it just to much money mate even at that price its a lot to spend mate i know its @8hp but come on are they really worth that much more than a tuned zenoah
 
Still too much when you can get a Stevo or Oddie for less.........AND BZM are Italian if I remember rightly.......not reknowned for reliable engineering.......and they beat us on penalties!!!!
 
i just don't think a fg could handle that much power mines on the limit now but in a mcd/losi yeah its a good engine but fg's i just cant see it holding up to long

plus my oddified 29cc zenoah mk2 ecu and oddie clutch was less than that

An expensive door stop. I've been told that MMR has boxes of them on the shelf because their "wonder engine" hasn't sold in the 1000's as they said it would, so if you are after a new door stop or paper weight then just hang on a month or two.

yes but being Italian at least 2 of the 8.5hp will give up and surrender :lol::lol:

I cant believe its not on the top of your shopping list to be fitted before the next race Mike :p
 
ive read about tthe crap castings and shoddy workmanship, ive heard off a friend too that has one of these that he is on 3rd piston already as the previous two had broken ,has had problems, he also a a zenoah 4 bolt which has full mod tuning and he says that pulls harder from low and its ahell of alot more reliable then the bzm. but then again,it is a obr engine,so i can see where hes coming from lol....
i honestly think the 28.5s bzm's rev so hard , but for the price i could have nearly brought 2 fullmods .
being interested in all these pipes and engines is a reason idf have one, id like to see what they are like inside, something different....maybe good for a shelf quuen lol...

I'm thinking of selling mine soon, not because i don't like them just i could do with some funds to keep the buggy going..i bought a OBR FM before i got hold of the BZM TT, so i have just fitted that and done the first heat cycle..
The Bzm TT i have does pull well i must say but i have had to just fit a new piston and ring to it as the piston had a hair line crack in it due to it being over ported (replaced FOC) and i have also fitted a new insulator and gasket..
Going to put up soon for £500 posted..

The red head is also newish, only had max 4 tanks through it..

The only thing with it is one of the exhaust bolt holes has lost its thread so will need either re-tapping or helicoiling to a larger size, i've fitted a threaded bar and put a nut on the back end, had no probs since..
