locogato11283 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 I figured it might be a crank issue. My buddy has been waiting on his 450r crank from Crankworks for like 2 or 3 months now. Quote
banshee332 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 I knew Jim would chim in sooner or later. It will be worth the wait that's for damn sure. Quote

special06shee Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 I understand that with back ordered parts there is nothing that can be done but wait. With that said, quick down around times are not necessarily a "wham-bam" build! I had redline do a complete 10cub build from scratch. He also spent quite a bit of time on his dyno to ensure it was just right! The motor was out of my hands for just under a month. Thats with shipping from pa to Oregon and back. I can assure you that its not a "wham-bam" motor! Now maybe i send the motor to him at just the right time, dunno?? Quote
10milmike Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 wham-bam!!!!! Thats a good shop. Any motor will take time if u want it done right. my 535 took 5 mo's... and it was well worth the wait. Quote

When I was there in February Cameron had a 10mm crank on hand, that he actually sold the day I showed up. It's probably hit and miss on parts. I know most builders don't stock 10 of everything, but they do keep at least one on hand just in case. The 10mm Cub is a pretty common motors these days. I'm guessing you hit Cam at just the right time. When you're dealing with cranks, you had better be prepared to wait. CW has horrible lead times. Even for the builders, they can take months. All of our billet cased DMs were 4-5 month builds. Cylinder, crank and cases all took a long time. That's just how it is. 535 Cheetah isn't a fucking 4mm Cub with cranks, pistons and cylinders readily available. I applaud Jim for doing the RIGHT thing and getting the rods changed, even though it's taking longer than the customer wants. He should be commended for that, not ragged on by a bunch of fucking idiots that think they should have custom built motors in a week. Quote
special06shee Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 By no means was i ragging on passion. Just making a point that all quick turn arounds arent wham-bam jobs. And yes, Cam had the crank in stock so all parts were readily available. And ya better not of been referring to me as a fucking idiot! Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 And ya better not of been referring to me as a fucking idiot! Wow, sounds like a challenge to a forum cat fight. Are you a fucking idiot? Most people don't get mad unless it's true. Quote
