Bartolone 40cc now available at DDM

Agreed, its way to expensive. Yet for all we know its the best performing 40cc engine around. From what I've seen his lil 30.5 reeds are really fast. To rich for my blood regardless. I live in $300 engine world.?

We'll see ? my money is on rcmax but we need videeoooossss of this motor?

You're probably correct. Mabey one of the wealthy members will purchase one for research purposes and let us know. Psst...Doug, I think thats you.??

If you go to his website and check out the price of his 34 reed it's like $800..... or somewhere close to that? the hydro in ca must be top shelf?????

 

[Gaffle]

A good bit of the high price likely comes from the fact he lives in CA. Thats a very expensive state to do buisness in. Those costs get passed on to us. It is a ugly motor imo.

I honestly use to envy California and the people that live there. Beautiful weather, the recreations, the celebrity, and there was a certain cool factor from the people that came from there. Now it's a pompous, overpriced mess with regressive laws. No knock on you that live there... just the state as a whole and its ideals.

Regardless, $1900 for this engine is laughable. That's RCMax / ALX money and you don't have to worry about using Outerwears.

Their prices make zero feking sense honestly. I just looked, the alx super 40 is very similar, has the same malossi cylinder kit , has the same crankshaft (pretty sure!), A far better 70mm AlX complete clutch (bartolone has the 54mm) system, bigger 19mm carb, billet head (Bart has the cast head), alx sidepipe, billet pullstart, and your choice of anodizing and that's $1650. Yet the bartolone that doesn't have a lot of that stuff, is $1900 and you still need clutch and gearing poop. Honestly , total rip off.

I think his inspiration came from the scott Finlay rc40 evolution, funnily enough bartolone made the pipe for it?

The engine is based off the SF rc40 as mark said.

Just saw it listed on DDM today. Sorry but $1900 w/ pipe is insane. (5% DDM discount doesn't even apply to the engine nor the pipe ffs) You can get a 40cc RCMAX with a pipe for $300 less.

Kraken is supposed to have its version releasing shortly. My guess just like the Kraken T90 tranny. This engine will be heavily discounted by year's end.

Pretty disappointed as I was hoping to go with this engine in the spring. Looks like it's going to be an OBR 34cc instead...

RCMAX 40GT will kill this engine and much cheaper. I’ve seen the RCMAX 40GT beat a SF40.
I paid $1930 for my RCMAX 50GT complete with a Titanium pipe and we all know that the BART 40 won’t touch either one. Anyone that pays $1900 for pipe and Bart 40 are crazy.

Botajell has a video with a few of these engines up. Doesn't seem many will share his views but incase you're interested.
