Title: Toughness of a crash Post by: jasonr70002 on October 04, 2009, 12:59:44 PM Hey all can a crash box handle an injected VK engine. I won't be doing burnouts and the like and just thought I would ask if it will hold up or not.

Where have I gone wrong. I don't think they really changed gears, more like - get going, chuck it in top and then race. Gwuthie Title: Re: Toughness of a crash Post by: simins on October 08, 2009, 09:45:16 PM they used 3 speed syncro gearboxs behind v8 speedway cars not grey motor crash boxes
