That is how it should be done. I lube the inner lip of the boot so it slides better on the axel

I've beenthinking about using this product to protect the axles from nicks and dings. Has anyone had any experiences with it?

No, never seen that before. I currently use electrical tape and have used large shrink wrap on one car.
The only thing with shrink wrap the size you’ll need is expensive and if you ever need to magflux the axels, it need to be removed, adding expense. However, it works really well, so well I had it on a set of axels for 17 yrs. and never had to replaced it. More option is good.

I was unaware of this product, so thank you for posting it. I like the concept of it and the ability to remove and replace it easily. I'm not a fan of the "candy cane" look (using two different colors) so if I end up going with this stuff, I would just get both "stripes" in black. (Just my personal opinion, of course.)

3M cold shrink could be a good option as well since you can get it as EPDM rubber or silicon base. Not to mention it's thicker than most heat shrink.

I use marine grade, two layers.
First using a 2" fallowed up with 2.5"
By the time they shrink down you have a nice thick layer.

I was told by Karla the cars would come with the new brake compounds.

That's nice to hear...... but I wish I could believe anything she says - I don't feel like she's "in the know". I'm just hoping the cars come with the new compound! #471

The consensus is nobody believes what speed tells them. This really does suck.
Daniel tells me the new compound pads for stock brakes is an accessory, Karla tells you it's now stock on all cars. What will Rg and TR tell them next people who ask? They are 30 days out?

Keep in mind I heard two different (but similar) things from TR and RG regarding speed key

When I was at the Speed booth checking out the El Diablo with my friend that has a deposit on one, Robby was there showing us how that jack table thing works ($2,500 jack). My friend asked him about the brake pads and RG's answer gave off the impression the cars come with the new brake compound.

Just have to laugh. I asked Todd about the new brake pads at SSSS and he said no they don’t come standard. I’m going with that because then I won’t be disappointed when I have to pay for them lol.

Hey big shout out to C_knippelberg for his #343 post.
if you getting discouraged, bummed, pissed go back and reread his post, it says it all. Perfect No, best car on the market Yes, are you gonna love it …absolutely.
Forget he said, she said the cars are out there and they are only getting better.

($2,500 jack) ????

The electric AGM jack costs somewhere between $1300-$1450 depending when you ordered it. I looked at the time I ordered mine what seems like decades ago and the cost on the speed accessories page and AGM direct site were the same so I just ordered through Speed.

Did you confuse the cost of the overall trail kit with the cost of the jack maybe?

Interesting comment at the end. Morgan motorsports for bolts? Was this a jab at the pizza guy?

That is what he told us the price was for the cart jack thing he had the El Diablo on and it was 10% off for the Sand Show

Nevermind.... I'm a dunce and misread your original post. We were talking about the AGM jack for out in the wild and you were taking about the table jack for the shop.

My bad...

Is that the same guy from the boardman video talking about the gibson exhaust? Looks and sounds like him or am I just crazy?

I’m not sure what bolts he’s talking about that are not strait? Morgan Motorsports is a fab shop in Havasu, and is Max’s stepdad.

None of it has anything to do with the Felon Red Barron pizza guy.
