HP rating of a KM 29.5 Ported Engine?

[almighty15]

What you reckon they kick out?

[Oh How Original]

Enough.

 

Seriously, don't get bogged down by what hp figures companies claim.

You've got the '8.2'hp OBR, that gets left behind by the 5.5hp oddie.

It's more about power delivery, torque curve and so on.

I used to think the higher the hp the engine, the better it must be, but after using the 32 Zen, which has the same hp claim as the G290, I can honestly say, ignore the hp figure.

Bragging rights, innit! HP is all important when discussing yer badger over a pint or three

The main with the nicely tuned lump says nowt, sups his ale and goes home with a wry smile, possibly picking up a bag of chips and a pickled egg on the way

Not too much to brag about when you get left behind though lol.

[Nitroholic]

No claim...no shame

 

And I'll have a pickled egg too.

 

Only time I would trust a 'claimed' horsepower figure is if the motor has actually been put on a dyno and properly measured. It's right up there with 'top speed' figures for wasting time worrying about. If my car feels slow and sluggish....I'll do something about it.

[flatout!]

I cant wait to see what i can get out of this reed iv picked up, iv got to get a 30.5 zenoah head, iv got a stuffed stroker to drop init to

[Bigjimknickers]

I reckon less than my 1.5 HP CY 23cc.

This is just my opinion though.

[Noj]

Not the 10hp of a 2028 either, he 'claimed' never having had it on a dyno, but believing Castles hype whilst tucking into chips

Fanboiiiii

Really? Why you think it's that low??

[Bigjimknickers]

I've got both & imo the CY 23cc is far superior

In what way though? Being a bit vague on the claim here.

[kkppww91]

I have a pro mx340 in my losi. I was wanting the most hp engines at first.

Glad I didn't because the promx is a lot more powerful than I was expecting.

that cy23 must be ported and polished lol.

[flatout!]

Never heard so much flannel in my life, lol!

It pulled the Dbxl along really (23cc) nicely, the KM 29cc was disappointing from the start, from my personal experience (I've had two KM's) as soon as the KM engine is replaced there is a huge difference.

I took the 29cc out of my baja & put a CY F270 in an the difference was night & day.

Based in this I'd say the CY23cc is a superior engine.

I M O.

I've also had both these engines from brand new along with the 30.5cc as well and their was nothing wrong with the 29... You must have had something wrong with your Jim, ther 23 is certainly a little screamer but the 29 was quicker off the line for me.

The 30.5 rags my friends XB around as well which is a 4WD so pulls a very similar drivetrain to the DBXL.

[almighty15]

Got a new rolling chassis that around the same weight as a 5ive so hopefully my KM should do OK in it.

[Oh How Original]

What is it?

[almighty15]

Tis a secret but it will weigh 15kg with the engine installed.

[andyknight]

Most likely a 5ive turned into a buggy then.

[almighty15]

Nope... it's in no way shape a form any RC made by losi.

[flatout!]

I think its the x1 from rc modelz, im gunner ask john if ya bought one lol! Lmao!

thats going to be the next 5th scale in my book, losi 5b. Mmmmm!

I'd have to do some serious modifications to the X1 to make it work for me but that's just me!

[almighty15]

It's not anything made by King Motor or any of the brands associated with clones.
