Racegator Transmissions

[nova21j]

Has anyone seen these Racegator trannys in use or heard about anyone using them. $1000 for a new one is cheap enough if they are any good. Thanks

Never heard of them. The cartoon looking picture of the transmission and then this link to their fine cylinder head products http://www.racegators.com/ProductsView.asp?id=179 would keep me from doing any business with them. The product description on the cylinder head gave me a good laugh haha.

And then of course the About Us. Poorly translated into English, lol.

the pic they have is a brinn... Maybe they copied it and found a way to produce it cheaper. let us know how it goes

[C10]

Yup def a Brinn knockoff

Looks very sketchy to me. Especially the way they are trying to copy themselves as DAY motorsports. I wouldn't be anything. I doubt you get any products.

Seen one yesterday at the scottsburg auction. Looked like a very nice piece. I plan to give one a try next season.

it is a brinn copy made in china.the one I saw was priced at 1100 just over the price of a used brinn. I would be interested to see how long they last from what I've seen as a machinest the chines don't cast aluminum very well it's very briltal and looks like it has a lot of filler materials in it.


it you buy one keep us posted on how it works out for you.

Actually they are the winning secret behind every major victory in both the 2010 and 2011 season.....with a deal like that you should scoop them all up before the rest of us catch on....lol

I would use a different word in describing this unit,and that is JUNK!I know of a couple racers that have tried them,and the results were this.One racer put it,yes they are cheap,but if they come apart while racing there no good at all.I have replaced mine with a reputable mfg.unit.

Crap.......Junk.......6 of 1 half dozen of another.......

A brand new Falcon is only $1099, why do Chinee?

[Chaps46]

I find that funny.........you sure that Falcon isn't made in China? I guarantee you that at least 50% of all new race parts on your car are Chinese. Us fat greedy Americans are just to lazy to do our research and find that out. Just because it is sold by a reputable retailer like Speedway/AFCO/Winters etc. we think they r 'merican so they'll only sell 'merican stuff! They are in it to make a buck! Would you rather buy a $20 set of stamped steel valve covers or $100 for the same set stamped buy 'merican dude that pulls a handle all day and makes $40 an hours. Retarded........

[joeltjen]

go ahead and buy that chinese COPY of a product that was researched and developed in AMERICA. the next time you're at your local track and see all those empty seats, think of all the AMERICAN workers out of a job because of all this JUNK from china!!! while you're at it , do me a favor, see how many of those chinese are in the stands watching you race

Where do you get one for that price, Speedway has them from $1,749.99 - $1,974.99

[JCSullivan00]

Just saw a Falcon on Speedway for $1200. I think you were looking at the ballsplines.

So I guess we should all stop buying bert transmissions too since they arent american made? You are beating a dead horse, The american way is to buy whats cheap and if the racegator turns out to be as good as a brinn for $500 less then you are going to start seeing alot of them at your local dirt tracks.

For guys on a budget cheap isn't always the best route. I am racing on a shoestring budget and it's a never ending learning process of what to buy and where to buy it. Saving $500 now on a piece that might last half the time, is not a gamble I will make. That may not be the case for everyone. I am far to conservative to take a chance on a product (regardless of where it was made), and to buy from a website like that. No chance at customer support or refunds. I would much rather buy from dependable vendors with English speaking representatives that pick up the phone when you call. I also like to support my local speed shops. I don't have a problem paying an extra few bucks to buy something locally. The local speed shops and parts trailers provide a very valuable service. And I support them if I can.

For me, and my budget. Racegator is not a place I would do business. It's not American made, it's not an American vendor or a local vendor.
