Dude I’ll be honest I’d be pissed with that speed and send that motor back and get a zenoah,i know they are different but whatmgearing is in the Rovan 5b max cause that truck runs it’s ass off with the 45?maybe you need totally diff gearing,might even have to have some made
Ya I seen that too they just have thier gearing down,my xt runs its ass off with the g320 in it and the belt drive and the belt drive is just a 1:1 but it’s got tons of low and highs,I also think just some trucks just run better for some odd freakish idea. Lol I do love my xt though but I changed everything in that truck to get it solid and reliable,money wise prob wasn’t worth it when I could have bought a 5t and bashed with little issues but I love customizing everything I own so I know that if I did have a 5t which I do wana get I’ll still dump tons of money into it. Lol
wish they made the belt drives still i think they don't anymore no??
that zenoah must be fire yall got me itching to get one i have (2 trucks xt mt) could always use an extra
Now for the 45 now having hard time with the tune starting to suspect my carb might be straight garbage
It probably is your carb,I’ve heard a few people have that problem and if you keep an eye on eBay for the German guy,he still makes the belt drives,they are just hit and miss and I know you know but make sure you get the right one cause he seems to almost always have the fg or fs ones on there and they won’t work but I’ll try and keep an eye out too for you,I love being able to help out people,that’s what this hobby is all about and ya whenever you can grab yourself a zenoah,it’s so true they are Japan built and it’s like when you buy a cheap Chinese quad and it aucks,that’s the motors that come with our trucks then you go and buy a Yamaha or susuki quad and it fuckin runs it’s ass off,built really well that’s the zenoah,I wish I never even bought the cy motor I bought,I know thier are worked motors that run way better but most of them are zemoahs built up,for stock power they are awesome!!!I swear my xt runs man and like I said if or when down the road it breaks I’ll put the esp top end on to make it a g340!!!
I just read up on the Rovan and it's only claimed to be 4 HP.
About the same as a G290 Zen.
I think you'd be better off going for a shorter stroke engine if you want top speed.
Update I reset the carb settings then started off from there made it more rich
Removed the exhaust silencer (do they slow things? made a difference)
Adjusted my throttle wasn't opening 100% only 80%
More tunes later I am now able to even break the rear end lose! no high revs but big torque
Running 7k clutch now will go to a 8k here is a crappy video i tried to take
also was pulling hard!! now on the grass field no video of that (did not have my head mount gopro) bummer
once it hits certain rpms that torque kicks in kind of impressive for the weight and size of tires was kicking the grass to the air
Looking good
How's the top speed now the throttle is opening fully?
I have a silencer on my Jetpro.
It doesn't seem to make any difference but mine is a Jetpro silencer not a cheapie.
Do you have a decent pipe on it or just the stocker?
I'd upgrade if it's stock.
