    I guess that is why I have never heard of them. I stay away from E-Fraud.
    The home of very positive feedback posted by individuals opening the box for the first time long before they go and use it.
    "Delivered on time. Parts look great. I can't wait to use it. A++++++++seller."
    Give me a fuggin break.
    Not to mention that 99% of these people really don't know what to look for when inspecting a crank. It's shiny, clean, and brand new, so it must be bitchen!

    This is off the subject but I work in a testing facility and we test all sorts of things including bolts from China. We have continually found their bolts or at least the batches we test for industry to be about 10% strong then from other manuafacturers. Cheap China junk? Not in the bolts we tested.
    I personally run a eagle crank in my 540. The literature that came with the crank claim it is good for 1500 horse.

    I got my recipricating assembly off Hard Core Racing in 03. They use to use Scat but switched to Eagle because the quality was better and they could internaly balance the Eagle without heavy metal.

    if you have to use heavy metal to balance a Scat crank, your buying the wrong Scat crank. Their 4 inch stock rod length crank is ment to be external, if you step up to the -4 crank for 6.385 rod it will internal very easily. Eagle internal 4" crank for the stock rod has a pork chop hanging off the flywheel flange that I would accept on a 4.5" crank and thats how they internal it, if you want to call that internal? If that was any way to balance a crank, don't you think G.M. would have done the same thing. My Scat has a clover leaf light weight flywheel flange and internal balanced with zero metal
    and 900 gram rod

    I don't know what your plans are for this crank (RPM)? Please save yourself the trouble and purchase a crank that is well known!!!! Scat, Crower,
    L.A. Enterprises etc... RPM is on e-bay and cheap for a reason, CHEAP CHINA CRAP!!! I know some people will purchase them thinking they saved some money? When their on the lake buzzing around having a good old time, then the crank lets go!! WOW now they have to spend double the money to repair everything and purchase a real crank!!
    cheers
    Hey Russ, I agree, I also like the saying "only cry once" Like me crying hard and long but hopefully only once
