Kind of late to the party here but, for what its worth, dont be scared of trying the Blackbird series. I ran a 2 seat Colorado sand car with a NA J32 honda with a set of 32 Blackbirds. First tried a set of #2 paddles and that was perfect on the flats but on the steep dunes it just couldnt pull...

Heres a Few more I have put up recently. This is a buddys car that has been an ongoing project. This video is right after @John@Outfront worked his magic on getting the motor pushing the power it was meant to make. 2.5 Subi backed by an S4 in this Ricochet Sandcar. This Funco is actually...

Here’s an onboard dune run with the Barbieri’s from Gecko set to Road runner set. Super rutted and rough. And all the HP was used to keep up with them. Those big cars sure get through the rough stuff with ease.

Lights work great! Baja sports in the very center and are spots for far out, front corners are Baja XL Floods and at the A-pillar are cheap LEDs pointed 45° out for corners. For only having a few it does good enough to lead, lol.

Just wrapped up a trip for New Years. The sand was absolute carnage some sections in the busy areas had ruts so deep I was almost rubbing my skid pan. Switched the fronts out for some 8.50-15 razor backs from STU. They are the perfect tire for these little cars. So light, and narrow. I can...

I have the same exact trailer and have been trying to find more info on value. Hard to find 20' Stackers. Very nice Trailer, I love the options yours has.

I’ll be out there those dates, definitely want to link up again.

I have! 3 trips now in the car! Having been in a good handful of cars of the same era, I can comfortably say that I understand why so many people have a great love for the early Alumicrafts. For a 4 seat, single shock sandcar, this car absolutely gets down! It is a blast to drive and definitely...

Ive been waiting for someone to bring up Podium because I love there work but everytime i see their new car, I cant help but see an Alumicraft.... in almost every way... but i dont know enough about them yet. Thats great info to start with and makes sense.

All bearings are getting replaced, new axles are on order, B pillar added and the prep continues. My buddy at Sandburg Speedshop is saving my butt on going through this car. This usually takes me a few weeks to go through a car when I get it and he’s knocking it out in what’s been a week. Might...

Any info on these bearings? I would like to replace them and not finding anything on them yet

I know someone in here knows this car. The guy that I got it from mentioned he bought it off someone from this site around 2013-2014 ish. Stock 2.0 subi on about 8# and a built 091. He has a wrap over the paint and says its white panels with blue flames. Will confirm soon enough. The chassis is...

Car is acquired, a little elbow grease and the testing/learning will begin

Love the tail end of this. Great tin work, that is eye candy.

Absolutely. I very much agree with this point! I have outrun LS Sand cars and canams in a short travel Mazzone only because I knew what its strong points were and capitalized on them every chance I could. That run still gets brought up every time that group wants to do a night run. Suspension...

All great info. Thank You for the insights. I have been in Fast Kennys car and it handles great, but being passenger only gets you so much info and direct feedback. I am looking at a early Cooley car at the moment and Alumicraft has been on my list of cars to try on for size for a while now. Im...

I know Alumicraft is synonymous with desert racing and there’s a lot of history there. Interested in the Sand Dune side of the Alumicraft story. What’s the history, the different models, certain chassis that stand out and out perform? I know the Funco cars really took shape in their 3rd...
