    Default new raptor bits

    so here has had there charger rebuilt with the new internals Tim has, had me charger back for a week know and im stoked with the improvements. the car revs up a lot quicker and the whistle has died down heaps, bit more sleeperish unless u have a big front mount out the front like i do lol

    so if ur thinking about upgrading id recomend doing it

    The charger recieved

    Light weight impeller assembly

    Sealed ceramic bearings - German manufactured

    These revised components seem to be giving better response and smoother operation in every instance so far

    Yeah. Mine went back for a new belt, it copped a full rebuild without me knowing, and got charged for it. Then came back with a piece of paper, with Raptor letterhead, declaring there is no warranty whatsoever. I thought it was very stealthily done.

    I'm thinking with all those belts snapping that maybe there's a cheaper belt being used?
    My charger had a hard life and never managed to snap one, even when it seized solid.
