Not Ranked
I know you are busy but couple of quick questions
Keithc8 Keith I guess that the problem with Scat cranks breaking if the questionable materials they use and machine processes done. Here's the questions
Like you been racing a long time, I know that theses companies are still around, LAE, Callies, Hank the crank, and Velesco. I know they cost about 3-500.00 more. Is there a problem with dealing with them???
Do the companies (above) get their blanks from China too?
Do the companies above do a different process and treatment to the crankshafts after all the machine work is done to extend the life?
maybe it's time to reinvent the FE crank to work with a thicker snout, shorten the length, and maybe widen the bearing area to support the loads. The other idea is about having the dampener reworked to help with harmonics. I have seen cranks break at idle and 7,000 rpms, and for MOST applications think a cast crankshaft is alot more forgiven than a billet one. The more solid they are the more chance of breaking and not flexing. Hopw you had a nice holiday. Rick L.
