The top end kits are the BEST thing out there ...no im not a salesman LOL
I have the 28.5 top end kit for about $75...The headkit fits the chung yang motors fine. its feels like TWICE the power of a 23 cc motor...its unreal.Look under your plastic headcover,it will say chung yang under it like this-> http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...URES/CY003.jpg |

if of course the engine was a CY and not a knock off engine in most clones
I think beckiesbajas should know the time line for them 1 piece knock off engines |
RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
ORIGINAL: srt10 Anyone tried E-85 in their Baja? that is a good question. doesn't that fuel also burn better than gasoline? also benkie, if you were to smash ALL of the savage shocks to pieces, it would only cost $15-$25. if you needed a pair of baja shocks, it would cost around $80. also, if you were to ruin a diff on a savage, the metal cased complete diff can be had for $15. on a baja, the metal diff costs around $100. |
RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
and now this is the reason why 1/5 scale is bigger right? (Hpi =High Price Industry) :D like a car 1:1 scale even bigger money
so in conclusion scarletboa run the hell out of savages and save up for the next parts replace like benkie showed. this way scarletboa, you can continue your bashing remember in the 1/5th scale it like you kinda are not only paying for quality parts your paying for the Name.....good Example .

Thank's for the great info! I'm one of the so called "Due to the Economy Lay Offs" So I went with a 27cc Head kit from DDM and Copper Head Gasket.. 50 bucks.. I'll run it for a while and let you all know how it does.. My stock KM went 38.3mph on my GPS during the 2nd tank and then the motor came apart on the 3rd tank.. :( I live at 4990ft elevation, so I think the 38.3mph is not to bad.. Who knows, maybe into the second tank with this head kit I might just go get the g290.. Thanks again for every ones help on this thread.. |
RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
if you engine made it to 4 or 5 tanks it should of been faster as it runs in, but 40 mph is nothing to laugh at. i used to get 50 to 55mph out of a modified cy with a 28,5cc gp290 head 668 carb and speed gears 18/56.
when replacing the heads it pays to put new brearings and crank seals and crank gaskit. as half the trouble from an engine failing can be oil seals/gaskits ( leaking and running lean) or bad crank bearings ( metal getting sucked up in the top of the head) . if i rebubild a motor or even replace a ring, i replace the piston pin bearing, new gaskits new bearings and new oild seals, as it pays to to eliminate all future problems and ensure i get the most life and performance i can push out of them, but thats just me. let us know how you go with the 27cc head kit, all the best |

40 mph is about the tops out of a stocker unless it running to lean

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Ok, I got my kit today and put the new piston and cylinder together. Things did not go so well.. The piston was hitting the top of the cylinder so I had to do some mods to get it to work. Hope I did it right!
And also found my problem was the cause of a bearing failure! Ahh! cheap looking bearing... |

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
ok so i just did the break in on my baja, it only took the local hobby two weeks to get the oil in for me but i wasn't in that big of a rush, so i got the oil fridday and the gas today i was really surprised the thing even ran outside seeing it is only 10*f. the only problem i had was when it got down to past a half a tank if i would put it hard into a corner it would die. this happened like three times but started up evry time it died i got like 35-40 minutes run time and the throttle response was good. And to make it's maiden voyage a complete success just before it ran out of gas i did an evel kaneivel over a snow bank and landed the whole car on the right rear tire and it broke so it was a complete success. one more thing the baja tires and bead lock rings will go on hpi wheels right. thanks, all you guys have beeen extremely helpful in this km baja adventure. matt

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Ok, I got the head kit on and the first pull, WOW! Major difference in compression..
Ok I took it out to break in the motor and it was running great for about 1min then it started sounding like it was misfiring? then it ran ok then it was bogging and almost cutting out? Whats UP! Still love the hobby, but dang this kinda sucks.... I'm using premium fuel and 25:1 AmsOil and sent added to fuel, Root Beer Yum! |

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Adjust your low speed and highspeed needles by 1/16 increments.check also your spark plug if it keeps on misfiring.if your bogging at low speed adjust your low speed needle clockwise by 1/16 of a turn.if your bogging after coming in from a high speed run . adjust your high speed needle clockwise or otherwise by 1/16 of a turn.Also check your throttle if its on the right position.90 deg on the servo arm.

I'm using premium fuel and 25:1 AmsOil and sent added to fuel, Root Beer Yum! and with the km carb its hard to give you a base settings as they are all difrent and most are not tunible sounds like an airleak, if it was running good then whent stuffed, but its hard to tell with out beeing there and hearing it. also if it has to much compression you could cracked the head, and with will sound funny for a bit then die. if you want a nice smelling good oil use motul oil it smells nice with out added any thing |
RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
welcome to 1/5 scale 2 stroke engines, you can see why i sugested a full complete motor for you. not saying you cant do it, but its easyer and youll have a well build motor to start with

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
if you have castrol oil use it as it well not deposit carbon on your piston and pipes.BTW check your carb for airleak. tighten the carb screws until you feel it snug. If it has an airleak on the carb gasket replace it. If you dont have available gasket you can use a brown folder , cut it like the orignal gasket and it will work fine. Ive tried it on my other baja and it is inexpensive and works well. Other thing, to minimize clutch shoe wear, turn and place the clutch show the other way around. the arrow will now be inside.It will feel much better once you hit the throttle and will save you extra $$$$.

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
yup.. KM carbs are sometimes pain in the ....sss to tune...but you could try it and see if its works .If it not... then go for the much reliable CY /zenoah engines.

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
to true try it, i was worried that our fellow baja bash would spend 50 usd on a head kit to find out it was a carb or airleak on a seal that cause the original engine fail, then need to spend more on gaskits bearings and seal an made even a carb ( recomended) and the cost and time would soon add up to a better more relible engine.
i love building my own engines i realy enjoy it, and have done it many times, but my wife brought me a zen G270RC 26cc engine as a present for my baja, so out came my custom 30.5cc and in with the new zen. the G270RC has had 25 tanks at 25:1 of motul 2 t off road oil and pulls wheelies and ive never had to adjust the carb on it. you will be amazed the difrence a reible cy or zen engine will make to a baja and the fun you will have |

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
if i remmber correctly the stock km head gaskit is higher then 0.060
a stock cy or zen engine head gaskits are 0.020 a stoke 29 and 30.5cc engine gaskits is 0.060 unless the head has been machined for the correct clearnce. and if you only ued the stock papper gaskit you got with the head kit i would say the piston would hit the top of the head so if i was going to put a stock cy head on the km crank i would use around 4 papper gaskits to get the clearnce then i would check the squish. if you use 4 stock papper gaskits and the piston does not hit the head i would then measure the squish clearnce as mentioned in my above post. if this is to much trouble and stuffing aound witch it is i would just use as many gaskits as you can to make the same size as the stock km gaskit you would of pulled off and try that if you pull the engine over with no spark plug and the psiton didnt hit the head, try runnign that. or i would buy a lottory ticket and if you win i would pull the km engine out smash it with a hammer and buy a decent engine you dont had to do this crap to. i hope this makes sence ? |
