Ive not used them and I dont know who produces them for John, but they are certainly going to be stronger and lighter than standard and when you consider the price of purchasing standard parts then modifying them, they work out to be pretty good value.
I seriously doubt it! |

i think it might be wise to go with the tried and tested method of MED by the sounds of it

There have never been any breakages to these rods that we have heard of, and I'm sure we would have heard about it- if they have broken its through user neglect or incorrect fitment. We supply a very well respected tuner wihh these rods and they are only used in race mini engines - without incidence.

bad words spread fast in the mini community, if someone has thrown a rod im sure it would have been all over the clubs and double sure johnk would have redesigned if for what ever reason to prevent it Edited by Brett on 12th Jul, 2010. Yes i moved to the darkside |
