Did anyone happen to check out Michael Walsh's C-dale at Macon? It was the best looking C-dale I have ever seen. His brother raced it in the 4 stroke C class and easily won both motos. It was outfitted with Walsh long travel a-arms, swingarm, steering stem, customized subframe, and a customized aluminum gas tank. It had 250r plastic on it and PEP zps shocks. The quad was awesome. I am now thinking about selling mine and getting a setup like Michaels. At London I will take pics of it so everyone can see. MrP.

Mike Walsh races our series (NEATV-MX) when he is not at the nationals. At our banquet a couple of months ago, he brought a 440 with all the Walsh goodies. Not sure if it was his brothers or not. But yes, that thing is nice.

By the way, anything he biulds is awesome. Not mention he is a really nice guy. He will talk to you at the track, just like any other racer. One day after a race we met up at a gas station. He asked me about my quad, specifically my TCS shocks. All of a sudden he jumped on the trailer and started jumping up and down on the front of my quad checking out the shocks. Next thing I know, his old man yelled across the parking lot..."Mike, what are you doing?" Walsh replied, "Just checking out the shocks!" Maenwhile I just sat there pumping my gas.

I would have to agree with Lasher. If any of you are making chassis mods to your C-dale or any quad, I would seriously consider Walsh Race Craft products. They are the best and Mike is one of the nicest guys you will ever talk to.

YoDaddy- you ought to get you some Walsh a-arms when you get the money. Your conering speed will change dramatically.

I cant see why anyone would want to buy a moto440 when they could get the walsh440 for less and better equpiment. I dont think the moto will sell as well as everyone thought it would now!

LT80---Why do you say crappy TCS shocks? I have'nt heard anything bad about them. Did you have a bad experience with them?
