[RodneyPierce]

OS knock off. At least its a good design to copy! Looks really nice.

 

[Darren Elson]

Thats what i said but these are ready to bolt a motor straight to without purchasing any extras or making upto and if his price stays atwhat he says its also cheaper aswell,but ill reveal more at a later date

 

[topfuel443]

Gotta give us more details... or else its just unicorn milk.

Who is making it/selling it? When is a release date?

 

[Darren Elson]

going to be released jan to feb

and will be available from here: http://www.performancemodels.co.uk/

thats the most i can say for now

Hmmm looks alot like a copy of the OS yet the best part of the OS leg has been removed...

 

[David Moyle]

That's a nice rendering! Will the lower be cast or machined?

 

[RodneyPierce]

*OT* David my friend, how yah been brother?!? Been a while man!

 

[David Moyle]

PM sent Rodney!

 

[Grimracer]

complete swing and a miss on the mount!

 

[RodneyPierce]

Now Grim, they have to at least make a couple changes, as to not get into any trouble. Come on brother

 

[Tim_Duggan]

I want to know more about the Unicorn milk of which James speaks? Is that a useful substitute for snake oil? :lol:

More choice for items such as this FE unit can't hurt. Good to see that there is interest in such a product to market it.

 

[Tim leyde]

I like how the motor mounts with the lower C.O.G. on the leg. I hope they are machined ( much better ).

Couldnt agree more

Tilted pivot pin is the issue

Tim i think if you look at the dimesions the CG will be similar to an OS

Maybe slightly lower but that is a good thing as you said

That stubby little motor on there gives a false read that motor looks to be around 40mm tall

given the scale

Most P motors are in the 70 - 80 mm tall range

It looks very nice....and if the price is right; I am thinking of ordering one...

But like some one said...how is the pos/neg adjustment???????

Ronald.

 

[Darren Elson]

The leg will be CNC machined,with CF cav plate

The motor is based on 4050 leopard

the tilting of pivot pin is gonna be no different running a bullit drive etc (most if not nearly all the gas legs run like this aswell),yet to find out how the angle adjustments are made,im still awaiting more info,as soon as i do ill post it

yes the best bit has been removed where the +/- doesnt interfeer with the pivot pin angle

yes there are downsides but also plus sides cant please everybody i only posted it as i thought youd like to see whats coming out in the new yr and worth giving a try

 

[SayMikey]

Choices thats what its all about

 

[Mike Luszcz]

It would be great if an OS style lower in 7.5 size would come out that utilizes the OS style pivot as it is what separates good from great. Mike

I like the why it will be made and the materials used! Way to go whoever is making them. How much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You may be correct, about a stubby little motor. It still has to be better than that adaptor we all are using now. Anyway we all love options.
