Pulling the trigger on a OBR 34 reed

[Milo]

Don’t get Black Magic gears, they are as good as a concrete parachute.

 

[Mick Boomer]

Only reason I want them is because I like having the gear cover on. Im not a fan of the blackbone design not having the gear cover.

So If I order the 100 or 110 octane modded engine, am I gonna have any issues with the stock pullstarter? Assuming they bump the compression up?
I run VPc12

Yes if you don't have your start technic down

I also am thinking about getting the obr 34. Started out looking into big bores but the 34ss is half the price. Any thoughts?

What made you decide on the obr 34

 

[Mick Boomer]

I was impatient and didn’t want to wait on the taylor 35 to come out. Lol I love the obr though. Cant go wrong. Anything bigger than the 34 youll need to upgrade the entire tranny.

I love my obr 34 signature series. With the balanced crankshaft and 1242 carb it’s a legit demon.

Do you wish you got the 35 or big bore?

Notice anything with the "more" balanced crank? I'm only saying as the stock one has to be within some degree of balance as it would just come apart.

Nah the 34ss is a better engine than the 35 in terms of performance and reliability. The 35 v2 should be coming out soon which may bring it close to equal to the 34ss. I’m not into the big bore poop tried it but it wasn’t for me

This is the second 34ss I’ve owned. This one I have with the balanced crankshaft hits higher rpm’s then my last engine and feels faster. There’s alot of variables obviously but I’m a believer

I believe it Bobby, I'd suspect it has less rotational mass with it being balanced and lightend. I'd be intrigued to try one.

it is alot of money and for the amount of use its gonna get i probably should just get the 34ss. but il probably want a big bore later lol

Probably but that’s the game bigger, faster, stronger, shinier and on and on

 

[Mick Boomer]

The balance crank will help with reliability
