RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi Dom and everyone ,
I've got my own ideas about the exhaust outlet I would want to use on that rear exhaust QD 26 which is on that lowers now. If that doesn't look suitable, then I have the...

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi Dom,
Thanks.
So good to hear from you and more so on the input. That bazooka was put there just to fire up the motor for the first time. Never had any intention of using that tuner there...

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi Hendricx,

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi Dion,

Thanks for the nice word on the Viking tunnel that I raced back in the early 90s. She was one of my best scratched built wooden tunnel powered by a rather stock SST60. Built in less...

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi Dom,

Hi everyone,

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi Dion,
If I may chime in here on servo holes to use. (as Dom have not answered you).

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi YPC,

As a racer, the feeling of butterflies in the stomach at a mass start is always there, for me. Not so bad when it is a rolling start. Got to have a very capable handler to start your...

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home

Hi Dion,
Yep, the 50cc are chain saw engines. Stihl or Husqavarna seems to be the choice for most of the guys here. Most of them are putting water jacket on now, which help the engine throughout...
