Maybe, but this company in China jumped into a very competitive market and made it work by delivering a top of the line quality product for a much better price than the American Company's. The sprint car community is blue collar and conservative overall, and a sprint car chassis coming from China created quite a stir and trust me, it was bashed, scrutinized and demonised. The forums and messages boards light up like a Christmas tree, and the bashing would go on and on and on. Guess what? Look over their site and not only is it all true, they are now selling chassis and parts to some of the top teams in the nation and winning!! OK, some of their stuff, not much though, is assembled here, but hey, it's made in China and they've passed one of the toughest tests out there for dependability and more importantly safety. Trust me, every time a XXX chassis was involved in a bad one like the one below it was gone over with a fine tooth comb and to some dismay, they've stood up as good or better than our chasis built here at home and of course, they're cheaper.
The proofs in the pudding so to speak, and in the case of the XXX stuff it's top rate across the board and it's been tested and scrutinized by the best experts out there with the metal and welds being at the top of their concerns. Look at the site and the testimonials and that's a tough crowd their playing to. After all, they put their lives on the line every time they strap one on.

Longer than a day, really. One more thing, the China bikes come largely unassembled so you are the victim of an unqualified and usually disinterested person when it comes to things being tightened and put together properly. Also, try to find parts.
Ha, part of the instructions that come with them is to check and tighten everything up before you ride one. But again and as I've shown, all your major Japanese bikes use parts from China and a lot of them. I'm not advocating buying one of those cheap bikes, but I am pointing out what the reality of the market is today.
You have no idea how hard it was for the triple xxx company's sprint car chassis and parts to be excepted in that community, and the names that was used to describe the first to use them was as you might imagine.
small world...I ended up owning 2 fat cats....not to skilled or much time on riding them and sort of worried about them going up a steep sand hill but giving it a try next time I go down. The Fat Sand are for sale in Gilbert by a friend of mine aaaaand online...They go great on low tide hard packed and if you peddle ok on soft stuff...no way up a big soft sand hill.
I don't think so Jerry, and the numbers of all they offer is not insignificant. If you look over their site you can see that there involved in all aspects of Sprint car type racing offering full roller chassis in multiple divisions plus all parts that go to them; Sprints, Midgets and 600's.There is no other application for these parts. Many times the reps of XXX have came on our forums to explain the different aspects of their company and the way the company works to bring top notch quality equipment to the teams.
