Dan, When I click on this link it leads me to a D902E G445 engine with 20.6 HP @ 3,200 RPM. The D902E G445 doesn't appear to have a turbo either... Sorry to...
Great find, Dan. Thank you. 'Recon ... series is ... with 20.6 ... either... ... PowerPoint ... remember the ... of the ... diesel ... than what ... were at...
Hi all, I recently joined this group. I was wondering does anybody think the plans are going to be available in February or do you think it may be delayed...
I would have thought that Riley would have some new promotional stuff right now, touting his February release, if he expected to be on time. I haven't thought...
As with all of Robert Q. Riley's projects I find the XR3 interesting but I would be cautious in dealing with someone who is repeatedly unable to meet their...
Stan, I find it interesting to look at the projects whose plans he now sells and try to assemble a narrative from them. The XR3 excites me because I think it...
This is hardly a shock. I note that the RQRiley.com website now says the projected release date for the plans is April. I wonder what the hold up is. I hope...
Well, at least we finally see a teaser construction photo: http://www.rqriley.com/images/xr3-chassis.jpg <http://www.rqriley.com/images/xr3-chassis.jpg>...
The XR3 gets a top speed of around 85 mph. I assume this speed is a combination of diesel & electric. When the batteries run out, the top speed would be on...

I hadn't checked Riley's website for a while. Today I found lot's more rendering's of the body. Have a look: http://www.rqriley.com/xr3.htm I'm not at all...
Yes I think that there is a lack of storage myself. I guess it goes with the territory when you build small & light. We could put a trailer hitch on it and...
No kidding about the storage. Why couldn't there be a storage compartment fashioned into the upper part of the rear accessible by one or both of the engine...
If you look at Riley's designes over time; every vehicle in some ways relates to the last one, but builds on the previous experience. This is the first Riley...
Can someone venture a guess as to what is in the "drum" protruding from the side of the rear wheel in the renderings? Are we looking at a motorcycle type...
... Looks like the motor is at the very end of the frame in one drawing. In another drawing from the left rear that looks like a silver object (motor?) just...
Well, if I squint a bit it almost looks like one of the in-wheel motors that can be seen here: http://www.pmlflightlink.com/motors/EW_details.html. Although I...
I was just showing the XR3 to a friend and noticed that the projected release date has now been moved back to May. At least the postponements are getting...
Ok, I've been doing a little research (Thank God for Google!) and I think I've pieced together a little of what *may* be going on. While a little vague, there...
