Bro, that power wiring alone makes that rig an Elite Master Rig. The amount of thinking and the amount of elbow grease put into this design is simply astounding. While I'm sure you're bound to make a couple of changes once put under it's paces, I'm pretty sure your first few runs are gonna leave you flabbergasted.

I am so stoked about everything you got going on. The company I work for does a large amount of the parts on the Ultrex. We also do parts on the Raptors. To know you are using these products makes me feel like I'm playing a part in the team. I may have even worked on the very equipment you are using. We will be cheering you on this season. Cheers from Wisconsin. If you get up this way I'll talk to the owners about a walk through of the factory

Ben and Coleslaw - just a quick thanks for making well thought out quality walk through vids of this rig. Bass Cat is VERY lucky to have you representing and showcasing their brand. Aside from you guys and Hunter Shryock - almost all the other pro “walk through” videos are horrible and almost unwatchable. John Crews, MDJ and others I like should have their rides revoked after watching their horrible vids. If that’s the amount of effort they put into representing the thing that literally makes them their living I sure as heck wouldn’t sponsor them. Keep it up fellas!
