Confused about BEC TRT advise
Evening,
I've recently stripped the engine and prop from the car for some well deserved winter mods. I'm planning to have a TRT made, however the
company I asked said anything with a sequential gearbox will eventually chew the TRT to pieces. Now I explained I've seen many BEC powered cars
with TRTs and never heard of this issue. I said maybe CEC this was a possibility? They were pretty confident, hence I left slightly bewildered and
none the wiser. Surely the torque isn't that powerful ?
I've browsed every single post for the past few hours and found nothing but good feedback about TRTs.
Any advice is always appreciated.
Cheers

I guess it depends if your prop is long enough, IIRC 600mm is the recommended minimum tube rubber tube 'bit'.
Bailey Morris should be able to set you straight.

First time I've heard that. Mines been in for 30,000+ miles without issue. Which firm was it? Bailey Morris and Dunning&Fairbank seem happy
to do TRT shafts for BECs.

I fitted one to mine last winter,can't really say it's worth the extra money unless of course it does stop damage to the gearbox?
As the noises selecting gears/on the over run/when you go on and off throttle are not reduced by much tbh.
