I did find this on tt though.

This engine has been discussed here and other places many times. Many conclude it is not a real engine. I came to that conclusion myself. I couldn't figure out how it was possible to get a crank inside a 3-piece crankcase as shown.

So about a year ago I called them and spoke to the creator. I learned the crank is actually two cranks that are coupled together. The fella provided enough detail that I hung up convinced these engines can be build and will run. The fella seemed a little rough around the edges but competent.

FWIW, I figure the pictures look so incomplete because they're showing parts that they actually fabricate or modify. Although I agree they should have more and better pictures (including a complete, installed engine). I believe I have since seen a picture of one in a drag quad. For the life of me I can't remember where or I would try and find it.

Based on my phone conversation, I'm not sure the folks at TrickRacing care whether or not they are loosing marketing value by not better representing the engine on their web page.

So believe it's real or don't. I'm just sharing my story with why I didn't and then did (and still do) believe they are real engines.

$0.02

why would you not believe it is real?

wr250f95 · 01-06-2008, 07:00 PM

I fully believe it is real, but others here are not so sure.

tigmaster · 01-06-2008, 08:10 PM

people do plenty of crazy things and this may as well be one.

wr250f95 · 01-06-2008, 08:41 PM

i only have doubts because we never heard anything about it! also, dont you think youtube would be flooded with videos if it was true?

wr250f95 · 01-10-2008, 06:03 PM
