Either way, that's a damn shame considering the rarity and money wrapped up in one of the "shotgun" engines.

Regardless, the only reason people order billet flywheels is for weight savings while not worrying about re-usability (is that a word?) and not so much weight loss that they lug the engine on the launch. You want some weight for inertia to prevent lug, but not so much you have more rotating mass than absolutely necessary. After all, light weight equals faster revving.
I don't think that was something the builder could have predicted as a problem.

Ah, OK. Thanks for that. It is a damn shame.
If I had the budget for it, would love to drop a Kaase 429 into something...just to add to the stable.

Who would guess a flywheel would come apart? Come on.

I could be wrong.
