Does anyone have any reccomendations for a head and piston kit and carb setup for the stock HY 26cc on my DR v3 4x4. I'm running a CPI Tuned Pipe (Not big bore)? I'm looking at the Walbro WT-813 from DDM but not sure what head and piston kit would work best with my setup?


Thanks up front,

loud, i just dropped in the 28.5 cc kit in today, with the simple redcat tuned pipe, 8k clutch and 31/29/25/25 gears and converted to 2wd and this thing is flying its awesome. With ur CPI pipe i bet u'll be running even faster. i got a little nuts and was doing donuts with it in the middle of my street then i said i better slow down these RPM before i blow the new head and piston that hasnt been broken in yet. i ordered the head from Python....im looking into the new carb soon myself....just waiting for my OT check to come in to buy more parts hahaha

Nice....Do you like the 2WD better? Are you going to compare 4x4 with that setup or just leave it?

AFC83, I am running mine in 4 wheel drive again, with the 28.5cc head kit it has the power to step the back end out just fine :)


I do think I will be ordering that ESP stroker kit mentioned above because I am not breaking the drive line yet..so I am not making enough power (3.75hp sounds nice)

pretty decent, I am happy with it, I tried to run 2wd, and it is faster, but I like the additional control of the 4wd, I do most my running in a huge parking lot, and I drift just about every turn. with the Dom pipe, this motor seems to love mid-high RPMs, so as long as I keep it up in the revs I this truck screams!
