You race motocross. Are you serious? Got money burning through your pocket? Spend it and get Elka's with some extended arms too. How about Elka long-travel quadrates with remote rezzies? The extra spring gives you extra cushion and adjustability, and the hose for the ressies gives you that extra bit of shock juice. Oh, and get yourself some completely adjustable arms, too. With chrom uppers. Sweet...

So, how do you like those tires and rims?

I love the rims and tires I really wanted to get the Hiper carbon fiber rims but couldnt afford them. But im happy with the ones i got. Thanks for the advice Im gonna get elkas for sure but is it worth the extra money to get the quadrate or is the triple rate good enough.

It's worth it for the quad rates with that extra adjustability they'll give you. Not to mention the additional "oomph" you'll get for clearing big jumps. Go to atvfourplay.com and check out the setups they sell. Tom is a good guy and will work with you on a major purchase like arms and shocks. He is also a certified tech, so he can set them up for you and service them down the road. He has some sweet a-arms.

I was thinking about the MXR-4s, but I wasn't sure how many seasons I'd get out of them. I think my mind is set on some RAZR MXs.

If your going to MX, then you need the best you can get.
My opinion is::
Custom Axis is prolly the undiputed king, but pricey.
PEP is what I'd recommend to everyone, but try getting a set.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
Elkas are readily available,and seem to be OK, but you have to deal with those non conforming French Canadians [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] HAHAHAHA
TCS, biggest joke in the industry. They can't even give these to a GNC racer nowadays.

Everyone likes the long travel a-arms and shocks. Give Angela at LoneStar a call about Long travel arms.
Have fun and be safe.

do you know what the prices of all those would be? I dont have alot of money to spend on them but i figure if im doing it now might as well do it the right way and get some good ones. Im already planning on getting some lonestar dc-4 long travel a-arms. I was debating between them and Roll design.

when you buy the elka's, they will need to know your setup in order to build the shocks for you...so if you havent decided on a-arms yet, you might want to wait til everything is planned out, cause elka charges like 100 bucks for new springs if you happen to have them made for stock setup when in reality you have +2 long travel a-arms
