almighty15 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just the king motor version of the MX's...... my wedding is less then 4 weeks away now so need to be a little careful with spendage. Either way they should make a pretty big difference. Will sell the stock ones on to recoup some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Silly question bit it wouldn't be the air filter restricting the RPM due to poor air flow would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 What filter you got on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Silly question bit it wouldn't be the air filter restricting the RPM due to poor air flow would it? your not going to have poor rpm and massive wheelspin, some people fit a velocity stack to get better air flow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) your not going to have poor rpm and massive wheelspin, some people fit a velocity stack to get better air flow I use a velocity stack and the TGN angled filter.... some people on the net claim it doesn't flow enough air for high RPM's.

sean-vrs Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 i only use standard filters, lightly oiled ive never felt the need for anything else, what i do know though a bigger engine will not make your truck faster, gearing does that what the big block will do is get to your top-end quicker, more tourque will also let you pull taller gears which will then get you to your higher top end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I've always said the same thing, bigger CC doesn't always mean faster, nor does being tuned, it maybe tuned purely for torque to pull a 5ive or something. To make the most of a purely torquey engine you need to go very high on gearing with a quality clutch and bell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Already on mine its sat waiting to be run in a bit more and then im going for it with the gearing, maybe off road but im gunner try on road with a set of new dog bones Some belted slicks and this new 813 carby iv just chucked on it lol! Some say it's better than the 990 but its just the pump thats different but Yeh iv got the drive train to hold the power just the dog bones and it'll hold its own, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Silly question bit it wouldn't be the air filter restricting the RPM due to poor air flow would it? My dbxl had a short bash at oxshott, it was running like a pig after that, I was puzzled, checked the air filter with outwears on it & it was filthy, after no time! So is yours really clean?

Even with them jumping the start I still overtake them!! What did you change mate? You seemed a bit underwhelmed at the beginning of the thread, Or is it just now you have something to physically compare it too?

almighty15 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 All I've changed is the tires!! Just a set of the King Motor version of the Hostile MX's. It's still got no traction off the line at all but one it finds grip it's BRUTAL in the mid and high ranges! I imagine that with harder compound and even better tires it would see a big improvement still. I've also made the rear suspension soft so it handles the torque and reduces the wheelies.

Crazy arnt they It's been flying like a boss today.... I'll see on some better tires after my wedding when have some funds to see if I can get it faster.... Wes's Baja that's a stock 26cc with a V2 does 41mph and mine just keeps pulling on it so I should be around the 50mph mark, maybe more, and it gets there so quickly!! How's the reed?

flatout! Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Cracking kid thanks, just had a bit of carb trouble but its sorted now, That motor sounds good, the one dean was running was loads quicker than my 29, the difference was night and day lol! Just shows what a bit of port work does, if they no what there doing that is, Good having some power in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Power is good..... power is really good...... TTO helps to tune as well as I just lean/richen until I get the best RPM. Think I topped out at 17,800rpm today on the DOM clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobie007 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 After my recent engine woes, im probably going to drop the money on an obr full mod this week, uncertain of which yet, i was gonna opt for the g340, stick on 20/54 and see what happens lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gears you running now still plenty more revs to be had should be topping out that TTO then you'll see some speed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titaniumrc Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Depends 18k is OK on say normal length grass but what's normal? Footie pitch grass you should be topping that TTO out. Get on a nice length road less friction and you'll top it out easy, and with those tyres should see around 50 at 18k it will clearly Rev more than 18k and TBH you'd see a few MPH under 60 If you can't Rev that TTO out then my guess is the carb/exhaust is holding it back. Just under 19k on my clone Dom I think that was a 990, but once if set my carb I'd never mess with it. That was also on 21t Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 It was short'ish grass but was quite bumpy... I'll have another play over the week end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
