no pics right now, just a short update on how the team did in l.a.Fuckers first! Round got first place in the openopenopen and third in the variated open. I got first place in the non variated open! the 50cc moby bike was the fastest thing on the track all weekend long, until the cdi box burned out late saturday night. so no racing for elliot on sunday. we did make a great discovery though. mvt sucks! they don’t auto retard. they fire at top and bottom and at high rpm they restrict themselves. we test three different bikes all with mvt and they all had the same problems. erratic spark placement and firing twice per stroke. time for hpi mr. motobecane!

sometimes you have to risk everything just to say you tried. I give you 50cc of pure power.
we thought it best to build multiple engines for our bike. seeing as we have the means to do so. So we went ahead and built potentially the fastest moby engine conceivable with the parts available. we now have a bike that takes mob, peugeot or variated puch engines. it also takes moby or peugeot pipes too. here’s the setup:
- Polini cases(to be upgraded to mykitech if the engine seems raceable.
-Malossi G2 50cc cylinder. water cooler. perfect.
-v-force reeds
-variotop
-mvt premium cdi
-super crank
-mikuni 24 (will be upped to 30mm oko with mykitech cases.)
This engine could very well suck. which is why we havn’t scrapped the a-5 just yet. It will be a tuning nightmare for sure. But the one thing i’m certain of, is that it has more potential then any other moped cylinder available. higher rpm’s. more hp. lower running temps. so perfect. having a clutch that dosn’t grab until 8000 helps too.
some transfer porting. this shape may change after testing.
it will be running by tuesday. hopefully it’s a self tuner.
In pooch news, on my way to the warehouse yesturday, my left clip on snapped at the weld. nothing bad happened, but it was deffinettly scary. i have since upgraded to some sweet lowrise bars. i love blasting while sitting comfortably.
I started trying to fix up the ketchup and mustard moby the other day for fun. while i had the top end off i snapped some pics. here’s a bidalot G1 cylinder. pretty tech.
i will probably not be able to post until after next weekend. i’ll be sure to take lots of pictures and video’s though. see you in L.A.
