These efforts will be made to ensure that McKenzie’s excels forward into the next chapter within the off­road market. Everyone here at McKenzie’s would like to share a statement from the unforgettable owner, Mr. Jeff Quinn. “McKenzie’s Performance Products is fast approaching its 50th year in business. McKenzie’s was first established in April of 1968 by Scott McKenzie in a small building in the San Fernando Valley. For the past 28 years I have been the very proud owner of McKenzie’s. The friendships that have been formed and the journey’s that have been created are beyond what I ever thought possible when I first took the keys. I’ve had the opportunity to race with some amazing people along the way and forge friendships near and far that will last a lifetime. To our loyal customers, Thank You! None of this would have been possible without your support. The knowledge that I gained in listening to your adventures, mishaps, and successes translated into better parts and experience that helped advance our industry. Every one of you has been instrumental in the progression of our sport. To our vendors, Thank You! The quality products and support that we have been allowed to provide over the past 50 years has truly been one of the components of our amazing success. To the team of professionals I have had the pleasure to work with, Thank you most of all! You are the backbone of McKenzie’s and I truly couldn’t have done this without you. Your dependability, loyalty, and reliability are unmatched and for that I am beyond grateful. To my family, I am beyond grateful for the patience and love you have shown me throughout the years in allowing me to grow not only a successful business but to also fulfill my hobby and passion. I love you with all my heart and look forward to spending more time with all of you in this life we call retirement. http://us1.campaign­archive1.com/?u=3b8c3304df68a2201eefa4b13&id=22444f601d&e=f985202079 3/6 11/30/2016 McKenzie’s Performance Products Inc. has been acquired by McKenzie’s Performance Products LLC McKenzie’s is on to a new and exciting journey, and I am thrilled to be turning over the reins to Roy, Mike and Nick to take the off­road industry to new and improved areas of growth and expansion. I ask you to please continue to support their venture as they will grow this business with improvements in the off­road industry. I look forward to the exciting changes taking place. Again, thank you for 28 years of incredible business, and don’t be surprised if you see me in the McKenzie’s sales trailer at the upcoming races!” A few words from Roy Dehban: “When I shared the news of acquisition of McKenzie’s with a few close friends and off­road business owners, the common question was if I’d keep the name “McKenzie’s.” My immediate response was most likely yes, due to respect to Scott McKenzie, who was a pioneer in off­road racing and the business of off­road racing. As the process continued and I began to know Jeff more, I realized that we share many common views and experiences. We started a great friendship that I think will last for a long time. Respecting the originator is a good reason for keeping the name “McKenzie’s.” As I visited Jeff at work and having seen how hard he works, I found the greater reason to keep the name. Jeff is “McKenzie’s” and replacing him would be an impossible task. I promise to continue the dedication he has shown to off­road racing, great clienteles, and loyal employees. I can honestly say that I regret not knowing Jeff earlier. I think we could’ve had a great partnership, since both of us love, enjoy, and breathe every aspect of off­road racing. Jeff, I wish you the best of luck in everything you have planned for your future. I also hold you to your promise of being a guiding light for future of McKenzie’s, and more important, off­road racing. Thank you for the opportunity you are giving me. http://us1.campaign­archive1.com/?u=3b8c3304df68a2201eefa4b13&id=22444f601d&e=f985202079 4/6 11/30/2016 McKenzie’s Performance Products Inc. has been acquired by McKenzie’s Performance Products LLC About Race­Dezert.com Race­Dezert.com was created by off­road enthusiasts, giving off­roaders a place online to share information about the sport and culture of off­road racing.

  • Axial Racing AX10 Scorpion ARTR Rrci Feature
    AXIAL Racing AX10 SCORPION ARTR RRCI feature BY PETER GRAY Factory assembled, ready for radio right from the box As it turns out there is an actual ‘Rock Racing’ club in the USA where instead of crawling over rocks they see just how fast they can traverse a normally highly technical and challenging trail and it’s a full throttle, all action adrenalin pumped division of the rock crawling section, but not for the faint hearted. Crashes and breakages are a common sight and all part of the appeal for the bloodthirsty spectators! So maybe we were a little unfair on the Rock Racer, expecting it to rock crawl straight out of the box. Well now, having seen the response to the AX10 in all its guises and the most popular options people select from the vast range of hop ups, Axial have now produced an ARTR (Almost Ready To Run) crawler, with many of the option parts included to give you the best head start in the world of rock crawling possible. It is factory assembled and ready for radio, easily the quickest way to get some serious rock crawling performance. So let’s take a closer look and see what Axial have ALMOST READY TO... improved, and if we might make it even better with a couple of simple mods and a few of the more popular Axial options still applicable to this uprated version of the already impressive AX10. THE FUTURE IS ORANGE The huge truck bodyshell is the biggest restriction to articulation the C of G in the design, so the new Axial has a Lexan Tuber bodyshell, and ground clearance, not to mention squeezing down tight ravines for maximum clearance, massive articulation and minimal weight or side slipping a rock face, so the new RTR Pro version comes with a penalty, keeping the C of G as low as possible, a smart move indeed.

  • Let's Get Crawling
    Let’s get crawling August 13, 2019 Myles Cartelli, who works in weapons fabrication services at the Laboratory, eases his modified 1994 Jeep Wrangler into a riverbed, using the four-wheel drive to dig through the mud and rocks and into the water. After creeping out of this obstacle, it’s time to tackle an even more difficult one. Heavy duty, flexible tires crawl onto a series of boulders, with Cartelli easing the vehicle’s chassis over the rocks while allowing the Jeep’s customized differential and lifted stature to flex without having the 40-inch tires rub along the fenders. “I’ve always been into big trucks and dirt bikes, anything mechanical,” Cartelli says. “Back in the early 2000s, this sport of rock crawling started getting a little more popular. A few of my buddies started modifying their four-wheel-drive vehicles, and with my skills in welding and fabrication, I knew I could do the same. And that’s how it started, this evolution into modifying and customizing these vehicles for off-road trails.” Off-road rock crawling is an extreme form of off-road driving, one that uses customized vehicles to overcome natural obstacles. For Cartelli, it’s both the driving of these vehicles and their customization that he enjoys equally. Myles Cartelli hard at work in his shop at home. A lifelong fascination with fabrication Long before he started modifying and driving four-wheel drive vehicles, Cartelli knew he wanted to be a fabricator. “My dad was an ironworker here at Los Alamos,” he recalls. “He started up here in 1975 building racks for the underground tests at Nevada.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Union College ADVISOR: David Hodgson This thesis outlines the process of designing a three link front, and four link rear suspension system. These systems are commonly found on vehicles used for the sport of rock crawling, or for recreational use on unmaintained roads. The paper will discuss chassis layout, and then lead into the specific process to be followed in order to establish optimal geometry for the unique functional requirements of the system. Once the geometry has been set up, the paper will discuss how to measure the performance, and adjust or fine tune the setup to optimize properties such as roll axis, antisquat, and rear steer.
