It is becoming ever more difficult to find Made in USA chrome-moly tubing. Chinese
manufactured chrome-moly tubing is plentiful here in America and cheaper. What
tubing is YOUR favorite chassis or front axle made with? What is the country of origin
of your spindles, bearings and rod ends? If you have not investigated, you may be surprised.

I just bought a set of belts, and front spindles and arms and etc, Made in Cheeena gold tag/sticker on the boxes, all from well known manufacturers, SFI 16-1 tags and all. Look for them soon at Wal-Wart! Bob

Thank you for adding your personal experience. I never expected
this to include safety equipment. I find myself rather speechless.

Look at the people who run them and beat the crap out of them. Take Robert Ballou. He has put the XXX to the test quite a few times and nothing has ever happened. Have you heard of any horror stories about them? I know I havent. They are basically a copy of a Maxim and are very fast cars. I heard about in the WoO that people said Jac haudenchild had to be cheating as he was beating everybody and the WoO parked him saying that he could not run the chassis cause they thought it was thinner tubing. Well the owner of XXX just happened to be there and went over to the fire crew. Had them come over with the jaws of life and cut up the car right then and there at the track. Used 100 hundred thousandths tubing insteat of .090. The cars are actually heavier. I know in indiana there have been a few guys switch to them and have some success. I would trust the car.

I know that i have seen these welds up close and i havent seen anything wrong with them. If you can teach an american man to weld. Why cant you teach a chinese man to weld? There's no difference. Its just being made over seas. But thats just my $.02
