Default RE: Balanced and Blueprinted


ORIGINAL: JollyPopper

Is it possible to balance and blueprint a single cylinder two stroke engine? I saw an engine in Ebay advertised as ''balanced and blueprinted'' and I don't understand what that means in an engine with only one reciprocating part and one rotating part. Just balance them to each other and call it a ''balanced'' engine?
JP,


Single-cylinder engines of the type we use in our models, cannot be balanced!

Please read [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4936657/anchors_4936657/mpage_1/key_balancing/anchor/tm.htm#4936657]this thread[/link] and [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_780489/anchors_780489/mpage_1/key_balancing/anchor/tm.htm#780489]this one[/link] to understand... I remember a few more threads, but my search did not bring them up, for some reason or other.


These facts make the ad you are referring to rather nonesensical...
