<< Don't you guys think that it is expensive enough to build a race quad without tacking on another $5G+ ?? >>



yes but if it works and i have the money i will get one. you wouldent?

 

If I was into racing big time I would but as it stands if I had an extra $5000 I would buy another quad or get my truck all done up.

 

Titanium is brittle AND really flexible. Your frame would act like a rubber band if you did a decent sized double.

 

Alot of people on here are confused when it comes to material vs design properties. Deformation can be brought under control depending upon how something is designed, in this case, an ATV frame. Before everyone jumps to conclusions perhaps do a little background research. There are plenty of good materials and design books out there. Check out Amazon.com

Titanium is not brittle.

 

Anyone running one of them ti axels from R&amp;S?

 

alaska while i believe your right i highly doubt a company like lsr (known for having the crappiest of the aftermarket frames) did as much research as they should have on working with titanium. i would not trust that frame

 

I do not know of LSR's engineering, manufacturing, and racing background, so I would have to agree with you on whether or not to trust the frame design and construction. I would be scared to think that LSR takes the same approach as Laeger-- just welding together what looks good.

It just seems like an awful expensive mistake to make. I wasn't saying that LSR got it right and that they designed the end all of frames; I was just saying that with the right tools, R&amp;D, and money that it could be done.
