I'd like to take a moment to welcome Robert and the crew at Argent Lab to frrax.com as our newest supporting vendor. These guys can set you up with some outstanding racing radio kits as well as seats, safety gear, helmets and lots and lots of other stuff. Please cruise the website and see what's available (I've already found some interesting looking racing seats for my car). I met Robert at the NASA nationals last year and look forward to catching up with him again this year. He's a great guy who's outstanding to work with.

Welcome aboard Robert!

Welcome guys! I seem to recall seeing your name plastered in large letters across a certain camaro in a certain magazine recently...

They'll be plastered on #37 also- got a nice two way radio system from Argent!

Robert is a great guy and has a great love of Grassroots racing. i owe Argent Lab Radios a great deal of credit for my podium at Nationals and for how well i've done in my own region over the last two years.
glad we finally got him over here.

Alright Boudy has gotten on board.

Hello to all and thanks for the warm welcome. As mentioned, some of you know me from CMC and a few big events like last year's NASA Nationals. But for those who don't my name is Robert Boudreaux and I race CMC in the NASA TX Region. I currently run a Mustang and I'm building a 3rd Gen Camaro for next season.

As owner of Argent Lab, I strive to make it different from the other 72,346 parts vendors already after your hard earned dollars. Step 1 is pricing, I try to offer group buys, discounts, contingencies, and any other thing we can think of. We also realize that price alone does not build a successful company. It takes service and flexibility which these guys can tell you, I put alot of effort into serving my customer's needs. Step 2 is that I'm absolutely worthless if I can only sell you the same products that everyone else does so I spend alot of time in CAD comming up with new and improved go-fast parts that no body else offers. Currently for GM cars, we offer the following:

Spherical Lower Control Arm Bushings for the 3rd Gen that press into the
factory A-arms with no modifications.

Offset Upper Control Arm Bushing for the 4th Gen that allow for more Camber.


My drawing board also has Spherical Lower Contral Arm Bushings for the 4th Gen on the way that won't require welding and some really sweet billet LCAs for the rear that are also fitted with spherical bearings.

Finally, I offer radio packages that the average racer can actually afford and I'm not afraid to give you guys some of the best GP prices you've ever seen.

Boudy

Howdy,

What's the target pricing on the 4th gen LCA spherical bearing kit? Timeframe?

I've got a spare set of arms and was going to make one myself, but I'd prefer to buy if the price wasn't exhorbitant like the GW setup is.

Oh, and welding is just fine with me. :-)

Mark

Welcome Argent Labs! The local (Texas) CMC boys sure do speak highly of you!

When you catch some time please post up some radio system pricing. My system is almost 10 years old and not doing so well and I'm sure others would be interested to know what some average packages contain and price out at.


Costas
cars and such...

I met Boudy at Hallet, what a great dude. I know he will take care of you guys and me when I get the coin for my radios.

With the Nationals coming up, I won't be able to touch the 4th gen project until after. I expect to have prototypes to show in 60 days.

Welding is actually the biggest problem with the GW kit. They use teflon bearings and the heat from welding kills them. Otherwise, their price point just North of $300 is actually not too bad. I hope to have my set price south of $300 but it's just too early to tell.

Boudy

Give me a couple more days, I'm working on a Frrax members deal. List for a complete 3 watt 2-way kit is $585. We use only FCC radios, no FRS/GMRS.

Thanks,

Boudy
