cookie666uk Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Would it be possible, or indeed has anyone done it, to put a 125 (or bigger) in a 5th scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark35 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Anythings possible, but good luck with that one..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm considering a completely scratch built 5th scale. And for a bad and silly idea it needs a silly power source. Is there an already available drive train that may cope with the power a 125 2 stroke would produce? I know people put 70cc lumps in these cars. Is 125 too far?

mark35 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Dont think it could happen with parts off the shelf, but like said anythings possible with the right skills. Be interesting to see how you get on if you go for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It would be useless, clutch and gearbox would be the first headache, even a semi-auto box. Then there's the weight of it all. Doable maybe, worth it no. That's my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munch Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Why would you ever need that much power.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Purely from an engineering perspective really. As far as off the shelf goes it would be restricted to stuff that's a headache to machine like bevel gears etc. If you can buy it for less than 50 quid it's not worth trying to make it yourself lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
