Man these things have noisy engines!!!! I picked mine up yesterday and drove mine (Cannibal) and then drove a 2 hour old speed both had noisy engines so I take the engine is noisy by design.

Don't worry, they all sound like that, almost sounds like a deisel tractor.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I asked the Tech guy about the noise, Straight cut gears (poor mans blower) and lots of them, short timing chain, designed to be a unique sound, boy that hit that on the head. I can barely hear when someones talking to me.

I went to the track today for practice,and every body I ran up on was entimadated by the sounds.U can tell they would start making mistakes and looking back to see wtf going on behind them.I love the sound.

 

I do believe my cannibal engine has gotten quieter. and smoother, and faster too. No kidding.

 

I was told a long time ago it's due to the cassette transmission the C'dales have. Because our C'dales have a separate housing for the transmission, unlike all other quads, this is where most of that noise is contributed to. Don't know if that's true or not but that's what I was told.
