kangarilla Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 so is the zen 320 a good base or is there other options, last time i mithered Nige at freeprawn about engines he suggested that if he wanted to go for a bash he'd have take the cy27.2 off the shelf before the zen 320, is was a couple of years ago though, when i wanted an engine upgrade. Is there any others without getting silly with reeds and bullrushes , frogs and toads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I think it depends on what the weight of the RC is. I would go a with a 27.2CY over a G320 in a Baja but in a 5ive or any other heavy RC I would go with the G320 over the 27.2CY. If I do get a DH then i'll be chucking in a G320 and then when it's worn i'll be chucking an ESP head kit on it. For £215 the G320 really is a hard engine to beat for heavy trucks.

Feedtheinferno Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Unless you go silly and buy something that's a 50 or 70.....in fact I wonder if development has started on some large engines for them yet.

.AJ. Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure within a few days of release someone would have managed to fit a bigger cc lump in one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangarilla Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 now this is just silly, cant find anything with it really opened up. And i know its a little off topic.. but come on, this guys got too much time and money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYPER-BOY Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah the 27.2 was a stunning little engine for the money, geared right in the Baja and it kept up with engines double its price and revved it's nuts off! In a bigger heavier machine tho, not enough torque I would have imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangarilla Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 possibly use the 4 stroke in the baja above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangarilla Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 not really fella, tbf there a couple of differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Not really, There maybe a couple of differences, Put money on that is all he has done, Maybe he used a better quad, But you can see it's still quad, Independent front suspension, And fixed rear axle, That is a cut and shut quad all day long.

kangarilla Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Possibly so just struggling to find a quad with the same wheels, and hes not done this in a weekend either. just thought it curious to peoples driving forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 That's why it's a cut and shut, Just like an RC car, Cut the quad chassis in front of the engine, Add extensions, And just build it up from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
