not so fast Phil keep in mind all this power is pretty linear through shafts (which easily handle the power) in a straight line only making a direction change a single time at the lower and in outdrives like bravos the upper is the weak link, the lowers are pretty durable, if the lowers on these are adapted XR stuff it would fall within range i would think.

I'll be getting the first set of 500Rs to hit Skater - whenever that may be.

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
