I saw that over on HBF. It makes 18hp! I'd love one, but I think the 12hp 50cc would be more usable. I think that 70cc would exceed the limit of even the aftermarket drive train parts. On a Baja that motor would just be tire spin or wheelies (sounds fun I know, but not when you're trying to get somewhere). That motor needs to be in a beefed up 4wd like a Losi, or Rampage. It would make my MT feel like a little nitro. A fast powerful snappy monster nitro. lol. Okay, I'll take one.

A guy would have to have access to a really good machine shop to custom make beefed up drive train parts. If we can break parts with just a couple hp, just think how quick it would destruct with all of that!

Nice Motor. long stroke too! Back in the eightes, for 2-3 seasons Honda F-1 cars were drum-valve 4 cycle engines. Drum valve? On a single piston motor there would be 1 or 2 ? rotating ported hollow tubes in the head instead of the reprocating stem valves - with there less than ideal angles -super high valve spring pressures- - Honda had problems sealing the drums -heads at first, but they eventually resolved this. The best of both worlds-- 4 stroke -mid range with a 20,000 + top end. why even the greens would be smiling- . Any Zen - Husky- Honda -- CHINA employees reading this??
