  1. Rebuilding the Trike

    Does the box reverse the output from the motor for forward drive? These motors spin "backwards" for most differentials.

  2. Rebuilding the Trike

    Hey Paul, How is reverse set up on that trike? Looks like a Quaife box? Does the differential have the pinion on the left or right of the ring gear? -David

  3. Rocket III Trike Reverse?

  5. Height of Engine?

    I have a few options, one is a reversing box by Quaife, it's kind of expensive at $1400 but is advertised for exactly this purpose.

  6. Height of Engine?

  10. Hello from Panama City, FL

    Hi all, I recently bought a Triumph... Spitfire. The engine seized 10 miles down the road and all I can think about now is swapping a Rocket engine into it. Joining the forum to learn about tech tips and potential issues to look out for with the Rockets. Cheers! David
