Elcon Fourtex

[MonsterAir]

Any Elcon guys in the bunch? Came across the Fourtex and looks super interesting. Curious to when it came out and who sells them besides going direct.

How do you start that thing??

I was wondering the same thing.

They are an amazing piece of kit, but I think they really are for racing pros only. I think direct is the only way to buy them new. The planetary gears are a genius idea.

I wouldn’t recommend one for massive upgrades though mostly because you’d have to make the parts yourself. It would be interesting but supremely expensive, even by the top standards on here.

Fyi heres how you start them.

Slides into a hole on the front planetary assembly.

It's really not that complicated. It's an electric starter they offer it in 2 models the other isnt listed for fourtrex
