There is gonna come a time, me thinks, when one of thse launches is going scramble the bits......the only question is will the bits be still inside the case.
But hay, he's already gotten his money's worth....as did I. A couple cracked intermediate plate roller cages is all that ever went wrong with it and they were discovered when the trans was torn down for rework. I wonder how much wind-up takes place on that mainshaft. I'd bet it's close to a full turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Is the 901 tough? You decide. |

Matt Lowrance, a great mechanic, said the 901 would work up to about 250hp on track cars. Let's see, Britain is about 325hp , at the wheels, but a revised 901 configuration running AX. So tough to reach a conclusion other than JP build a great box. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
