Hi, if you follow BOTAJELL (shout out to him) and activly read his comments you'd probably know that I've been chatting with him about this build for the last 4+ months but if you haven't here's some back story, 6 months ago my 30.5cc rovan engine blew up from manufacturer error (not enough base gaskets on cylinder head) and I really really really wanted a big bore like a 46 or a 71cc rcmax or alx but I couldn't justify spending the $1600 to $2400 bucks for one and it would take forever to save up for one so I decided I wanted to build one. So now that your up to date let's get back to present day, I've currently got almost all the parts (missing intake, exhust) so I decided to start the thread alittle early to show you what I'm doing. The parts Im using are the Athena HPR cylinder kit (for piaggio), alx crankcase, Zenoah g26pum flywheel, vforce Reed, polini 6202 c4 bearings, wj 71 carb ( eventually will be switched out to a wb3a 25mm carb because that's what Athena recommends to get the full 18 (once done I'll test it on a Dyno to see the real life power) horsepower, black Bone gears 28 46 ratio, moto force head studs, bzm cranksahft, and top racing connecting rod. The motor will be running Klotz super techniplate after break in I want to switch to Amsoil dominator and maybe try Motul 800. This is by no means a totorial it's just to show my work and my goal is not to take anything away from ALX or RCMAX and I don't want people doing this I want people to actually support ALX and RCMAX, I'm just doing this for a experiment type thing. Also don't get the impression that I think I know everything or I'm trying to sound like it because I'm certainly not trying to be a know it all or trying to sound like I know everything, your still with me right?
