What do you think is the 62cc motor the most powerful motor you can get?? Is it the fastest?? Is it worth the expense apoxx $2500.00 dollars when you add up all the parts and modificatioin you need to do to make this motor put out some real power!!! Or is the motor mostly hype??

My Feedback: (2)

By the sounds of it, it is king of the hill right now. Doubt it's going to ever be the "best bang for the buck" mod though.

Check out OBR's 50.8cc inline twin engine. It's a high revving engine with big displacement.... Rev's like a 26cc, but has similar power to the 62cc....

I heard about that the other day. It has the revs that the 62 cc lacks. I wonder how much it will be going for??

50.8cc inline?! where?!

O"Neal Brothers are working on a prototype still doing research and testing.

guess what will end up in my formula off road build if I ever get it finished mind you there's been boat twins out for a while though not strictly twins as it's 2 singles bolted together and not a common crankcase

An engine that long that you have to scroll sideways

nitrohead5300

that is wicked Mooman!! With an inline twin you better build that car from scratch so the chassis drivetrain can withstand the tire shreding torque!!

Maybe it's one of these, the thread on HBF said they had to run methanol because of cooling issues not sorted yet.

now that's cool, common crankcase.....hopefully they get the cooling sorted out

nitrohead5300

I hope they get the cooling issues sorted out too.

Some guy on HBF is trying to produce these for the 5T / 5B.

How are they going to fit in the Baja? the chassis isn't wide enough is it?

I think these high output engines are better suited for 4WD cars.
A baja or similar 2WD would be very hard to control with an engine like this. I can imagine upgrading a 4wd drivetrain to handle a powerful engine like this is almost the same cost as the engine itself!
That said, I still want one..   Just to quote a friend who tunes 1:1 cars: 'Way too much power is just about enough'

nitrohead5300

They would be nice in a heavy 4 wheel drive like a MCD for example

OBR is working on a complete twin drop-in kit. The exhaust will be done by Jet-Pro, the engine mounting I heard by Turtle and Scorpion is I think doing a longer chassis to tame the wheelies. One of the problems is the twin doesn't use a finned flywheel so that's where the cooling hurdle comes in. I really hope the whole thing works out. Twin piston pumpin power would be awesome in the Baja!

OBR has a short video:

Maybe, they could use a electric cooling fan on these motors??

stiggwelder

what you need is a strong frame and longer wheelbase

nitrohead5300

That is not going to make the motors run cooler.

I saw a neat rad and pump set up in a build thread somewhere that came with a 50cc or so pocket bike motor (I think), if you want one now you can run it on methanol.
Motor makes crazy power in the vid...definaitely something i want in the future and at $550 not too terribly expensive either

nitrohead5300

$550.00 DOLLARS? Thats a fair price.
