SamHolmes Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Wow...They do look nice :P :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Release 27th Sept 2005 :) Steve's put a load of time in on these. I've had a fair few templates on Weetabix boxes to check mod compatability. It's a dialled product :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 *Constructive Critism Alert* What does this booster have over, say, the Echo CNC booster? For it to be popular and sell, it will need more marketing than just the sympathy that its made by some guy in his shed... I know the whole "home grown" thing will do it for some people, but it needs some thing extra to tempt people away from tried and tested mass produced Chinese products if it's to do well. So... comparisons would be nice! How does it function over leading boosters? Is it stiffer? Cheaper? Does it have some function or other that allows it to be easily fitted without the maggie bolts going everywhere, or needing five hands to set it up? Does it easily fit in any four bolt mod/stock arrangement? Sell it to me!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Im not quite sure steve has made these in his shed! due to some of the pics has high quality (probably cost a bomb) machinary that they are made in. They are designed to illiminate ALL frame flex! and they has diffrent peer pressures on them (i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 They are designed to illiminate ALL frame flex! As are all boosters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's got a different shape to it near where the clamps for the Maguras go, meaning it's easier to set the brake up. The Control was such a bitch for doing that - with mine, it was just way too much hassle to set up which is why I plumped for a Team instead. It doesn't fit "any... mod/stock arrangement", which is why it says on the site that there's one for stock and one for mod. And unless Steve's massively altered his shed and his own appearance, that isn't his shed they're being made in, and that's not him making them...

Tom Booth Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 What does this booster have over, say, the Echo CNC booster? The fact its almost a tenner cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 OOOO that is looking rather sexy if I do say so myself. I too have had weetbix cutouts in the past and it's good to see the development process from that to this. Very nice finish and overall design. :) :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 and they has diffrent peer pressures on them (i think) The boosters have nothing to prove to their peers though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 I think I'll be buying one of them... it looks noice!!! :) :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 I dont actually know why i said that :) haha I think i meant that it is designed in a way that it is stronger in some parts, making it stronger all together? :S (Y) :- Just look at that pic thats in infered! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyroo Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 It should be advertised as being lighter and stronger and more compact and easy to use on the the site, that would help sell. Sounds good then! And onzaboymark you know what i mean by someone making it in their shed... (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Some nice stuff being churned out there Steve. Interesting to see how they machined it from a circular piece of material. After having some quotes for some CNC stuff myself, these must have cost a bomb to have produced (not sure on what quantities you had done) but they do look pretty swish, with anodised finish too (Y) and some nice solid aluminium (HE30).

Urpedigreechumdog Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 The fact its almost a tenner cheaper? £4 cheaper (Y) But still, £4 is £4, could buy nearly 4 pasties :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 must have been a bitch to find someone to heat treat them too? they look very tasty, but i wont be buying one unless mine snaps (Y) or i hear that its stiffer than any other booster :D ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 It screams echo control and nox. I still might buy one though :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canned Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Someone that's working on a smaller scale will depend on a product to market itself to an extent.... Those who are willing to try it will rave about it if it's good enough - then it'll sell itself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roozor Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Sex! i'm gonna get one :} looks really pro quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 looks like a really good booster, lot of research gone into that bad boy looks pretty awesome too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesaMan Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Is it just me that's thinking "it's just a booster"? OK so it looks good, it's a bit cheaper than the Echo et al, and maybe a bit lighter (like that much difference matters) but hell I won't be replacing mine anytime ever. How can a booster be hard to setup!?! Good luck to the guy though, got a mate who's getting one so I'll look forward to checking them out!

yoyoyo Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 But steve is popular on here so people will buy it to be nice(maybe) and then can tell all the people they are in contact with so it will become popular, as far as i know there isn't anyone from china on here to promote echo.Dunno if that makes sense :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesaMan Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yea makes sence, and sure wasn't having a go at him/guys posting. Like I said good luck to him and yea I'll do the same next time I know someone's after a booster - point them in his direction. Has he made anything else pimp? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
