It seems we are addicted to billet. Nearly everything (maybe everything come to think of it) we manufacture is out of domestic grade billet material. Forgings do have their place, and we have a number of products where forgings would traditionally be considered “the ideal way to manufacture”. Extreme racing (and crawling) push those boundaries though, even the slightest material imperfections can make the difference between 1st and last. We work with only the purest billet materials, from 6061 to 300M and beyond. It’s not the most cost-effective way to go, but it’s the best in terms of quality and reliability. With that, back to work we go.
Oh, and in case you were wondering… the in production parts pictured here WILL BE THESE.
Just a friendly reminder, in observance of Memorial Day we will be closed Monday May 25th and will reopen Tuesday May 26th. All orders received after 2PM on Friday May 22nd will ship Tuesday May 26th.

We take great pride in American manufacturing, promoting our Made in USA stance since we started this college hobby business back in 1999. Taking our Wheel Spacer Kit as an example, we have manufactured the spacer exclusively in the US for over 16 years now, using only the finest grade of US manufactured aerospace aluminum on the market. This by itself is enough to make a Made in USA claim, that is by the FTC “virtually all” standard, we can claim our Wheel Spacer Kit is Made in the USA regardless of where “the rest” of the kit comes from. But why stop US manufacturing at just the spacer?
In addition to manufacturing the wheel spacer in-house while using only US manufactured aerospace aluminum, also Made in the USA is our wheel studs, lug nuts, thread locker, lug nut bubble bag, aluminum anodizing, packaging foam insert, product instructions, Spider sticker, box label, and our printed Wheel Spacer box. Every single component in our Wheel Spacer Kit is manufacturing in the USA, without exaggeration and without exception.
I find it’s one of those things that, having done for so long, becomes commonplace and doesn’t really hit home until we are giving a shop tour or writing a post like this. Felt inspired to take a quick break and share that with you today, when we say Made in USA we really mean Made in USA. With that, back to work we go.
We printed twice as many calendars this year as last, and what do you know… they are almost gone! All online and phone orders of $50 or more will get a free 2015 Spidertrax Calendar, good only till THIS THURSDAY, the 29th of January. With 100% confidence, our in-stock inventory will be dried up by that date, so if you’ve been thinking about placing that order best to do it in the next two days to get that FREE calendar.
With that, King of the Hammer week kicks off in t-minus 5 days and counting.
