With detroit P selling the R/C max GT40 at under $1000.00 and with a modded WT990 and a booster pipe with a stinger mod done to it for flow , It is the best deal hands down in the long run!

I'm from Denmark so buying an RCmax will in my case be bought from UK.

They do write that we can expect a power increase between 15% to 25%.

Doug . I think you and I should rush right out and do this . It will give us almost 12 hp(11.75hp) total from what Speedloader is saying here. We'd be getting closer to Z's hp on his 70cc. Oh wait We already have more than he does right now. :D:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Just kidding Z i know your getting close.

:rolleyes::LOL::LOL::LOL: 11.75 hp?? I'll ask Sean oneil if he has tested this? he has a dyno.........
 
So I took a deep breathe and did a little more digging. I looked back at historic reviews, circa 2012 for this unit, and the power increase on MMR's dyno was minimal. Nothing close to a 15% power increase. However, the spool time on an unloaded motor was measurably faster due to the slightly modified timing and smaller diameter of the flywheel, which made for a snappier throttle response. This was on a 29.5cc Trevor Simpson motor.

I can see running a smaller diameter flywheel with the same overall weight of the stock flywheel making throttle response snappier. It makes sense. The same weight on a shorter flywheel will not produce the same strain on the crank at the end of each stroke and absolutely should increase throttle response. This would also explain the need for more aggressive cooling. You have a smaller surface area trying to move the same amount of air to cool the engine.

I think with the "butt dyno", this piece of kit will probably feel like it makes a more powerful motor, but the reality is that it just makes the same power, but it a bit more responsive to throttle inputs, which I don't doubt. I still feel like it would only make a difference to someone on a competitive circuit where the extra throttle response would give them that tiny little edge.

But hey, if you have the money to burn, go for poop and let us know if it makes your model any faster! BTW, vids, or it didn't happen! :ROFLMAO:?

I'm looking forward to hear from Sean @ OBR on this. He definitely has my ass beat as far as insight on these little 2-stroke bastards!

They review you saw, was that on the V2 or V1 version?
