Cat fight! Calm down kiddos. It could all come down to setup. 2 more pages before this thread gets locked. I got 10.00 on it.

Had the price point been tipped in favor of either of the two other manufacturers mentioned in this thread, you would still find TPE motors in my RN and Freak.

c'mon jeff, really.. was that even a question?
...Anyways my response was direct to brians question. I can only go by my experience. And its wasn't the motors i was comparing it was the tuners...

I've got a better chance at running over a Sasquatch while riding a Unicorn, than any engine on the X does of living up to its hype.

LMAO, unfortunately that may be true, and it would be your fault according to some of the responses from builders. Hey I'm happy for the satisfied customers and sorry for the guys that aren't. Y'all have fun

I have no witty retort about any of this so... All I can say is this thread has made me laugh, smile in disbelief, weep for the future, and in general be kind of like.... Hmmmm. Here is a pic of an early TPE prototype
Keith couldn't hold onto it either.

Be very careful what you believe is right. The guy that sold me the engine will remain anonamous but i was straight lied to. Comparing a running engine to one that failed quickly. The truth is all i'm spilling out here. Oh believe me when i purchased a tpe i believed all sorts of people but the truth was a whole different story for me. let me leave a way out. The engine i got never, never ran right so comparing my xs1000 with a perfectly balanced adr crank to a junky breaking down tpe isnt fair. Disregard all my previous lies. Lmao

You do realize that there's no possible way to equate these two completely different engines, with completely different setups, and entirely different tuners, with a butt-dyno right?

A stroker is always better until the point were you start going undersquare.
But your not just comparing equal cylinders here. The tpe is light years ahead in regard to cylinder design.
Can you guys stop pumping up cast cylinders, its pushing the price back up

As I'm sure you already know I tend to stay away from this kind of stuff. In my years on here I have done my best to be respectful of others and avoid drama. Jeff, I even defended you in your hull thread at one point when everyone else was hating on you. As a business man, I would work very quickly to resolve an issue before it escalates to this. I would also give others the same respect and avoid giving false info or playing into the bashing of another man's product.
Truth be told, your TPE engine did not work out for you. I'm sorry to hear that, but there are many other satisfied customers that can speak highly of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you get a refund for the motor after it went bad? If that is the case, I would say they stood behind their product. I didn't once hear you mention that. If your going to spread the bad, be sure and tell the whole story. Good luck to you in your endeavors.

Oh just mention the crook trendsetters and the thread will be locked.
Eric is smooth as silk with his customer service. Nobody really wants to hear the whole story. I'm keeping alot back. Ya, got engine fixxed and sent back was planning on running it but got told some lies so i decided i was through. I sold it back to them and gave them that option rather than me sell it outright. It looks better and keeps the market there(business sense) bottom line is erik is a good guy trying to make some sweat engines. I was just part of a SERIES of unfortunate events. Brian, why the beef here. We're good. Im good with erik too. He tried his damndest to get me straightened out. His engine didnt fit my application. Maybe youll see me running a tpe in the future.

No business will ever have 100% happy customers but they can have 100% satisfied customers.
