Has anyone put rocket blue/grey or orange on a Mastersbilt smackdown? Can this even be done? I know they have the s7 spindles and gen x but was just wondering bout the rocket stuff... Thanks in advance

You can't do it without fab work. Not sure why you would want to...Originally posted by karsbell View PostModern Day Spec Wedge Racing -
What kind of fab work we talking bout? Thanks for your input.... This is just something we been throwing around cuz we have one rocket and a Mastersbilt and was thinking if it wasn't too much trouble switching it to try it and that way we didn't have to carry as many parts with usComment

Just realize that you're going to completely alter the front end geometry of either car you change and if you don't know what you're doing you're going to end up with a very ill-handling and unpredictable race car. A lot of time is spent developing the geometry on the front end of these cars and to just go mixing and matching parts (even if they seemingly fit) is not a really good idea.Originally posted by karsbell View Post
You're changing roll center, roll center migration, camber curves, and a myriad of other things. You likely won't be able to even get the static camber anywhere near where it needs to be.
Back to MBRacer's question, why would you want to do this?
If the only reason is to cut down on spare parts, that's not a very good reason. If you've run the scenario through front end geometry software and see something that you think you can gain, that's a different story.Comment

Brandon Overton has a car fixed like this and he does good with it running cratesComment

The rack width is the same as the narrow blue grey setup. In theory, you would just need different upper control arm mounts to get something that works.Originally posted by karsbell View Post
That assumes the lower control arms are near level at ride height on a blue grey Rocket.Modern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment
