In the spirit of “going big” with Ultra4 racing, we’re very excited to release our all new 2-1/4″ threaded Aluminum Filler Cap & Steel Bung. This MASSIVE cap makes gear inspection a breeze, and filling your axle housing that much easier. Details over at http://www.spidertrax.com/Filler-Cap-2-1-4-Thread .

We are proud to release our latest generation of performance Ultra4 brake rotors, designed & manufactured with just one thing in mind: to push our sport further than ever before.

The all new Ultimate Rotor packs the same punch of our previous generation Pro Rotor, but at a fraction of the price. Amazing performance, a proven competition track record, and best of all budget friendly.

The all new Pro Series Rotor starts from scratch, building-up to an unprecedented performance rotor with no expense spared. Complete with chromoly construction, CNC machining, post-CNC heat treating, and double surface grinding, there is simply no Ultra4 brake rotor on the market that comes close. Unmatched rotor & pad wear, surface precision for optimal pedal feel, with the strength to handle the most aggressive of brake pads.

Both Ultimate & Pro Series Rotors are in-stock, shipping same day for those getting ready for the next wave of Ultra4 competitions. Head over to the Spidertrax Store at http://www.spidertrax.com/products/brakes to learn more about our new Ultimate & Pro Series Rotors.

Thanks in large part to the upcoming 2015 King of the Hammers, we’re currently sitting on our largest axle shaft manufacturing run in the history of Spidertrax. Sure it’s a bit early, but if there was a word to describe 2015 KOH so far, it would be “readiness”. Never before have we seen so many racers prepping as intensely as we are currently seeing, and make no mistake this fuel for preparation will mean only one thing: the 2015 King of the Hammers will be the most intense race yet. With that said, AN IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING AXLE SHAFT LEAD-TIMES. 

We batch our axle shafts run’s per month, so for those still waiting to get their axle shaft orders in, we will need your phone order by November 26th (that’s tomorrow) -or- an order placed online by November 30th (end of month) so as to have your axle shafts ready to ship by December 31st. This would give you a nice 1 month cushion before the big race, which is a good place to be.

If you place an axle shaft order in the month of December, your shafts would be ready to ship by January 30th. Even by Ultra4 standards, that’s cutting it WAY CLOSE for racing KOH.

So, please get that axle shaft order in by tomorrow (over phone) or by the end of the month (online) if you’re planning for the 2015 KOH. This Thursday & Friday we’re off for the holidays, hence the reason why phones aren’t available those two days.

With that, back to making axles shafts (and other Spider 9 goodness) we go.

We just released our new Ultimate Housing yesterday, why stop there. Say hello to the all new Pro Series Stub Shaft, a fresh approach in building the strongest stub shaft on the planet. Designed specifically for our 40 splined Ultimate Unit Bearings, the Pro Series Stub Shaft is 40 splined, manufactured out of billet 300M, has a massive 1″ threaded locking fastener (no more snap rings), and still turns an amazing 50°. It’s the end all stub shaft, and with the insane speed and power of today’s Ultra4, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Read more…

Not that long ago, we worked on a radical refresh for our Pro Series Housing. That update included the option of running 10” gears for strength and wear life, longer axle tubes for better project flexibility, and cleaner tig welds because they just look bitchin’. Since then, our Pro Series Housing has become one of our most popular housings ever made, but where’s the love for our original Ultimate Housing?

Love is in the air our fellow wheelers, today the Spider 9 Ultimate Housing gets a refresh just like its Pro brother. Our 3-1/2” OD x 1/4” wall Ultimate Housing now accepts 10” gears, measures 68” end to end, and is also tig finished because it’s nice to look pro. Best part? Price is still the same, $699 a housing. As of writing this post, housings are in-stock and are shipping same day. Learn even more (and order) at http://www.spidertrax.com/Ultimate-Housing .
