looks good craig...if you want a custom nitrous kit give Ian oddie a call, he built a 10hp NOS wet kit engine with NOS and fuel soleniod for Pete at pro5thscale

I already know all about it buddy, its a NX kit with a 50cc solenoid jetted to 2.5bhp( i know its 2.5 but it increases engine power by this much is what it means) and its £350 which includes a 5oz bottle, looked into it but i don't think ill bother, all that weight plus quicker engine wear (granted not as much as a dry system).

Thanks anyways.

good choice staying away from it.

noz never took off in a two stroke,i considered it too for mine,couldnt imagine how fast it would eat clutches and clutch blocks,not to mention everything else.

i think the standard ported engine or reed as you have is all these chassis and its other components are able for.
 
hey

hey craig

i will have all my own stuff by the latest wednsday cant wait.

keep up the good work,i havnt ever seen anybody doing what your doing here it is a fully one off job for sure,well done,that is sure turning heads.

unreal job,its nice to see something differnt for a change.

Hey dude thanks alot:cool2:

Before i can do any more i need to wait on a few bits comming that i have ordered

-KPD full sensing limited slip dual clutch diff (can lock up to 100%)

-Alloy front hubs

-Screw kit(with the daunting task of powdercoating the heads of 340 screws :helpsmilie:)

Not only am i trying to make this look good, but i want it to perform as well

nice bunch of goodies there

i want to ask you something,my elcon drivetrain that i am getting next tuesday,well i ordered it from hobbythek and i got the works,helical gears etc etc,but one of the guys that works in the shop when i placed the order didnt reccomend the helical gears(i got them anyway) he just said that he wouldnt reccoment them... strange to me!

ever heard much about them?
 
heicoil gears are fine i have had 3 sets of them, the reason he prob didnt recomned them is they actually push away from each other (sideways) and produces stress underload, but they don't cause any problems with the elcon gear train as its all fixed, even on an fg i have not seen any problems, the theory is there but they all work fine, i have never seen people have any problems

Do I see here a problem with the state of front uprights?
By FG and Elcon A and B bulkhead, the upper arm slightly inwards.
The arm position of the KPD is just one above the other.
The upper arm is now too long, I see in the picture.
May be I have it wrong?;)
