New Engine

[noyb98098]

Ok, so the stock 23cc has served me well but after seeing all of these vid's with better engines has mad me re-consider my original position which was just being happpy with the stock and the Sprint77 Dom. So I ask, what engines should I look at, I'm not trying to get the fastest thing since I have the G270 ESP Ported Zenoah 4-Bolt in my baja with a rear dom and that thing is STOOPID fast. But I'm just looking for more a nice mixture of power and speed while staying around 300$ (if possible) since I just drop some serious bucks into my MCD project. Any thoughts from you guys would be great.


Thanks!

I have the ddm race port 26.9 top end on mine and it runs awesome. about $80

 

[Piranha2]

I have the basic 28.5 headkit and it runs strong........about $75

 

[noyb98098]

Looks like new top end is the way to go! Thanks guys.

i have a ddm ported 26.9 and a non ported 28.5.. if your running an mt, the 28.5 should be great.

Sounds good Krypt...Although I couldnt help myself once I saw the kits.. Would this be over kill? http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.4169/.f Although my current setup is "slow" I don't have any issues with breaking drivetrain parts.. But I'm assuming the drive cup holders I got from Largescale should do their part if I do go with this head kit. Also, I've never done a head kit replacement before, the one time I tried on my baja I ended up not having those piston pliers and I couldnt get those darn pins off so I gave up. And I see that daves is once again out of stock on them, is there another tool that I can use instead? Also, will I need any other special parts for this head kit replacement? Thanks!

I just use a pick to get the c-clips out once removed they are junk and I use a small common tuning screw driver to re install the c-clips.


I wouldn't suggest that kit, I would stay with the stock stroke and a ported 28.5, I have a couple DDM's and one O'Neill Brothers. Physically they are identical. I think you would be very happy with the 28.5cc bb kit.

Best bang for the buck under $300: ported head kit w/reed. Non stroked. You install. DDm ported, Oneil brothers proted, esp ported.

 

[aussie]

my ts billet cases has the reed valve installed there,not on the cylinder!!


what about the other brands that run reeds??


cheers

[hamster huey]

DDM and Oneilbrothers both have reed kits for around $110. You can port match them or buy port matched ones also.

 

[noyb98098]

Nice looking rig moo!

 

[Piranha2]

Wow Moo, that arm looks short on the Rhino.....do you have enough throw without the ball links hitting the servo case? And gheesh, you think you would have a better exhaust than paper towel

 

[aussie]

sorry double post,pls ignore

 

[aussie]

sorry to but in on your thread noyb,


hi moo,


gees i was hoping the ts reed cases would fit,dam!!


are you sure mate ??


if they wont fit,will the ts engine fit a fg or mcd mt truck then ??


hope so,its a killer of a engine thats for sure!!


also r.e your brake and throttle position rod, mine are in reverse spot to yours .


my brake is where your thottle link is !!


is this way you have them better ??


what are the advantages/disadvantages ??


thanks


glen

 

[yolonda21]

T/B linkages are reversed for clearence , allowing use of an aftermarket air filter.....♥

 

[aussie]

i am building the MT V2 roller was going to go with this engine.......................


http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.4944/.f


With Side Dom pipe, av540 - ADA RC Manifold, av522 - Walbro WT-813 carb,


and the 8000rpm hpi cltch.


What do you guys think.??????

 

[kryptonite]

i think thats a sick set-up, no doubt. i like the smaller displacement mills myself, but that esp modded 30.5 should really cut the grass

 

[BIRDOFPREY]

thanks alot for the feedback this is by far not my first R/C but it is my first redcat and I have been out of it for a couple years. I am going all out on this one so if there is any parts upgrade or something I should do please let me know!!!
