New to me 5ive t

This one has CY markings on the crank case.

Lord I had a guy freak out on me for implying that cy might be making parts/all of rovans motors. He apparently does R&D for them.* eyeroll*

Doesn't rev high, doesn't have any torque, carb heat issues.

 

[phoenix08]

Would running an isolator help the heat issue?

Rovan motors are not cy . They say that, but they aren't. Cy motors are extremely reliable. They don't make much power but they are good stock engines. Rovan engines are trash , unreliable,and don't make power lol

To me a clone engine is taking credit for a design that had plenty of r&d money put in for them to copy and sell at max profit. Thats my gripe with that and I won't support clone engines or rigs

It has to do with the pipe,not so much the isolator

Based on the markings from the ones I've handled, they appear to be coming from the same factory.

I have a hunch rovan motors are a lot liek a lot of products produced in that region...... you tell the factory what you want to pay per unit, and how many, they adjust materials and QC to accommodate

A new pipe would be a start? but not sure anyone besides jetpro make one?‍

Maybe so , but they're is definitely a difference between the two. there's a reason hpi and Losi used to put them in their rigs, they are extremely reliable.

Oh that's definitely the plan, I bought it mainly to have a 4wd companion to the 2wd, and have something to pickup and run.... have to many HPI projects to do much to it right now haha

 

[evssv]

my mate runs a g32 with that pipe an his 5ive moves ....?...albe it very loudly ?........

 

[phoenix08]

Anyone know what wheels those are? They're aluminum... but no idea

 

[Z.hb71]

[evssv]

alloy wheel.gorder

Ddm billet wheels ?

...which aint cheap?
so between the 3x savox's and pipe and rims....there's 250-300 easy.... on a good day

 

[Rep732]

You scored on this... look at it this way I paid $1482 for my 2.0 plus a transmitter around 140 plus my total from DDM is 1,761.81. From Detroit performance for the red arrow i paid just under 600 for the engine with overnight shipping and the olimat pipe was 236 shipped plus other odds and ends and new wheels and tires off the forum
