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.

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

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?

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.

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
