Your killing me kid .... I don't think your in a position to talk with owning that fire hammer you got or the redcat you gave a chance...have a little optimism on the first post son

 

[RcJunkie13]

Pity you're not down here or I might consider the Redcat

The case looks nice but it's being stuffed with dogshit internals so I haven't got much hope. Same thing with that brovan motor. Doesn't matter who builds it, poopy internals are poopy internals

Im actually being serious when I say this. I haven't heard of any failures of the Brovan engine. I think its due to there not being enough in the wild but is there a high failure rating with that engine?

piston/writst pin bearings like to poop the bed

Let us know a price point on the engine. I watch your YouTube all the time when you go live. Rcpyroone. People get butthurt on here about rovan stuff. don't let it bother you. I enjoy your content.

Thank you I wish I would have know about this forum sooner. Thanks for your support. As of now this is a prototype but as we test wade will release pricing. Stay tuned!

I think the above statement was about the whole forum. No one in this thread seems “butt hurt”

 

[Rep732]

Eh so you've been here for 3 weeks? And you bash the forum, so why are you still here if you feel that way? Is it a free way for you to advertise your "prototype?

Excuse me I didn’t write anything about bashing the forum. I replied to someone who had something to add about the post. In no way advertising wade is proud of his work and wanted to share.

Aren't those 71cc rovans fairly expensive on their own?
By the time you pay for the reed case and extra bits it might be getting near the cost of a Taylor engine?
might not be worth it in the end

The base price of the rovan 71 is $600. This is the stock case that has been adapted. This will be no where near the price of a Taylor 71-88 which is well over 2k

Add a reed case, replacement parts needed, labor, and the pipe and you may be getting real close to the price of a 40GT.
It looks like a fun experiment however Taylor will "for the foreseeable future" have the price/performance crown. BTW don't let the small size of the 40GT confuse you. It's pulling large power thanks to it's completely custom design from a dude who really knows how to build engines and the best part of it all is that it's not even ported.

Again this is the STOCK case that has been modified. There is no need to buy a new case. There are no replacements parts needed either. If you are interested in learning more details wade is explaining the process on his channel

I know SRE.... BTW take into consideration you need the tools and skills to do this. Im a full on CNC machinist and I'll tell you that the average Joe does not have a lathe and Mill sitting in their garage. I stand by my statement. The only way that this engine could be made is if the investment has been made by someone who not only knows how to build engines but has all these machines that you probably use for other things then building model engines.

BTW I have built and ported some engines using Chinese parts so I know a thing or 2 about them. The Rovan 71 is a turd not only confirmed by me but also confirmed by TMR performance which is another shop that is fairly competent at modifying Zenoah engines. The reason so is the ports and positions of parts that fight itself to run. Yeah sizeable chunks can be taken out of the ports at the expense of causing the engine to be structurally weaken to the point of blowing up. There are reports of people being able to score their pistons just by holding the engine and pushing on the heat fins a little bit.

Like I said before cool project but its too expensive.
