Title: IRS/swing axles
Post by: Mauro Cattan on September 14, 2006, 19:16:55 pm
Hi guys,
I saw on Otto Bros blog these axles. I had never seen it before. Someone know anything about that?

That's a Folts swing axle conversion for installing a late type 2 bus trans into a bug. Very hard to break. Many serious racers over here in the states use that set up.

Folts swing axle conversion

mmmmm yeah!!!!!  It's a begin, now I can research something on www. Mine friend Fabio would like to make that conversion. He have the bus gearbox and the Oval's pan and he does not want to renounce to the fascination of the springplate

That's not a Dave Folts kit. Maybe they made their own version of it......
