When are they for sale...or better yet when do you release the R version? Nice work Troy. Now I understand why your project thread went cold.
-
Yea I've got a ton of stuff going on right now I haven't had a chance to work on the budget bike. I'm actually thinking of switching plans for that bike and do something way cooler for the 250r.
-
...they will be for-sale soon, they are still in testing phase. Early 2014 release date.
-
wow ,troy Im impressed
-
That is some shiney CF
-
I will take one for a 450r!!
-
Can you make a somewhat lengthy thread/post explaining the process necessary to make these? I think it would be cool to see the steps taken
-
T, I work with Jay at FWC he makes these for me. I don't actually do the CF myself. I let the experts do that, LOL! I scanned the existing boot with my 3D scanner, converted it to a CAD model then made several tweaks based on flow parameters/characteristics, then sent the model for 3D printing to create basis for the mold. These are done in an autoclave.
They will be available for the 450r soon, (couple of weeks), I need to make a few minor adjustments to the design. Unfortunately they are not direct bolt on to the stock airbox, I had to make a few simple modifications to the airbox to make these work with the stock box. My original design includes an aluminum box that will be sold as a package deal, but if someone wanted to do the required mods to the stock box I would sell the CF intake seperately.
I just thought you all would like to see some of the stuff I'm working on.
-
Very sweet. I'm assuming these will be for the 250r eventually?
-
That's some impressive work there Troy! If only it was for a 250R, so it's just Blasphemy! lol
-
Looks good tony!!

In the testing that has been done, is it made for a stock type 450 or a full modded engine.

Stock-type MX/XC motors, I have not tested the design yet, only done a fit up. Dyno testing and flowbench work is coming soon, still alot to work out. I've ran flow simulations but those are just to point you in right direction, and based upon alot of assumptions.
-
What a work of art. It inspired me to stay up all night watching videos on making molds for CF vacuum forming. The pros make it look so easy....I can't imagine how much money would be wasted trying to master the craft on your own. Good call working with Jay.
-
Nice work Troy looks nice bud. Keep up the good work
-
you are always doing cool stuff troy. soon you will be manufacturing the perfect quad. apex does some cool custom hybrids, but are not cheap. check out the 250F/450F models.

So when are we going to see pics of that 450r Troy, you know we have a 450r pics thread started in the other quads section..lol
-
Ah, I forgot about that thread. Well I just picked up from a buddy this past weekend, so I haven't had a chance to make it "mine" yet. I'd do a build thread for it but I'm sure that will go over like a turd in a punch bowl. LOL!
-
I do plan to do a build thread sort of speak on my Facebook page for Robl Engineering, that might be a better place than dirty-ing up the 250r site with 450r mallarky... :D
-
Troy, they will just have to get used to seeing 450r stuff over here. For those of us not on Facedrama, we want to see it here..lol

I not a FB fan either, but it is good for getting a following for small venture stuff like me. I don't use it much for personal stuff.
-
Well dont forget us little guys, you have a small following here too..LOL.. I can always do some promoting with the local racers also, but I will have to get my hands on a setup, you know, for a promotional tool..lol

Not much of a Facebook user either but I'm now a proud subscriber to Robl Engineering. All the Troybilt eye candy you could ever want....LOL.

LOL, thanks Bob... :D:D
Just had a 2014 YFZ-R dropped off at my doorstep to do more design work... Looks like I'll be busy this weekend.
