The first set of 400Rs that went on Steve's blue 318 Skater had over 170 hours put on them in the first year without ANY failures - powerhead or gearcase.

I've confirmed these new motors though two different sources. I can't say for certain when they'll be available, but the picture you see of the 450R and 500R came from Mercury.
You're not gonna order those little 450's are you ???

Hahaha, you know me better than that Steve! :D I'll be getting the first set of 500Rs to hit Skater - whenever that may be. :confused:

I need to sell a LOT more golf carts. Any rumor/guess if the weight will change from 400R to 500R??

Taboma 01-17-2017 05:54 PM
Should be a software change with maybe some beefing-up of components for durability. I guess, no change in weight. Now, how about a 500# 350HP?

Should be no weight change just a pulley and up the boost simple

Maybe a pair of them there 500s on a purpose built 368?? If I was flush with cash I might try it. Wouldn't be the quickest but would fit my needs.

Wow, is it April 1st already???

I agree that these pictures are photoshopped. Zoom in on the rear and look at the 5 on the 450 and the 5 on the 500. The 5 on the 450 looks different than the 4 and 0 and the 5 on the 500 looks different than the 0's. I sure hope this is legit though
