Just wonder what people are using for front hubs out there on their buggies. If you are using an aluminium hub what sort of wheel bearings are you using, is it a 2 bearing unit or just the standard taper bearing type. Also what brake rotors are you all using? Looking at a few options here! Cheers

I'm currently running BTR's but am curious as to the performance of the Staun beadlock. On paper they should not only produce a lock on both beads, but also produce a dual rate spring rate from the tyre. Anyone actually used them in a race situation?

Hi, I have an already widened VW beam on the front of my buggy, I am going Coilover on the longer arms but the beam is just a bit short, could fit 1 shock either side but not 2.
