PART #: PTK-2500 STREET PRICE: $349.99 CRANKSHAFT Protek RC delivers race-quality craftsmanship starting with the outstanding black, hard-coated crankshaft. Knife-edged, scooped, slugged, and filled, it is everything we have come to expect in the highest quality competition components. I especially like the hard coating used on this piece, as it really extends the life of the crank pin—often one of the weaker links in micro-engines because it commonly wears faster than any other component in the engine. The hard coating definitely slows this process dramatically. CRANKCASE I’m detecting a theme here, and I think it’s black. Everything black. The finely cast crankcase is covered with cooling fins and is anodized black. Precision work has been focused on the intake port that leads to the crankshaft inlet window, leaving no stone unturned. One of my only beefs with this engine is the somewhat generic branding of the 321B and Protek RC logo on the sides of the crankcase. Petty, I know, but I would have expected a little more flash here.
