What size is that motor Ziggy? A .45 maybe or larger?? Never mind Ziggy I went to your website and found the answer. Wow thats a BIG MOTOR!!

ziggy12345

1.01ci or 16.5cc 8hp measured on a dyno rather than claimed 3.5 with a .21 motor that is actually 2hp, if you are lucky

Will this next big block IC car of yours be single speed or 2 speed??

ziggy12345

2 speed to start with a possible 3 or 4 speed gearbox later

Cheers

nitrohead5300

that should be very interesting and fast!

ziggy12345

The story so far.....







More later...

It looks wicked to me You going to use some custom tires I suspect ?

ziggy12345

The 1/8 circuit tyres are good for 189mph. Thats what they did unofficially on the rocket car

Ziggy do you make your own gears or do you have someone make the for you??

I get everything from here. Belts, Pulleys, Gears, Motor couplings, gearboxes, etc...

Thanks Ziggy

THAT is freaking awesome! I only hope one day to become as skilled as this to where I can design/implement my own ride like this. Great job! Please send more pics and hopefully a vid of it running.

I managed to figure out the mechanism for dynamically tuning the pipe. Here is a short video.

It goes from 275mm to 330mm. 290 is supposed to give me 26000 rpm so a little "extra" just in case..

That's a serious machine ziggy, that pipe system is amazing!!
I am working on a new single speed RS4 where I don't have to use a monster clutchbell and baby spur gears.
I really want to put that HPI .36 in it because of the torque to pull this drive ratio, but I heard mixed reviews about that engine.

ziggy12345

You will have trouble with the clutch if you just increase the gearing. Try machining new clutch shoes from brass and use the strongest springs you can find. This might help.

Yea I end up with damaged/melted aluminum shoes alot, I was thinking there has to be something else out there.
But I guess I can break out the dremel and try to make my own out of brass.
You're running brass shoes?
I wonder if these will do better, they have kevlar pads on them, hmm...

Now they look interesting! They just need to be a bit heavier for speed runs

roadrunner ss

so what you planning on putting in your hpi racer 2 what kind of motor

fdjizm

If that was to me, it's a super rs4 (little bigger) but I have a few engines to use.
RB WS7III, RB TM928, RB Speedline Xenon-R (holy jesus rpms from hell), Gotech 7-port (nova kangaroo clone), hyper mac 28 (ehh), axial 32rr (ehh)
just picked up a sportwerks .26 engine. (brand new from an ebayuser $86)

They can be had cheap and if modified nicely and a carb change they rev to around 45k.
They are the same engine as the losi mach 427 with a better carb.
Really a beast of an rtr engine, I can say it hangs with the WS7 easily after being modified.

roadrunner ss

i have a hpi racer 2 that crazy its a one speed with a rb classico 11 pulling around 60,000 rpm i have a 36 spur gear and a 30 pinion gear so im ready for what ever

fdjizm

RB classico 60,000 rpm?? lol.
So you're getting right around 250mph out of it huh?

MiamizFinest

60k??? Outta a nitro!?!! Never in a million years

ziggy12345

41,000 rpm out of a .21 engine highly modified is the very max. You can get 39,000 put of a street engine if your lucky

Cheers
