I appreciate it man. If you let me know the cost and give me an adress i can send you a check to reimburse you for the shipping cost. I really appreciate your help in this endeavour.

Are there any left case halves out there???

haha i appreciate the thought man, but i need one that is still in working condition. Since the new ones will be mostyl modeled after the old ones. I know that the left case is going to be harder to find due to the fact that its the one that usually gets busted. haha.

I reall just don't want to have to tear apart my bottom end to get a clean case. Although i guess i could spruce up the bottom end. But if someone has a clean one i could get this project going much quicker.

I've got a few, busted though, you could still get measurements off of them anyway. Can you use one like that.

If the cases are still in pretty good shape aside from cracks then I could probably use them. The way that the 3-d scanner works is that you move this camera around the object and it takes multiple pictures. The computer will then post-process the pictures and combine them into a 3-D image. When all is said and done the scanner will give precision to somewhere around 0.00006".

So if the cases are nice and stright then I am pretty much done as soon as they are scanned, because the tolerances don't need to be that tight as most casters cannot reach those tolerances. With that being said if the cases are still in pretty good shape i can go in and "fix" the broken places with "patches" and that could work as well.

If you want to pick the nicest one you can send it and I'll take a look and see what i can do. As mentioned above in other posts I'll pay for all shipping.

Thanks,
Nick

Ok
I've got one left case half that was busted from a thrown chain & then I took JB Weld & beefed up that area filling in the broken part.
Would that work or does it need to be all aluminum case.

I'll go through them & pick out the best & get them on the way, pm me your address.

The one with the JB weld would beperfect actually. It doesn't have to be all aluminum, it just has to be a continuous surface. I'll PM you my address.
Thanks Neil,

Does Patriot Racing still cryo treat gear sets? Anyone actually had this done? Supposedly makes the gears more dense and helps them last longer, but I've never actually heard of someone having it done. Patriot also has a nice quick change clutch cover for a lot less dough than the no-longer-produced Hinson, CT, etc. that are on eBay. Here's the addy www.patriotracing.net/trx250r.htm

Over a year has gone by and no new info. It's truely unfortunate because now is the time they are most needed. The OEM cases are being discontinued.

I'm still more in favor of creating a set of counterbalanced cases for the CR250 because all those motor parts are still available.

Anybody have any experience with the CR250 in a quad? Are the tranny gears strong enough for a motor in a quad?

I talked to a CNC guy about doing some billet cases, but it is just a HUGE project, and would ost alot of money...AND...you would have to sell them for quite a bit if you did have some made, not sure the general 250R population would play in that game. Only use drag guys i think would????
