if you look through my albums and see it as a rolling marder way back when i started the build and look at now its crazy,,as for where does it stop it don't you keep ploding on changing things here and there till your happy but you never are
i was just checking out the album before i read this message,it has really come on,looks better now! but as you said,it will be going through another face lift again......it sure is an expensive hobby.
new products stream out and technology changes, i guess to standstill is to be left behind.the new oddie will be right upto date with engine 'know how'.

to be honest it wont have much more power,were mines meant for on road racing it delivers its power different to off road racing hence why my car will not pull wheelies but i think with the engine ian recomended for my setup im going to need more than a wheelie bar,,,but its not going to rev quite as mental as the 23cc which i will miss but sooner or later its going to explode it just sounds wrong
how you getting on with finding a pipe? I just thought ,if you haven't been able to get intouch with david, you should message ddm,they are suppliers of victory pipes.they can get you the bb which has a great bottom /mid p[ower. also, don't forget there are other pipes,my jetpro goes very well with the 27.2 lr,both are high revving.
goodluck,let me know how you get on.
I haven't been able to get in touch with anybody at Victory at all. I am thinking about going with the BZM 28.5cc which means I would have to wait and see what's the best pipe for that particular motor anyway. Have you heard of anything new about the BZM that would dissuade me from getting that one besides the price?
ive heard people moaning about parts availability, they are made for rc cars and seem to be a nice hi revving motor. they are expensive but i guess will also be expensive to get spares? supposed to eat clutchs(can only use stock 2 shoe clutch) need to fettle abit to get it to fit!
i took my engine out my marder because it was ripping it apart, what fg do you have?
victory are making a pipe for bzm now!!! there are loads of thread on baja sites regarding pipes and dynos for bzm.flow systems pipe is supposidly best
i was looking into them but when i seen videos of the bzm and obr lr,they both seemed very powerful,but bzm is alot more expensive.i will wait until they have been out a little longer, they still a new engine.lets see how they go! why don't you just order the vic bb or vic pro for your fg? they are in your country!!
im looking into the obr twin and bzm 50 at the moment, these smaller engines cant touch them!!! they are craZY!!!
BY THE WAY,BZM IS ADVERTISED AT 8HP, other engine builders have dynoed it with the dom,flow system,dom etc, the best upto now is around 7.2hp!!! i know dynos differ. for £700 i want more.
if you have a bigger budget and are a hp junkie,then go for a bzm 50 or obr twin,nothing,i mean nothing will come close!

Yeah I agree. The price they are charging for there engines is to high. I know there is a guy on here that like to explain the superiority of the engine but it hasn't been proven yet and I'm not going to pay for the promise of it lasting longer or putting out massive HP that has not been confirmed by anyone else but them. I currently have the FG Marder and I want the victory pro pipe for it but it doesn't exist as far as I know for my car. If it does please point me in the right direction and I would snap one up in a second. I am a HP junkie but I need to get the most HP and speed from a engine no larger than a 30.5cc. It's a drag racing thing!!
hi buddy,here is the link for pro pipe.

the bzm is a very nice engine,have you been on their site and seen the picture of the internals,looks very promising but like i said for a few hundred ontop i could get something alot more potent. i know the bzm is the latest technology and that but i want more power for that sort of money as i can get similar power for far less!
they do sound awesome and rev nicely .

now to me that pipe looks the same as my vrc pipe wheres the difference other than a little plate welded on the side that says victory it looks exactly as mine does and i run a modded engine without any trouble
two of them are for stock engines, 1 is for tuned. the ones made for tuned engines give more power and revs on a tuned engine than the pipe for stock .it will still work but the timing of the sonic pulse returning back to the cylinder will be out of sync with the e-port opening again.(to supercharge)
mine looks like the standard vrc pipe,there are suttle differences but all the important stuff is inside. the ones with the plates on the side are made for tuned engines, the bigbore and pro,the vrc for stockers.
the early pro pipes didnt have the plate,maybe you have one of them, i wouldnt be surprised.
when i changed from the hormann pipe to the victory,the difference was huge, all over the rpm's.
