A New Kind of Portal

[Snacktime]

@tmason10 if your going cast iron I would at least make some promotional cook wear. Think about sending 74Weld a broncbuster skillet for christmas, you could serve it up hot!

I don't know much about portal design, but the straight cut gears in my manual transmissions (typically reverse gear) are definitely noisier than the other gears. What's the "magic" in the straight cut portals that make them silent?

They are not actually silent... they just are smaller turning at a slow speed and in a four gear design they have two sets of gears engaging distributing about 1/2 to 1/4 of the power that is going through the transmission. They are also not up against the body transmitting that noise.

They are just not so loud that you hear them.

I see an infomercial: "But wait, there's MORE! You get this awesome sold in 'merica portal package, and THEN!! You'll get our brand new It's-not-a-74Weld skillet set! You'll never season again! [Patents pending.]"

“Our skillets use proprietary engineering that makes them SILENT compared to the competition!”

This getting really good. Oh so many comments I've been holding back on. Talk about being Ratio'd.

Cast steel is strong, depending on the alloys used.... I do not know the alloys being used.

Let's be real, neither does the Chinese factory.

If you guys haven't been following the DSTrac USA saga, you should check out their Instagram. Tyler should take a look too because I think he is going to learn a lot of the same lessons the hard way.

Can you give us the cliff notes?

Dude in the US imported Dynatrac knockoffs from Brazil. Axles started blowing up and Brazil allegedly ghosted. US guy changed the IG to be nothing but pictures of their broken axles. Brazil started a new IG selling the same stuff rebranded as KB Axles.

I hit up KB and of course they say everything is DSTrac USA's fault. Just another spiderman meme of everyone blaming each other.

because there are a bunch of BB advocates on here as well....

To be honest, I got nothing against him. I do not know him... And no matter how much someone talks him up or talks him down I would rather form my own opinion.

I do have a problem with the helical cut portal design. That is my real issue. I would really like Tyler to come out and explain to me what the advantages are to this design... BEYOND the tired noise issue. I do not want the sales speak... I will call that for what it is... BS... I want real world design criteria and rational for the design choices made. Maybe I am wrong... Maybe I am missing something here.... BUT I NEED SOMEONE TO CONVINCE ME I AM WRONG. Otherwise my opinion stands and I will keep repeating it. If someone were to convince me I am wrong I will admit it. I am not omniscient. I make mistakes. I do not have and will never have all the information. I just form my opinions based on the information I have at the time. I recognize that and am open to reevaluation my opinions if I have new information. PLEASE PROVIDE ME NEW INFORMATION.

While personally I won't use after market parts not made in the US can you at least provide us with what Broncbuster has done to guarantee that the products you sell are not made by children?
