Me and Mo were the only ones in the 26 lap club and the only ones to pull 12.0 laps last week. Just because I had some body tuck problems in the main doesn't mean you were faster
It's me and bigdog vs you this week

Qualifying isn't much if you don't do well in the main. It's like taking your sister to the prom...
It's still you and me against bigdog. Nothing has changed!!!! Thanks for loaning me a pack to try. See you next week if you're racing both days.

Mako.....
Is it me or does none of the stock motors that Fukuyama puts out have a dyno sheet to see specs?I was at All speed hobbies and noticed none of them had a sheet.Most racers will bypass these motors if they dont know what they are getting.

well, i for one will try it anyway... i have been totally impressed with the product from the Fukuyama guys.
i have several motors that were "tuned" by someone else, with a pretty good printout... but the fastest one i have was straight outta the package!
im not for sure that "dyno = track performance" completely...

I agree.. I got a motor from Team 1 and on paper, the motor was a dog... put it in my car and WOW! it was fast... I don't believe the papers much anymore..
Also, I got one of the Mako motors and it is awesome!

I understand your stance,but most people are stuck on these little sheets.I for one tune my own motors so the printout is irrelevant after the first run.But in order to get people to buy, almost all companies put in a sheet for thier PRO motors.Thats how it goes.I had bought 2 Fukuyama 1.18 packs last week in the shop I saw the mako motors in,and the people looking at the Makos were saying why would I buy a motor without a dyno sheet when I can buy a Standard Monster and a set of 767's and make the motor just as fast for 5 dollars cheaper.Maybe Daniel or his team guys can answer why there are no dyno sheets.They obviously were dynoed at some point.

I see your point and will leave it at that..

Does a piece of paper that states the specs of a motor that important?
Difference companies use different dynos to test and tuned their motors. So wats the fuss?
A good example is in the GP class. Why does some engine has hp on it while other (RB) only shows stars as the engine rating?
I believe Dan and the guys over at Fukuyama believe that their motors are one of a kind and irrelevent to what you might compared it too.
Just my humble opinion.
Peace

As for motors, any one of those motors on shelves at the hobby stores or ordered through us. I can assure you that I would be proud to run as my own personal motor. With that said, hope you guys continue to support Fukuyama Racing. Thanks.

The problem was with first batch of motors, we wanted it to launch as soon as possible while our printer was not set up yet. In our future motors a dyno label will be included. Hope this clarified some of the confusion there have.

My question is relevant and Dan cleared it up.Thanks Dan.If you think I am trying to start trouble here,thats funny.I started this thread way back when.Why would I buy Fukuyama Batteries if I thought he was trying to rip me off?LOL
But your saying that Dyno sheets are irrelevant is like saying Battery labels are no help either.

I am not saything that they are irrelevant, I am saying that they don't always show the trueness of the motor.
I bought a P2K Pro that on paper looked awesome, I put in the car and it was a bomb... Like I said with the Team 1 motor, when I got it and looked at the dyno sheet, it looked like a bomb, but after I ran it, it was a different story.
All I am saying is that you cannot always go by a 'sheet'... go with what works and by reputation. I bought this motor strickly on the fact that so many vouched for them. If they hadn't, I wouldn't have touched it with 10' pole...
not trying to start anything.. just relaying my experience in the years that I have been racing... also, it is ok to disagree...

racenut123. Sorry for being too short on my explanation.
What i mean is sometimes different labels from different tuners will come out with different numbers. So does some matchers. Wat i mean is irrelevant is when u compare the numbers to other tuners. Sometimes the numbers doesnt tell the real story with the performance. Again i apologise if i have offended you in anyway.
