It's done every day a buddy and me copied a 2014 warrior in 2014 and put all points on a Black Rocket He said warrior points drove much better he cowned another black rocket it was updated didn't like it either. We are planning to do an XR 1 as soon as the people get chassis. We mainly do it to help out local guys that get cars bent to help them out . We ain't getting rich off it.Lol

You can absolutely copy it , but when you go to sell it your going to get half as much .... Thats just the way it is.

When there is a well established dominate brand in a given industry copy’s aren’t what people want.

may be , but you only have about 20% of what one from rocket cost to begin with so you still come out ahead......

A guy could build the same car from moly, but even then, yeah, it isn't 20%. Plus, how do you prove its the same?

Are you counting your labor on the car as free also ?

This isn't your average backyard copy. Former employee of Mastersbilt and Rocket built it and the craftsmanship is 2nd to none. Proven winner. New car on the way must sell. Call 724-454-6642
This is a chance to get up with the times for a fraction of the cost.

i can bend an notch the tubes , dont know how much thats worth , but im getting some age on me and hire a young welder that i will put beside any one , that will come here and weld it in for 800 bucks , still curious as to what you paid for that new xr1 you bought ? because what i was told backs up my 20 % , i guess my labor is worth 5% so i will bump it up to 25%.......also ,. i do realize that only a SMALL percentage of people involved with late model dirt racing can do what i do , and if i sold one i would defiantly want more than 25% , i just dont like being told i cant do something like duplicate something built from tubing and a welder , got that from my dad i guess , and he was the best i ever seen at this......

The good news is that if it’s priced right and someone wants it then it will sell ....

Everybody can't afford a Rocket I am like Fast Ford I like doing it my self if it's mine who cares .

I have literally done everything my self my entire life .... this is the only car I’ve ever bought assembled do to time constraints... I’m just saying used rockets go for stupid money , used anything else takes forever to sell and doesn’t sell for very much. Those are my observations and it’s not my fault ....

I couldn't agree more. But, I can't argue against Huck either. My friend, I help, has a remanufactured Mastersbilt. I am unsure if he would gain speed with an xr1. Despite the fact he outruns a lot of xr1, the car would sell for next to nothing.

Excellent point most of us do it all guys know we aren't gonna get Rocket type money for a homebuilt copy anyway we are just having fun trying to survive.

Everyone is completely missing my point. This is a used chassis with a used (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit and deck ... I assume quite a few nights on it since there is no mention of “ how used “ it is. What he’s selling would be around 10k or 10.5 brand new from rocket with zero races in your choice of colors. He is asking 6k for a copy .... I presume that if he’s asking 6k for a 2 yr old copy that he paid a decent amount more than 6k for it. So what did he pay for a copy ? 8k ? 9k ? I don’t see this car selling for more that 3-3500 , so if you pay 10.5 and sell it in this condition for 8k or more like people Are doing or you buy a copy for 8-9k and sell it for 3 , the rocket is a much better value because it holds resale value. Obviously if you are buying tubing and building your own car it will be cheaper , but acquiring all of the supplies , making a jig , building the chassis , driving it to powder coat , paying 6-700 for that and going to pick it up and drive it home and go get aluminum and build a body with no patterns is time consuming and unless you are retired/ unemployed your time is not free. I’m not in anyway saying people shouldn’t go that route , I’m just saying the cost saving is as dramatic as it’s made out to be

These frames are being built and sold for about $2000 less than an XR1. There is savings in the sheet metal work as well. That's why I bought it. I priced it based off of this. I tried to price it right and not be unreasonable so it would sell. It was built June of 2018. I don't race every week and only once a week when I do. It doesn't have a lot of laps. It might have 20 nights. Its a good value for the right person and a step up from blue/gray etc...
