Anyone running one of these kits? What was the ride like?

 

quadloco is bolting his 733 together now.i can tell you this hes not to happy with them.mabey hell fill in the blanks.quadloco heres your chance to vent.

 

What problem is he having?

 

well to start with he had some communication problems with what he wanted done,not to big a deal but added more down time.then he got his crank back and it was too wide,twisted,and had too much runout.so he sent it back and asked them to narrow the crank up a certain spec,instead the made it narrower than what he asked for, not really a big deal except he had to order a new crank endplay shim=more down time.in the mean time he had the crank re-cked after samcoe told him it was within a half a thousands.it was not.it was still twisted .002 and had .004 runout.so he had a local shop staighten it out.on a side note the rod they use appears to be identical to my stock raptor rod i replaced with a carrilo.the stock rappy rod has been know to fail on built non stroked raptor motors.so with the extra piston speed of a +5mm ds who knows if itll hold up.samecoe doesnt do their own crank work,i guess they farm it out.the work they did themselves looks pretty good.it is kinda funny though he was told when he orderd it it was 102mm bore and plus 5mm stoke.720cc.he got a 103mm bore,+5mm stoke,didnt really complain but seems sad their salesman doesnt know what hes selling.

 

Good input. how did the nikasil look? I have hear of some of the coating chipping?

 

i really didnt look at the cylinder that close,just kinda glanced at it.quadloco did a real nice job of polishing the outside though,lol

 

I guess someone had to get the first few kits. Every new product is gonna have its glitches. As long as They stand behind their product with good service and fast returns they will get better and better.

 

his motor was the 5th one they built.when he gets to ride it im shure hell post the results.the race is set 727raptor vs 733ds

 

Sounds like a good race. They should do it on a drag strip also.

 

i hope its a tie,or real close,if i beat him he'll be twisting on them lectron needles all day trying to get a edge,hehe
