How to ID fox 35 hi zoot crank from stock? I have a fox 35 in possession that supposed to have all the bells and whistles . How do I know the crank is the one from Randy? The cyl head is different also.

Well, since MECOA has apparently bought out Fox engines, maybe they will. Of course, the Hi Zoot crank wasn't engineered or made by Fox, but by others, so that introduces a new factor into the equation. I wonder how many pre-orders MECOA would need to make it worthwhile for them to produce it?

Possibly.

I could use several of them.

I have been checking into making them again But I would need order of 100 to do them, or close to that
I also would look at making CNC backplates and Smith Hemi heads

The High Zoot crank and the Gardner piston & liner helped power my Fox 35 Stunt engine to a new speed record at the 2017 Brodak contest. 112.5mph from a dead stop start, 118mph actual in air speed on Powermaster GMA 10% nitro stunt fuel.The Zoot crank had to be spinning close to 20,000 rpm in the air and was smooth as silk. The third place entry also had a Zoot crank too. If you didn't go to Brodak you missed a great show.
