http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.88...t.A/id.4517/.f for the maddest torque, and http://www.cc-racingengines.com/inde...1ec249e6ee495f for the maddest speed.
Whichever of these engines you get, you will need to spend considerable additional money strengthening the drivetrain.
By the way, why are you shouting? [&:]

Then I would check out the 28.5 engine. Stock stroke with the biggest bore they make of 36mm.

speed and a little torque...

RCracing,
To accomplish the 5+hp you want is very easy.....
You will not need a modified motor or anything custom made like that, but instead, just a VRC pipe and possible 26CY head kit, this will produce 5.4HP all day.
Check your local dealers for VRC products
Thanks
Pete

Yep he will defiantly need to beef up the drive train and more. 
Trying to find Lunatik Engineering dyno tests on the VRC pipe. Like independents test over the manufacturers. Yes the VRC pipe is a good performing pipe. Just make sure you buy two so when you land on the rear you will have one to replace it. LOL.

It's funny you say that, because there has not been one report of something like that globally.
The pipes are in every major market and I have yet to hear anything negative about them.
We have done tests as well, jumps, hardcore bashing ect, we even run 4 tanks of fuel in the NJ BMX track with no problems.
So before you make such a statement, you should get a VRC pipe and see for yourself, unless you don't mind coming in 2nd all the time!
We are sold out, you will have to find another source on our list of dealer to prove you wrong..
Thanks

We will have another order very soon, it will also include the VRC HPI Side pipe, FG & MCD versions as well.

These pipes were specifically designed for a 23/26CY motor, you can leave your 23cc head, but I think the results would be a bit different then with a 26cc head.
There have been a number of tests done all producing the same results of 5.4hp from a stock 26cy with the VRC pipe.
You can do a google search for Victory RC pipes or VRC pipes, or check the links above for more info on it.
Thanks

So if I buy one of these pipes and race hard and it gets messed up you will replace it free of charge?
When it comes to racing the vehicle is only a small part of winning the driver has a lot more to do with it.

I've been in the hobby for nearly 12 years, I know what it takes.
So your asking me if you trash the pipe will I send you a new one free of all charges???
Absolutely not, I doubt any company is going to do that for you or anyone, there is no such thing as free replacement parts unless you race for us..
Did the box from your HPI say, we will replace all parts if you bash this too hard??? ahhh noo.
This is a hobby, if you cannot innovate things to better support your condition of driving, I can't help you.
There are plenty of other pipes on the market for you.
Enjoy them.

I'm always calm, I just wanted to make a point thats all.
It's a forum, thats what this is for, communication, opinions, questions, agreements and disagreements.
It's all in good fun.[8D]
