The only Bullet proof engine and gear box setup that I know of is the Titan which I sell and that is why I sell it. That is the reason I do not sell the in frame 4 stroke setup. Not yet. I have an in Frame 4 stroke In Beta Test with Gear box set up similar to the Titan and it is an inline setup with direction the same as the engine. It too is bullet proof but is still in Beta test. It will not become available until next year spring some time. Until then.. I do not know what to tell you except this. If the in frame 4 stroke engines with gear boxes were a good setup, we would be selling them. You can go to my website and see that we are not selling them. Axiomatic. There may be a guy or two out there for what ever reason has lucked out and got a setup that works. But again.. We do not sell them. That should tell you a lot. Thanks..Enjoy the ride... |
Dax, I'm aware that the so-called Grubee gearbox is a step above the Hoot one that I got, but the Grubee gearbox was the one I was SUPPOSED to get, but that's an old story. I'm sure the Grubee would have failed too. I'm fairly certain the only truly dependable gearboxes are strictly American-made ones like you and Staton have. If I could simply buy one of those good quality gearboxes and bolt on my engine, I'd be doing great, but the way you guys are set up, it's an entire kit or nothing, so there's that big gray zone. Staton's might bolt on to the engine I have, but probably wouldn't fit in with my frame mount setup. Since the Chinese are actually making decent engines, it would be nice to be able to have a source for a good gearbox to go with them. In my case, I'm out over $300 for a kit, but if you don't have all the parts, it's worthless. I can't go fork out another $400 for an entirely new kit and buy another engine just like what I have. All those $$$ add up quickly.
