What motor do you want to get? Don’t like the obr?

Love the obr, just the 30.5cc doesn't have the bottom end I want. I'd like a 34. Probably obr. We will see when the time comes round ?

So the axle pins I've used in the past have always been hardened steel. And with grease, they would hold up great , but without grease they would last probably last max 30 mins. So, what if I used tungsten for axle pins? It's supposed to be the hardest metal

You'll wear your cups out.

Well fek ? ?

Tungsten is brittle, they would snap very easily

Ah. So fek that idea then. May ditch the irp turnbuckles and just spend the $$ and buy irc so I don't have to feck around with the axle boots and tiny ass pins Bullshit ? unless that's a bad trade-off ?

 

[John Parks]

Boots are an good idea but not needed eith the IRC kit. His newest kit to is even stronger.

That's not what I meant . I meant, I wouldn't spend $60 on irp turnbuckles and put that money towards the irc axles so I can SKIP the boots and grease bs. Would that be a good trade, better axles instead of stronger steering setup?

I just don't get why your going through axle pins so fast.

Im only going thru pins when I run without boots. With boots, they have lasted 2+ gallons, and show zero signs of wear.

 

[Z.hb71]

So I bought something that is feking expensive (for me) ? any guesses? And D Fresh you keep quiet ??
