Sure was ! it works nice ! smooth and durable and corrosion proof ! With our plating method you get close to an extra 6 to 8 litres on the crank pin before the ti starts to wear. Thats in its break in period so by the time its all gone the pin is still in great shape. We also digitally measure the pin for concentricity and then hone it if its not perfect. Makes for a real smooth motor and real slow pin and rod wear.
Hey here are some piccys of our latest project , Its a shumacker fusion with a CMB motor i completely rebuilt from scratch. The crank and case you see in the above pic is that motor. We will be putting a 1/8 body and wheels on it to get to our goal speed of 111 MPH or 177 KPH we have clocked it at 86 MPH with a modded TT21 and 1/10 scale wheels before we did all the extra gearing work.. The chassis and clutch work was done by Wolf Pack in germany .
Here is a link to the motor on the bench , we are waiting for footage of it on road.. we have tested it but need to reinforce the chassis as its tortion twisting in second and third gear..
