston]

[rappy'97]

I was thinking the same thing today. Ill get on that tomorrow. I put some skid mounts on today but i dont like em so im cutting them off. Duner I need something like your making for mine.

Man if you had some 1" .120 wall aluminum tubing an a tig lol that would light an still strong enough. Great work none the less though.

 

[duneracerweston]

.120 wall alum isnt going to be strong enough even if it was t6 6061 it would need to be thicker and 87 what ya got in mind?

 

[crashnburn]

Why wouldn't it be strong enough? It may take a little thought on the correct placement of gussets an all. Im not saying your wrong just simply asking to learn.

I need a diff skid. I got my sprocket side skid to work but the damn disc skid just hangs way to low. I dont know what to do.

 

[duneracerweston]

The alum would be strong enough but when you weld alum it makes that point week byalmost double alum is 1/3rd the weight of steel but only half the strength
And i more brital alum wont show cracks like steel will when alum cracks it breaks no warning crack it just breaks and if you weld it back up it gets more brital at that point before thats why most alum swingers are cast not welded plates and the ones that are welded are normally 1/4 inch or .250

Just put brackets close to the oem ones ill get you something to fix that:tup:
