how many people are still running their stock rod with these hop ups?how long has it held up?how many had the stock rod and tore their stuff up?

 

I tore mine up after about 3 tanks of gas!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] I should of gone with a Carrillo rod the first time!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] There are other guys on here that are running stock rods with no problems. I wasn't that lucky though!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Whitebread- I push 67hp on a stock rod, dollarbillz runs nos on a stock rod, crafty runs 65hp on a stock rod, raptorboy 673 runs stock rod. I have zero concerns on mine. We run all the time. I think carrillo is a waste of money. That thing ways a ton more than stock. I think some of these failures are do to the shops working on them. Maybe the beat the crap out of them getting the clips out?? Who knows?? I ride with 20 rappy's , all built and zero failures. IMO a waste of money.

 

I still got my stock rod. I was at glamis today racing up olds and damn, there was only two people I didnt beat.... I could have but I can't do crap for the whoops, A alba shee and a trinity raptor. If I would have had 10 more feet... So I got myself a banshee eater, you will be happy with the mods too. BTW thems predators suck

 

Hey 14mins..
I sent a you PM about a JE piston. Haven't got a response. Just wondering if you got it.

 

Stock Rod. Better not have any problems. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

Well, I lost a stock rod on a mild 11.1 comp small cammed 102mm bore. I have personally witnessed 2 other rods fail on stock bore 10.5-1 comp mild cammed motors too!
I do have a few buds that are still using a stock rod and have never had any issues, but if and or when a rod goes, WATCH OUT!!!!! AT high R's it ain't pretty!!!!! Take the cost of your motor work and multiply it by at a minimum 3!!!!!!

I don't wish bad on anybody, but it's happened to more then just a few Rap owners.

Has anyone had a problem with the Carillo? Might be worthwhile insurance.

 

Swytak- glad you logged back on. I am tired of arguing with airrappy. lol Sorry to hear about your accident

 

Swy- That just made me feel better!!!!!! I was starting to think I overreacted on my decision to go with a Carrillo rod!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
