RE: Introducing the FlowRam36cc Motor for Losi and Redcat
Cool. Do these cars suffer from the shaft "whip"? I was thinking of a pillow block, with a bearing mounted here (X) good idea or not? Just thinkin' out loud, can't help it.........

RE: Gas vs Nitro thoughts & etc
So is it 50:1 oil mix? If there's a narrow power band, surely that's useable by boat guys? (with the right pipe of course) This would be a leap forward by the emissions police? Foxy are you a "doubting Thomas"? This motor surely has use in some applications. Whether HPI sees the ROI or not is the REAL question. The only issue I see is an ignition system that can keep up with the hi revs. After market Magneto, anyone? One that won't stuff up radio contact?[&:]

RE: Largescale Forum Options??
True, look at what happened with the ol' T-MAXX, you could make one without going to Traxxas at all. THE AFTERMARKET CROWD WILL PRODUCE STUFF IF THE PLATFORM HAS MERIT. Not a buck to be made otherwise, and that's the lowest common denominator. Western society, chaps.

RE: Largescale Forum Options??
Yeah I suppose a "home brew" sub forum may be the way... That way the large scale forum is kept to mainstream manufacturers... but some fellas have some great ideas - out of the box thinking.... which the manufacturers should pay attention to sometimes. Kinda gives them a feel for what's missing in the market; albeit for a few. Having said that, the "few" do what they do, because there are no products to satisfy their needs, hey. And because they can, I reckon. Wouldn't matter to me, I like seeing what dudes get up to in the "Man Shed"....always something different, which is what I am drawn to....new ideas can't hurt, it's what makes the Mk II better than the Mk I.

RE: Couple questions before diving into homade rc
Have a look at what C.Lyra did too. Also theres Vass, Kenazzo, DVP, Stiggwelder (roofchopper), Bob Stormer, Lars to name a few. Sorry if I missed anyone, but if you want light weight, well alloy will be lighter than steel If you have a TIG, that shouldn't be a prob. Some fellas have done balsa bodies, some got super keen and vac formed a lexan one, others have made wooden bucks as a plug, then made a mold, and now can make as many 'glass bodies as they wish. Just takes time and dedication. If you have the "idea" in your head, just keep chipping away 'til you get there. It is a very rewarding experience when you start it up, take it for a spin and say, "yeah, I made that".

RE: Trike project
Lookin' good mate.....[8D] do you think the front shocks should lean more up to the vertical plane than they are now? Laying down that flat, they might not work as good as potentially possible.....just thinkin' out loud is all. Do you have a body shell in mind? Kinda like the Can-Am trikes?

RE: New 1:4 RWD Pick Up
mmmm.... maybe go 1:1 from the motor to the grinder head, you'll still be somewhere around 8:1. And the grinder head will need to pivot on the same axis as those lower rods. Otherwise the primary drive will stretch & shrink in an arc with relation to rear suspension movement...if you get my drift

RE: Trike project
bicycle chain is a different pitch, and has long thin links to flex over the length where de raillers work. Plus you pedal at way less RPM than a 2 stroke can.
