Just when you thought the prototype crank (existing team driver motors) was sexy - take a look at the production model being pumped out for the first batch of motors due out in a few days
Now that is a sexy thing

looks great, just ordered II engine today and 2072 pipe, cant wait

hells yes! looks like we changed back to epoxy too. The earliest versions had a white epoxy, then they switched it to a clear RTV silicon, now we're back to epoxy. Just shows what constant testing and validation does!

Really liking the new setup. For those of you that are curious, or have run the last of the prototypes, the crank is the same shape. The only changes between the last prototypes is the coating and the epoxy.

REALLY excited... it's almost time!

Right on!!!!!!!!!!!! can hardly wait!!!

I just ordered dual ceramics for one of my gx's arendt running dual?

That clear coating looks kinda black? J/K the crank looks good.

Yep, I run both front and rear ceramics in my good race motor.
The front ceramics take a bit of shock loading fron the starter box wheels and can have a shorter life than the stock steel ones, but they are not expensive and I reckon the extra cost of more regular replacement of the front bearing is worth the performance gain you get from running ceramics in both front and rear.

can you drop a 7 port piston and sleeve into a 3 port case? thanks

yes

Thank You Sir, saves me a little dough at the get go.

sorry i forgot about the second part of my inquiry. Can you drop a 7port P/S in a 3port case? Would it improve the performance any? thanks again

The case is the same on the 3 port race and the 7 port. The 3 port sport is a similar case but no milling inside for extra air flow. It will still work if it is a sport case but may lose a little performance.

How often are you replacing them? Are the ceramics giving more top end or just better all around performance?

Hmm - couldn't really give you any definite time frame. It depends on how much racing I do. I tend to change my bearings every 3 gallons of track time (or sooner if they feel notchy of course), but 3 gallons of actual racing is a lot of tanks.
To be honest, I haven't really noticed that much difference in wear personally. That starter box shock loading is something I have been told about, but I think that would also depend on how you have your starter box set up to the flywheel.
I have had a set of Answer ceramics in my MG for ages now, no problems at all.
They give a quicker spool up, and a little more performance all round. Slightly better fuel economy too, due to the lowered rolling resistance of the bearing.
