    Racegator Transmissions

    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.

    Crew Chief "Tip of the day":
    Most handling problems can be solved by adjusting the screw-ball. It can be difficult to fine tune at times. Explaining yourself loudly and striking it on top of the helmet with a dead blow hammer usually works well.

          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.
                    you just got greased

                            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........

                              chinese....REALLY!!!!!!!

                              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
