Steelies Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 discussion viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16693 scooters are all the rage, so we threw a little something together at pinkys for a larf, speed trials on otaki beach proved successful but she needs work/changes. took a bit of a hit during a limp-home excersize hence missing chains etc. top speed (down wind) seemed around 40kph, poo but fast enough when youre on it ingredients: - 2x 22cc 2-stroke rock-core drill motors, one with 33cc carb cos thats what i had - free - 1x healing super sprint bike from tip shop - $5 - 1x 'sheidter' kids 12" bike, also tip shop stock - $5 - 1x set of alloy 12" mags from a 'Le Bike' - free - 1x shitloads of other stuff perked from work or given/lent by mates - free - 2x 10t chain sprockets, just about the only thing bought specifically for the project - $13ea - cable splitter for throttle control, centrifugal clutches already on the motors, rags to stop carbs eating sand bla bla at the mo its missing primary drive chain and the foot pegs. test chain on the rest are today at work, post test/breakage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 grunta and i took this round a velodrome yesterday, was brilliant at full noise. took a lot of fucking with and was a bitch to start the whole time. both my arms are stuffed form pull starting haha had a few laps though, Joe and cam too. feels like about 40something kph.. speedo next. Jo had his boyscout chopper but rear wheel failure hampered any record breaking. next week it is so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 race day yesterday, was fantastic. tweaks since last run: - brace to stop motors creeping together - thermal spacers for carbs - airboxes for still air - higher primary drive gearing had a wicked time at the velodrome last night, only just beat danny on his villiers 84cc boardtrack racer due to his low gearing and my 3 speeds... but hah thats a victory in my book, 44cc in ya face! will need serious luck to keep up on next race day in a fortnight. will need added facial scrunching and hunched riding position i think. astounding breakneck speeds, estimated around the mid 50 kph range! only casualties were me for not wearing earplugs and a fucked pull starter. need to convert to wind-on rope spec. grunta had his machine in attendance but technical difficulties led to no racing for him. roll on race day!

Steelies Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 had a good race day last week, shat on by lukes 160cc of course, given a few more laps would have been passed by joeflangegoat on his villiers machine of slow speed building insanity, but luckily had a bit more go than Sam on his 50cc couch, see pic. motors seem to be fading earlier and earlier each race day, about 5 laps and theyre feelin hella tired. wish i knew more about two-smokes.
