Taking a Zenoah Engine apart for the first time...🤯

[ferrebee88]

Definitely a learning experience! I am Taking a Zenoah G320 32cc engine and putting a ESP 34cc modified/race ported top end kit in it.

This is a video I took a couple years ago of the same engine setup but in my Kraken Vekta.5. I bought the ESP34cc race ported engine as a whole for the Vekta.5, but I am taking the Zenoah G320 32cc engine from my new Losi 5t 2.0 and putting the top end upgrade kit in it. The Losi 5t 2.0 is lighter, so that engine should rip! In this video, I only use about half the throttle because of the limited space. I'll get a video of the 5t out in the open when I get it running!

Very cool!!! Thanks for posting that!
Sounds very snappy and looks like plenty of power on tap to move that monster around.
Loud!!!

I took it to a park near me with a huge open field with a nice knoll to jump over. I expected to piss some people off and get yelled at, but... I ended up surrounded by kids mesmerized and trying to chase it I had to tell them to stay back... "That thing weighs almost 50 pounds and you gonna be leaving in a stretcher if it hits you."

Well, I got it put back together and fired up. Here is a little video of the first start-up. I'll post another one when I get a chance to run it wide open.

Ought to be a ripper! Nice work!

 

[CertifiedMike]

It sounds great!!!!

Hopefully I'll get to take it out this weekend... between work, family, home projects.... hard to find the time to take this to the local park.

This is my biggest reason for not getting into large scale. No time or specific place to dedicate to running them.
I can drop an 1/8 or 1/10 in the driveway for fun and not need to carve out 'time'.

I hope it runs as good as it sounds!!! Good luck!!!

Just terrorize your neighborhood streets, that’s what I do

Something went wrong! I finally got it to the wide open field at the local park to tune it. Got a few runs in, went to rev it, and not much happened. I heard something slipping and the truck barely moved. Time to take it apart and see what I screwed up! Hopefully something simple!

Just throw that whole silly thing in a box and send it to me before you start spending any money on it!
Oil on the clutch surfaces?
I hope its easy too!
I've been waiting on new videos of this for a long time now!

 

[ferrebee88]

If it ran perfectly the first time I'd be tempted to just let you have it! The tinkering is what does it for me!

Umm... I know I put lock tight on those engine bolts... I guess I should have cleaned them with brake cleaner first... Hard fornthe pinion to stay lined up when 3 of the bolts fall out
