v twin engine

[Sockmonkey]

Here's a V-Twin that was at the Nurnberg show. Can't find any specs, but the way the guys are talking about it in the RC cars forums it must be over 32CC.



It is a nitro engine so must put out way too much HP to be legal in Calif (2 HP limit).

Here, you can get plans to make your own 32cc V-twin- only $40...the plans, that is:

The description actually says this: "Besides just being a nice engine to have and operate, this engine would be great fun on a bicycle..."

Looks like a good candidate for a rack mount.

Watch Buddfab's other vids while you're at it. I love his filming style. The "automatic" intake valve, VW boxer based thumper is awesome !

so you think a nitro r/c car engine would work on a bike?
good luck trying to figure out a chain and sprocket set up that would actually work.
these little nitro r/c car engines make tons of rpm, but very little torque.
Think about it, an r/c car on average weighs about 1o pounds.
A bicycle can weigh up to 70 pounds not including the rider.
the power to weight ratio would be WAY different.
besides that, nitro fuel is $40.00 a gallon!
