    Weedwacker motor

    I know that these MT's have a weekwacker motor in them. having said that, could you take a weekwacker engine out of a weekwacker and use it? I'm just curious to see if you can do it.

    Upgrade stock engine

    I am wondering if I can increase the displacement of my stock MT (30cc) by simply bolting on a larger top end. If I can, who is the stock engine manufacturer and what style (number of bolts)? Thanks!

    The first day, I rode it for 3 sets of 15 with cool down in between. The second day, I slowly drove around in circles but when I let off the throttle, it keeps stalling and tough to get started. I checked the plug and it was black and coated with gas. What am I doing wrong? Oil mix is...

    Engine options

    Hi guys, At the moment, I'm more than happy with my stock 32cc (after adding the 8k clutch and the jetpro exhaust). However, I'm probably gonna want to change it at some point so I thought I'd ask ahead, to be prepared :) Basically, my main questions with after market engines are: If I get...

    An 8 hour engine break in, is Red Cat serious??

    4 hours at 1/3 throttle and 4 hours 1/2 throttle... Does Red cat expect me to control myself while controlling the MT keeping it under half throttle for 8 hours?? Will I be on candid camera?

    Possible locked engine or Clutch issue...??

    Hey guys. I recently bought another MT. I did the break in and was starting to tune the motor and the truck died.

    engine stroke

    is the stock 30cc really a 28mm stroke? by my calculations if its only a 28 stroke and 36 mm bore its only 28.5 cc or is it a 30mm stroke. reason I ask is because I bought a 4 bolt 30.5cc king motors head and crank case and want to use the stock HY crank and piston

    Upgrades for stock engine 30cc.

    Hi all, I have the stock engine, pretty sure it's the 30cc one. I wanted to know what upgrades I can do on it to give it a little more power without having to buy a new engine, seeing as I'm considering getting it rebuilt because it's leaking and I just don't have the time to do it myself...
