+1!; certainly is looking good so far indeed!!! for sure im looking forward to seeing some video of u "firing up" this beast; or some video of it in action!!! [8D][8D]

You dont think you'll be dissapointed in the speed? I cant wait to see the fire up video!

rcnitrohead

^ The speed should be similar to regular 2-stroke speeds provided that the gearing is right. Should be equivalent to a strong .18 running.

got out today to try and start it.

im happy to find out the starter settup works flawlessly, starter had torque to spare

able to start if for a few seconds, before it flooded, and stalled. i was happy with that and called it a day

So your leaving that belt hooked around the motor when you run it?

gonzobot

yeah i cant remove it once the engine is installed not a big deal though ill just tuck it away from harm

That's how the boat guys do it.

Any video?

how well you think one of the superchargers would work on a 4stroke? ive been pondering this for some time now, but havent ever gotten the funds to try it. i know they are pointless on the 2stroke, but i think it might actually work decent with the 4stroke.

JB COMP

If you got a good supercharger it would work on a 4-stroke. I heard the RB superchargers are junk.

Some 4-stroke engines come with superchargers from the factory. (like YS and I think some OS 4-strokes do too)

gonzobot

yeah rb supercharger are definitely not that great of a design thats for sure but they do provide some boost none the less. i think with some tweaking and some high gear ratio i could see some results. but it will be awhile before i attempt this

gonzobot

here's a short video of it running. i barely even gave it throtle and i can tell all ready the things got loads of bottom end

Sounds sweet; but since u said it flooded out and died; it probably did that because of where the needles where set at; so obviously u will probably just have to "play" around with the needles a little here and there to get the right settings for it.....but it looks killer on that chassis man!!!!

Are you going to use Airplane fuel or car fuel in that bad boy?

I love saitos...

gonzobot

i figure ill break it in with airplane fuel then mybe try some higher nitro heli fuel later on [>:]

That things sounds like a beast. nice project

JB COMP

Don't bother with higher nitro. When I got my 4-stroke I talked to several plane guys, and they all said 15% nitro is as high as you want to go. They said anything over 15% you really won't notice a difference.

Also the engines are made to run on 10-15% nitro anyway.

gonzobot

finished up the throtle linkage and mounted the carb all thats left now is the brake, and cooling fan

My Feedback: (1)

Looks good. Where are you mounintg the fan at? How can I get one of those SWEET dinosaur posters?

gonzobot

lol you would have to ask my little bro bout the dino poster. for the fan i think ill mount it in between the exhaust and the vavle cover

rcnitrohead

Nice! I can't see your vid cause my PC is screwed up right now, but I'm glad you got it running. [sm=thumbup.gif]

Looking very very good there gonzo!!! keep it up man; like i said cant wait to see some video and/or pics of it in action!!!! [8D]
