I am not a fan of stock stuff, I love to mod the hell out of everything I own, including the XT that I don't even have yet, should be at my door in about a week. I love to make things as fast as possible! Please give me info?

The biggest and baddest. How does 18hp sound? Only about $2500.00

there was a fellow that used to frequent here from IT. He built his own engines from scratch. poster quite a few vids. these puppys would rock and roll to say the least. Idea-- yea, i know roatory engines lack torque @ lower rpm-s- but- what about a twin version? 2 times the roating mass- this would help in the torque department- a wankel can rev to the moon-- sayyy-- its 5:30 am here- west coast- rise and shine men- this aint no country club--lol!!

The twins are nice also. Just a bit more technical to stuff into the vehicle. :)

Big motors are great.now try to keep a reliable drive train in them.IMO a good ported 4 bolt and fine tune ur gearing and that should be fine.bigger motors mean bigger headaches...

The 70cc in the Bajas at Dunetoberfest were just uncontrollable. Even in the bowls, you couldn't drive them at full throttle. At some point, aroudn 50cc, there is just too much power for a 5th scale.

Agreed.

The Bajas are wheelie machines to begin with. Full throttle throws them over real quick. Lots of great vids on YouTube. A blast to watch!
