also don't forget the install kit and tuned exhaust pipe, those will cost around another $500

Certainly looks fun but for $1500 you can have another new HPI lol that pricing is pretty high not sure how they will sell but certainly a cool idea BB in a RC

yeah bigger cc but revs go down alot , someone should bolt on a reed to the 62cc and see how it goes , $999 just for the engine , then you MUST buy the install kit which is $300 or more or else you wont be able to get it working

Seen the tgn vid...doesnt seem worth it to me. For that price you can get two full mod zens. The true test of this engine will be to drag race it against other full mod engines. There is no info on ddm's site as to what machine work was done. The angled plug head is the first sign of a low performance engine. The G62 is an airplane engine.

The G62 is an excellent platform for both reliability and power. Also, given the right modifications, you might be surprised at the RPMs a G62 will turn. Will it outrev a G230RC? No. But with a TS headkit, and/or a TS cylinder reed, it revs like a monster with some serious torque to pull tall gears.

yeah Ihear ya...but thats a BIG nut for an enginethough LOL I would rather get anonroadFGcomp to satisfy the need for speed...certainly not an offroad vehicle. Iplan on racing my baja T. If it does like 45 - 50 i'll be happy.

True, the G62 is a monster - a bit of overkill, maybe, for the size of the vehicle. You can get a plenty of power out of the smaller powerplants, particularly those using the 36mm bore cylinders.

I would love to see one drag racing a well built 26cc Baja, I see the 62cc jobs running at the big dune meets but I never see tham line up with other Baja's.

For what they are worth, that makes it very undesirable for me. I'd buy another HPI-AH! I already have another. LOL

Neat concept, but I have some ONB engines in my HPI's and extra power isn't somthing I ever wished for.

I do like the idea of having a 62 on one of my models. Maybe some day.

Remote shift 125cc shifter kart motor?
Thats what I'm talkin about. If I were to dump the coin into a BIG CC RC, it would have to be 100 + CCs. 3rd channel shifter would be insane.
There is a Custom 100cc RC around here somewhere. I believe its on youtube to.

Found the vid, its not a very exciting flick but, use your imagination and just think of what it would do in an open field or in the dunes.
It looks bad ass.

Can those 60cc rigs take off under their own power?

Every time I see one they launch it like a boat.
