how difficult would it be to do something simular to this.

this looks like a good setup and looks like it could fit a tmaxx chassis with no problem.

cool idea
hes pretty dedicated to making it "REAL"

2stroke nitros are real engines as well but :S
 
well i do happen to know where i can get a brand new o.s. .40 four stroke. with that engine it would definitely have some go. also has any one used the perry fuel pump?
 
matt you don't understand four strokes one bit so as i said in my other post take a hike.
 
Seems like the setup in the vid is bit complicated for an off-road rig. A lot to break and go wrong. I love the simplicity of a 2 stroke motor. Not to mention the sound!

I know the OS 4 stroke has been used a couple of times. I think one of the magazine's did a project vehicle with one.

Props for being different!
 
No reaper you need to take the hike. Matt is right. that 4 stroke will not hang with any good 2 stroke. and supercharging it would give it alot more power and torque. you don't know your way around a motor so quit beating on him when hes giving his opinion. and mods please don't ban me
 
no offense suicide but this has to do with a little more than just this post. also it does not have much of a rpm or hp rating but it doesn't need it. that engine is all about torque. so it is more suited to rock crawlers or pullers. if speed is your goal than 2 strokes are the only way to go but if you want some true grunt you gotta have the 4 stroke.
 
i dont care about elsewere. he gave his opinion. you chewed him out on an opinion that wasn't bad. if you have a beef with the dude take to the free for all and duel it out there. if your going for torque in that 4 stroke you need to supercharge it. especially since its a 4 stroke you can supercharge it without any ill effects. but that os motor only has .5 hp at 17,000 rpm. a 3.3 has .9 at 38,000 rpm. and the picco .26 had 1.8 at 37,000 rpm. that picco will always have more torque and power than that 4 stroke. even if you supercharge it, it may only get to 1.0 hp. Imo Matt gave his honest opinion and you gave him Sh!t on it for no reason
 
how long before this ends up in the ffa. i even looked at the other post where this started. it look's to me like he tried to help you and you got a case of the A$$ and told him to leave because he didn't know your setup. if he didn't know your setup and hes trying to help you just let him help. you don't go say take a hike you don't know my setup
 
is he your friend or something. because that was not an opinion that was a bit from another post where i asked why a four stroke can benefit from a supercharger. unless you catch the whole argument please think a bit before you start getting all worked up. and the main issue with four strokes is that you need to choose the two stroke you are going to compare to and then double the four strokes size to properly compare them. its kind of like the battle between diesel and gas. gas gets all the hype because it can use a smaller engine to produce similar power but once the bigger diesels come out the gas people get real quiet unless they are arguing about speed. and you keep mentioning hp like its the only factor. if a engine doesn't have torque then it has to run immense amounts of rpm's before it starts to do anything. just look at rotary engines. they are slow off the line but due to their rpm's they can just scream at the top end with a much smaller size when compared to standard engines.
 
your going places with this where there is no comparison. that os 4 stroke in a tmaxx would require mods so that when your done you could have a BB chassis and a picco p28 in there. and that is the torqueist motor out there. its got more torque than the picco 26 red dot. I'm saying that without a supercharger on that motor youd get nowhere near the torque of the picco p28. which i know

oh and if you don't know how a 4 stroke benefits from a supercharger then you don't know sh!t about 4 strokes

he wanted a question so i gave him one. also you seem dead set on two strokes. the question was how hard would it be to do a similar setup on a tmaxx. also due to the lack of small sized 4 strokes would it be more efficent to run two smaller ones on a extended chassis rather than one large one.
 
You could always put a 40t bell on to get a little speed. With a four stroke motor and all that aluminum, you might break the record for the heaviest Maxx ever. Running gas is enticing, but far from practical. Technology moves fast, though.

it would still be lighter than most supermaxx's i have seen and not to mention the fully done up integy shelf queens. four strokes make up for their weight with down low grunt.
