Thanks. They are fun to build.

I was about to ask!! Wasn’t sure if you didn’t like the obr then switched to the big bore. How do you like the obr34ss

I thought it would be more powerful. The 55 has tons of power.

I put an obr 30.5 in my Baja 5b what an animal. I thought the 34 would be crazy but I guess in a 4x4 it takes a bit more to move it

Yes it’s heavy. Just doesn’t have the torque. I might put it into another hpi 5t I have an esp 27.2 in. That’s a screamer!

So let’s just say.. what if I ran the 32 or put a 35 in the five-t? What would you suggest for a good pipe?

If you have the money to put a big bore into a 5ive t do it other wise you'll regret the small blocks unless you race or are just content, but it doesn't seem you'll be content with a small block tho.

It’s a big commitment lol if I do it I can’t turn back so I’m kinda making a list and checking it twice.

 

[Rep732]

I don't blame you, I've built enough 34cc engines for my 5ive t and I still want to do a big bore.

 

[Crazybajabuild]

You see that’s where I’m stuck. I’ve built enough Baja 5t&5b it’s time for something new, five-t is a lot heavier so I need to get into the more expensive power lol. Should be fun. Do you think if I got a big bore, should get a 46gt or go bigger? I’ve never driven a big bore but they look sick
This is my buddies Baja 5t with a 46gt and it’s badass it def works good. This is why I want to build something!! I gotta compete with this

 

[Rep732]

So I happend across something here about Taylor rc big bores and I cannot find it again and I believe @John Parks can answer this. So I've read if you go with a 50cc you can jump to 55 and 65 can go to 71cc, mind you it's not correct and I hope John or @Clubin can clarify.

If it was me I'd go the middle road at like a 50 or 55cc so I can bore up and only have to buy top ends to keep the price down.

It all depends on what you want. Small bore and big bore are two completely different animals! I thought by buying a 50Gt it would still be on the smaller size. Once it arrived I realized how big of a difference it was.

No more sending a rig 15 feet into the air. It’s not made for that! A big bore changes everything , center of gravity, handling etc. if you want to tear up grass and do burnouts, wicked launches etc on flat ground go big block.

If you want to toss a rig through the air on big or off camber jumps, etc stay small block.

In 1/5 scale class there is no middle ground.

I don't want to derail clubins thread, but this is my 5ive-t with a 46gt. It was a fairly light build, and was an animal. I'd suggest start a build thread

 

[Rep732]

@John Parks I couldn't agree more. @Crazybajabuild start a thread and we will meet you there.

Sorry wasn’t trying to jack the thread. Just seemed like a lot of good info here! I will start a thread once I know what I’m doing lol. I do appreciate all the help.

 

[Clubin]

No problem boys.

There is 3 different strokes they start at
40 can change pot for a 55
46 can change pot for a 65
50 can change pot for a 71

Start a thread now. We are here to help.

I wish I wouldn’t have wasted so much money on small bore “magic” looking for more power. It’s just not there.

I agree , I’ve went all around not trying to buy a big block even had a Rovan 71 built ,,,ported/ Reed but you know the saying Big Boys with big toys , here I come Taylor RC
