I can see it now.. Idleing up to a ****** rocket doing 80mph. He whacks the throttle. I smile and whack mine to 1/2 and dust him.

After watching the IOM 2018 TT Highlights last night - Not gonna happen. 2 wheel drifts into 200mph corners. Erm no!.

That could happen, he could run out of fuel for instance. Or he could ride into a sinkhole. Or accidentally take an off ramp....

OK looking foward to seeing the 6 speed in action and it should be a total trans mod do it all while your in there I have all the goodies in my modded Roadster and it shifts like Butta
 
This is the stage 1 hybrid (3D printed plastic, and OEM steel parts) prototype 6 speed Rocket transmission mock up.

The mock up is to help tweak a few bits in my laboratory (living room) before the journey to where the R&D engine is, where we'll verify the design is complete, and then we can go get the parts cut in billet steel.

Hopefully in a few days we'll have a video showing this "stage 1" 6 speed prototype spinning by battery drill and toggling through the gears 1-N-2-3-4-5-6. I've been doing it by hand so far




 
I’d be interested to see the costs and ease of placement. Would it stand up to the gear banging that I might put it through on a modified real power producer?

Well I guess the stage 2 / steel prototype will end up in a 2.5L supercharged carpenter engine, if it can hold up to that then I guess it's considered.......ok
