It sure is.

yup, figured as much - keeping the jackshaft inside the bulkhead is the main reason a lot of people used the ZX case.

Your drop and roll is not as big as you want people to believe, based on that information. Keeping the jackshaft in the bulkhead just sucked up the extra length of the zx case, your drop and roll wasn't that much. If you would have told me that you had a zx chaincase and the jackshaft was now in the tunnel, I might have been impressed.

It was a good try at a smoke and mirrors trick to make people think your ZX case meant you had a big drop and roll. :rolleyes:

Refer to crankshop's pic:
You do have a nice approach angle, in part due to your short travel front suspension - but your bellypan ride height is only 6". You could stand to use a few more inches of clearance up front IMO, but you'll have to compromise a degree or two of approach angle.

My bad it was 420 in the morn. Yes the jackshaft is in the tunnel. Also I am running 8 tooth 3.0 pitch drivers so that helps a little with the attack angle as well.

cool. sounds like it was probably dropped and pulled quite a bit then, for sure the drivers are helping you out there. I'm impressed. :D

From the bottom of the bulkhead to the ground it is 8.5 in. Also from the tip of the 2.5 in track to the bulkhead my head will fit inside.

I like it...color and all. At least you can walk out of the cabin and know which sled is yours. There's so many belly-button sleds out there, the only way people can tell them apart is by the license plate.

I wonder if lhf ties his colorful sled down with the pretty pink rachet straps in the background of that picture? Just wondering.

That's why I put my name on mine.
