Who had them, when will they be available or should a person build there own dosnt seem to difficult. should i persue issue any one else interested??

do a search , but ive ben working on them, i have one in my track and am presueing a patent . if somthing happens with the patent ill probably put a do it yourself kit togather.  

I would definately be interested in a twin stick if it were available. What kind of time frame costs you looking at. I would kill to have a twin.

im still waiting on my prints, gave them to a enigineer to draw up on auto cad and after their done i can submit them, have everything else done. then i need to start turning parts out . i should have a couple done in a couple weeks . to give to a couple of people to test. id say a couple of months i should be able to sell at least all the parts to do it yourself. my goal is under $100

my goal is under $100

You will need to make a LOT at that price

I should have a couple done in a couple weeks . to give to a couple of people to test.

I will volunteer to test a set?!?!?!?!?!?
Wait, our poor little sami isn't even got a motor yet.
We live pretty close (colorado) so once the mountains thaw out we should have the motor in.

I think these are for Track/Kicks

I'd be a willing tester, if I had a
running Kick to test them in

i couldnt wait played in shop  today, bang twin sticks were born!!  not that bad to build . patt' pend. ohh.  whell dont want to step on toes; but these work great . think people should have op..  ready   now   no pat pend . my version 100.  or less will know on tues.  will ready for purchase buy the end of the week                                                                                                             dont mean to step on toes !!!

never said it was hard ,im just trying to get my ducks in a row so everything is made from new parts and out of quality parts .and im worried about the legestic side of things , as steping on someone elses toes that may get me sued for everything i dont have . if i wasnt i would have started produceing them a month agow
their is a patent on twinsticks but i dont know what the details of the patent are until i submit , im just trying to keep myself out of trouble .

Heck my 53 has twin sticks from the factory, I thought that after so many years it was open season? I'm not sure if the old patent would be vehicle specific.

  if you are not reproducing a product ( the same exact) i dont think a pat. is there to break. twin stick for a tracker. there for you or i should run  with it. untill the big money boys do!!

Sorry to report that after doing a patent search for you that it has already been done. Different vehicle application but it has already been patent and any other spin offs would be considered an infringement to the original patent. (lawsuit)
 


Here's a site they're selling these things from, maybe you could contact them and work something out with them to do your model for the specific application you want to apply it to...a possible win, win situation.

CZ put this in a post . thats a big reasion ive taken so long , that and if theirs a big demand and i have to sub out parts i will have accurate drawings . im just looking out for my best interests .
but i am interested to see what you have come up with .

well i was wondering why the big boys havent . their is probably a reason they sell a 2low kit and not a twinstick  :-/ this threw a red flag up for me ,becouse as you and i know it would take less machine work for a twinstick than a 2low kit that you have to replace a shifting rod and fork. like i said trying to keep myself out of trouble .

keep out of trouble with  marlin, they have nothing for a tracker the site was about toys . dont think pats apply to diff transfer cases. trackers are free game to me !  

cant call them a TWIN STICK . I think.....
