A thought on vertical steering - This might help getting it done!

[Johnmaster]

I am also miffed that the the XF "High Country" package with the mountain track, the mountain seat, the mountain steering post doesn't come with mountain front suspension. Does complaining really help? I'll have Hundreds and hundreds of dollars in a-arms and shocks since there will not be take offs available for sale for awhile.
If anyone is planning on putting aftermarket arms on right away, please let me know, I may be interested in your old ones.

Also, I just checked it out this past week, there are no welds on this new vertical column base that I could see. There should be no reason that these new posts will fail at the weld like the ones in the current M chassis were failing. I snapped one last year and replaced it, these look well supported.

Well, that is really good to hear! (not sure that I trust the observations of some random cheesehead though... kinda dodgy)

I think the short stem should help anyway. Less leverage on the bottom mounting point and thanks to that pyramidal chassis, stiffer up at the top mounting point. Well, in theory anyway.

Yup that is what I cannot figure out either! Really looking forward to going back to a shorter track. I think it will be a blast and I can't wait for the other guys in my group to be amazed at what you can do with it. (I hope)
