The crank counterweight  it NOT round, many many other ways but this is the biggest thing you can see

What do you mean by "not round"?

Thank you, Jerry

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?

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.
