I have used a CE dyno before, and though it is usefull when you understand it, I wouldn't pay $495.00 NIB for one, let alone another Grand to boot!
well someone will buy them, I'm sure, but unless you run full modified it is a waste of money in my book, even at half the price....not etailed enough info..and slave motor wear has to be taken into account.

Wow.. $1500? For that money the dyno better have a function to tell me how to gear my car plus how to set the suspension up. :D

50 * $1500 = $75,000

That's for sure! :D It should also charge, peak, match, and solder my battery packs together. Heck, I think it should also paint my bodies.

Hello.....Is Anyone Home???? Wake up kids, these have been selling for over $1,000 on ebay for months. If you have one, it is worth far more now than ever.

Well, I'm not a kid so maybe that is why I cannot wake up and why no one is home.

I've had an ebay search that mails me daily of any new compeition electronics devices and I have yet to see one referring this new dyno.

I think he was refrering to 'old' TurboDynos selling for $1000 on ebay... Apparently some have lately (at least a one or two have had auctions end at that price)....

Most belived it was a abnormality. I also had heard the selling price of a newly built one was going to be $1000... but I wouldn't pay that much for one. I do however wish I still had mine, so I could sell one at that price.

If that becomes the going price for a TurhboDyno... then it sure makes a brand new Robitronic dyno look like a bargin... Or a used one... Yeah that's it... Anyone want to buy a Robitronic Dyno? I'll sell you mine for $700...

Well, shoot, if that is what they are going for, I'll sell mine for $990 shipped. Comes with the printer and 12 rolls of thermal paper.

OK, here is the skinny straight from CE (i'm not affiliated):

> new turbo 45 dyno is $1045, new thermal printer is $145, shipping is $15

if someone is charging $1495, they are gouging, not CE

I wonder what kind of a discount they are giving to dealers? That might be the differance. The price was statedabove as "about $1495." so the final price might be less. The owner of Speedworld is a standup guy. I don't know what the details are as to his price so I won't comment on that.:) :thumbsup:

I bought this CE TurboDyno 30 (30 AMP model) about 2 years ago for $325 shipped with printer.
I sold it off eBay 6 months ago for $870 plus shipping to Australia. (see attachment)

The fact is, CE TruboDyno's are the best electric motor dyno there is. period!
I wish i didnt sell it, but I had bills to pay.
If the dyno said it was a hot motor then it was hot on the track, no guessing!
CE could update it to a 45 AMP model, but I race only stock so no reason to.

go read "big Jim" Greenemeyer's motor forums here: http://www.rccars.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=19

he will set you straight on the TurboDyno...no other dyno even comes close to it.
