Still waiting on some Carbon fibre parts to show up, so I thought I'd tweek the boring old 26cc SS engine...........

First pull it apart........

and get rid of the 26cc cylinder and standard crank.........

now it took me a while to work out why anyone would want to pull out a perfectly good Crankshaft and replace it with a "Stuffed" one............until I worked out "stuffed" is the brand hehehe

bit longer stroke and all the divets in the crank filled to make for better air flow in the sump....resulting in more fuel/air getting into the cylinder.......

after a few other secret, hehe mods, and a tricked up big carby, it was almost back together.......

also had to do a few mods to the starter, as the new higher compression makes mince meat out of the standard nylon zip start clutch.....nice new metal one fixed that.

well back together with a few extra's, bit of billet external stuff , an expansion chamber , pre filter etc etc and away we go !!!!

Scheisser! So you wouldn't want to get hit by one (a distinct possibility if I were driving). Is there a class you race these buggers in?

Didn't see it mate :rolleyes:

they start at around $1400 for the standard 5b then go upward from there.
Can easy get to 3 or 4 grand with Hop ups......

Speed...... well how long is a piece string,......... it comes down to gearing etc, but 60 to 100 k's is not out of the order at all.

cheers

Very nice mate, my missus just got a Smartech Spider 1/5 scale buggy to put up against my 1/8 Savage X. We looked at the Baja but was a bit pricey at the time, but the Spider does alright
