I think is mostly high grade steel and carbon fibre, not at all irony.

Which site were you looking at ? It could be 10w40 or KY
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

shipping will be extra.. this is the base price for the unit... the prospective buyer will need to buy input/output flanges

Update:
*Overdrive gears have been shipped to be heat-treated (induction hardened); I'm waiting the status / shipping date.
* Any BEC owners in the North/South Carolina? I'm looking for a tester immediately. I have a special incentive for the tester.
Over the past several days I've been thinking about the reverse unit and pricing once again. I developed a business model that supports a
reasonable initial price-point and offer services that hopefully will make potential buyers happy in the long-term. So I will overview the
R-Falcon features and business model:
R-Falcon Features:
*1:1 Forward, 1:1.25 overdrive and reverse (dog-meshing for forward, overdrive is just gear-to-gear - doesn't support dynamic shifting on the
fly)
*Aluminum bearing housings /w carbon-fiber/Kevlar cover
*Epoxy sealed unit - this guarantees no leaks after some unsuccessful attempts to use O-ring seal on the CF/Kevlar cover to the aluminum housings.
Purchaser/owner will not be able to disassemble the unit due to the epoxy sealing which is further explained in my business model below.
* Supports up to 250hp/120 ft torque when using the Robinson Industries Heavy-Duty output shafts (28mm x 13 spline vs the oem 25mm x 13 spline) - I
contacted Bill Robinson about becoming an authorized reseller of the heavy-duty output shaft and we're going to partner-up. The only issue is
finding the prop adapter to match the bigger spline profile. They make the counter-sprocket for the bikes but I need to source the prop adapter - I
may have a source in mind.
I recommend purchasing a resilient torque shaft for the front (engine to unit) to mitigate the BEC "clank" experience. I've driven
my car with a FR2000 Eurotech box, my prototype and the R-Falcon; I still seem to have that experience occasionally regardless of the reversing
unit.
Business Model:
1. Buyers can purchase a new reverse unit for $1100.00 (£717.64). The units include everything necessary to integrate with the BEC car except for two
prop flange adapters (separate purchase).
2. (Optionally) buyer may purchase a gearbox "rebuild kit" services $250.00 (£163.10) + shipping. This will allow the buyer to have the
unit service rebuilt by us due to bearing wear or other issues. It kind of gives you a warranty/insurance. $250.00 will include:
Inspection of the unit
New bearings pressed in
New CF/Kevlar cover
New oil drain/fill bungs
New shift mount boss oil seal
Original shift mount boss will be retained
Original fill/drain bolts retained
Original shift lever retained
Box is resealed, tested and shipped back to customer. Customer needs to retain original shipping box/crate.
I think this model is fair and is competitive in pricing with the "other" units out there. Again, the rebuild service is optional and can
be purchased anytime, and it does allow one to extent the service life of the unit, protecting the initial $1100.00 investment. The "guarantee
no leak" is the main directive behind the new business model
Finally, we will not offer refund/warranties on the unit (as other don’t offer due the nature the use) but we'll offer "No DOA (dead of
arrive) time period" clause/terms of use.
Thanks,
Ryan

Am I reading right that you can't change into overdrive while you are moving?

Correct. I've done some prelimenary testing in attempt and its a hit or miss. Overdrive engagement isnt dog-mesh similar to bike shifting.
Overdrive down to forward 1:1 is possible but from forward to overdrive will lock 95% of the time, especially at high rpms
Overdrive is intended to road crusing, foward 1:1 is normal as all the other reverse unit do.
Maybe I'll redesign the unit down the road to accommodate this feature.
I'm gonna try to post a youTube video tonight/tomorrow going through shifting of the box -- stay tuned..
Hats off to Chris Gamblin's Bike ratio /speed calculation tool! I modified it to include the R-Falcon reverse unit..
BEC ratios speed using reverse units

If you can't change into the overdrive on the roll it sounds like it needs some more development?

Not at this pricing point. The main driver behind the current design is to simply offer an overdrive gear in which Quaife, MNR nor Nova offer at the
present time. The dynamic shifting required for overdrive will be considered, but just not in this release.
Again, my main objectives derived four years ago where as follows:
1) Develop a reversing solution which could potential be sold under $1000.00 USD . We're can possibly get under that pricing point once we
tweek the manufacturing process and re-coupe the initial R&D costs
2) Offer a badly needed overdrive gear to: a) reduce crusing rpms/noise (better fuel effieciency  ) , b) faster top-end
In the states it's hard to find a donor vehicle with a rear differential ratio < 3.62. 4.11 in a BEC at 1:1 in the reverse unit will be
quicker
off the line but max out top-end around 110mph. 1990's Subaru Imprezas, Legacies and SVX offered these ratios in the US:
Impreza/WRX 3.89 expensive for the 3.89 from a WRX, 4.11
Legacy: 3.89 visious LSD (Turbo) Hard to find, 4.11
SVX 3.54 ( hard to find)
Others vehicles: mainly live axles with > 4.x ratio
I luckily found a 1992 Legacy Turbo with a 3.89 visious LSD back in 2003.
Price and feature compare the R-Falcon against the competitors and you'll see that we have a solid deal. Our product just hasnt been proven as
of yet.
Cheers,
Ryan
