Engine?

[jkoppk]

For bashing what motor would you pick .I am looking at the 47cc reed 5t combo and 34cc signature series reed?Almost identical price and my bartolone pipe would fit the 34cc.Which one and why,I'm not sure. Thinking 47 might be better in 4wd for torque, but the 34cc vids I looked at don't look like it's lacking in torque at all.Hmm..

As the old motto says theres no replacement for displacement

The 47 has a reputation for overheating gets a carb lean out??? the 34 with 21/58 ripps?? if i where you and I was prepared to drop $$$ on an OBR 47 Reed id rather get alx or rcmax 40-46-50cc would be $$$ Well spent

Don’t get the 47. Stick with the 34 signature or rcmax/Alex
I love my signature series. Has plenty of power for me. Granted I dint do speed runs in grass fields.

I would like to hear from actual 460/470 owners vs people who just repetet what they here. And not just quotes of old posts. Ive been using the 460 engine on gopeds since 2005 and would never run anything smaller. Never had issues with leaning out thats just user error ignorance and overheating id call bs once again user error running too lean

Regardless rcmax 46 or alx 50 will eat an obr 47 for breakfast ?

Gonna go with the 34ss I think. I would love the gt40 but equipped like I would get it is almost $1900 compared to $725.Also if I spend that much wife won't let me buy the proam chassis combo for xmas.?

Whats the benefit to the prom chassis? Link? And there's always the couch option for a few nites

Yep,planning on that and 2 more rc max billet diff cups to complete it like I want.

 

[Rep732]

Anything other than the cups needed or are they direct replacement?

Direct replacement, just need whatever fluid you choose.

 

[DougStar]

Pro-am chassis is one sexy bit of kit?? you don't have to have billet diff cups ? you could just run stock cups ?? but the billet is nice to have????

 

[Rep732]

I like my sexy bits ? @dougstar

My buddy had the 47 in his losi. He bought it in November of last year. He took it out and put his obr 30.5 back in it 2 months ago. That’s enough of a testimony for me.

I don't think there are enough people using it to take a chance on it.The RcMax motors have a big following so if you do go that route you have tons of people that can help.The 34cc seems like the best bang for your buck as far as OBR goes but the sig series is over a grand with all the bells and whistles.They raised their prices I believe but I could be wrong.

You can buy a reed 34 long block for round 400??
