Been to Paris and Strasbourg, looooooved Strasbourg. It was only 1 1/2 hours from Heidelberg. Paris was kinda littered with trash everywhere. My only regret is not taking a single picture. Another beautiful country!

I like that buggy looks good

How did yall come up with the name Crixus?

Speeding · Jan 11, 2013

That is awesome. I'm kind of surprised no one has ever imported the Simex tires over here. I think they'd do great if they offer sizes large enough.

Re: Re: Crixus

I do believe that the Simex only goes to a 35"

Hello !
Some news from France.
Crixus is more or less ready to go now !

Looks good, but those tires are TINY!

Crixus, GoldenCoastCustom, test accélération.

fab21 · Mar 3, 2013

Yes there are !!!
But it's a budget buggy. So the wheels are adapted to the axel...
Later, the customer will probably ask for big axel and so, big wheels 8)

fab21 · Mar 3, 2013

Crixus, GoldenCoastCustom, test franchissement

8) ;D

ridered3 · Mar 3, 2013

Buggy looks quite cool!!!

What's a big axle size over there?

fab21 · Mar 4, 2013

D60/14B 8)
For the moment, it is mercedes Axel.
Normaly, the customer will buy RCV, and after increase a little bite the wheels size.
But it will still mercedes axels....

Very cool build. Thanks for sharing it with us!

How expensive is a set of one tons(60 & 14 bolt) over there?

fab21 · Mar 6, 2013

Unfortunatally, really to much !!!
It's rare, and you know, when it's rare, it's expensive....
In average 2500 dollars to 3000 dollars.
So, when I see this for exemple :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-DANA-60-FRONT-DANA-70HD-REAR-DRW-COMPLETE-MATCHING-AXLES-4-10-1-TON-60F-70-HD-/281073977649?hash=item4171508931&item=281073977649&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr
With the shipping over see, the coast still the same... So, I try to keep one eye always open here in France to be the first when a set is for sale for a good price....
