Default Custom made engines & pipes

Anybody else making their own engines here?

This is my latest one, a 43cc reed engine for rc car, installed into a Baja. Video is of first break-in run on the bench:

and installed:


I've now done a lot of carburetor modding to get better timed fuel pulse and more flow for the H-needle.

I can imagine that. It's just next to impossible to really find that much with search function. I was hoping people would chime in with their own builds.

W8ye, what's the address of this engine conversions forum?

Irocbsa, it is standard HPI Baja length. Not modified. I believe it's 32".

Ok, I somehow didn't know that such area existed. Feel like a dumbass. Should this thread be moved there or let it stay here?
