Thanks, handle well.✌️

This Australia language 😏

I posted a short video with the crank seal pop out and clutch shoes gone. These motors like load only!!!.. So check the video out before you fire away. Have a good day

@@robertblunden7160 your clutch is bogging…what gears are you running and what size tyres

@mun33y if you watch last week, this was wheel standing with ease while it had a clutch. This week, it was the same tune, but the clutch was gone. Rovan 71cc does not work with 8000 rpm. They work their best with 6000 rpm clutch spring . 50/24 gear ratio with 7 inch rear tyre, which gives you a ratio of 48/26 overall. I need more surface area on the clutch shoes, and that's where I need a 62mm clutch set up . So if you imagine a Taylor 71cc motor running 54mm clutch. It will kill it. The Rovan 71cc has more torque down below than a Taylor 71 at a lower rpm

That's the weak point on a Rovan 71. It's happened before. I have to make a retainer plate to stop that seal coming out.😆

She was strong in the handling department , but the clutch was f__ked from the start as these motors like load, and there was no load until the clutch locked up.

It was a handful to point it where I want it to go😊

You will like it. Just keep the weight down on the 5B for the best results 💪

One clutch spring was broken.

I do machining and fabricator and heavy mechanics for a living.

Getting there, ready to hit Mach 10🤗🙏😆

Looks good when clean, the downside is it's easy to get dirty, and that means more cleaning 😁

Only do that if you are having problems. Factory setting on a Wj 71 is like 30 psi. Now, if you are having problems, you set the pop off at 20 psi and bleed down to 12 psi on it, and it sits on 12 psi all day. I did that on my rovan 71cc Max and made a big difference.

@@robertblunden7160 awesome thank you so what do you mean bleed off as in set the pop off spring to 12psi? Or go down to 20 first and see how it runs then keep going down from there?

Cut one coil at one time and check the psi each time. What I said before it will pop off, say, about 20 psi, and you will see it will breed down and stop at about 12psi

✌️🤝

There is an up-to-date running video , but I need to put the wheelie bar back on as I can not keep the front wheels on the ground.

I could off it use it, but it was egg shape and about 1mm of the shoe gone.. once I sort it out and get the magic run. It be clean up put on the shelve as a deplay, as I go so much R&D work to do.

@@robertblunden7160 I would’ve replaced the springs and kept going👍🏼🤙🏼 the reason the clutch looked egg shaped is because it wasn’t fully extended against the clutch bell. You’re gonna make your hobby a lot more expensive than it needs to be .

Thanks Bud.

For sure, it needed a wheelie bar. When I was into boats, I had a tug boat to bring it back

I am happy with the results moving forward. Once I put that wheelie bar on and lean the tune more, it will be guicker. I have to put flm forever drive cups on as I break the dog bones drive pins.. I do have stronger dog bones I made, and I can run the Taylor IRC cups

There is a video explaining the run I did before this video

Starting piss me off with that rich tune. It's not easy to get at the mixture screws . I just need to check everything before leaning the H mixture. It sounds like a two-step before it gets on pipe. That pipe is louder than my rovan 71 pipe. I will get there but it's painful 😆

@@robertblunden7160 can definitely relate to the mixture screws !

Will find out today, as I am ripping it today. The very first video I made 2 years ago, when very well with a different size header pipe. I will be using that same pipe soon.. The videos that I am doing show what to do and not to do .There is a lot R&D work to do on this engine to get it run right. I was going to make a billet reed case for this engine , but the problem is the head cylinder has to be sorted out, and the pipe . SRE tried it by bolting a reed block to the case but must of failed . There is alot video's coming of this motor as I do more R&D work sorting it out.

What is that pipe called I want one for a 71 cc rovan engine

I had the kraken for a while now. And I know it will fit the Taylor 71cc. As I have a problem with team chase cage where the header pipe seats next to the cage .

👍🙏thanks

Will be ripping today🤗

😁😁😁👍

👍👍👍👍

Both Taylor 71 & Rovan 71cc barping tomorrow.

It was, and when I got in tune, the clutch spring let go that can see in the video. 👍

Yep

Be lucky to be 40 minutes, as I only ly get 5 to 8 minutes run time on a tank of fuel

@@robertblunden7160 Makes me re-think getting a 71cc. Thanks for the info

I wouldn't say don't buy one. See, the gear ratio I'm running is a 28 teeth pinion and 7inch tyres, which bring another two teeth higher on the pinion, and it is know 30 on the pinion. Taylor says to run 27 teeth on normal height tyres

Time was not on my side that day , as I tried to fit up a gearset that was too tight .( 26 pinion which i will have to lap in), so I had to put 28 pinion on.. I work out why the bolt loseing on the gear plate, which was due to heat from the clutch . The clutch shoes were egg-shaped.

Keep you busy

Yes! They are a blast, imagine 3 of these racing on that field! Fearless rc has these on sale with radio, shipped for $430 with a 30cc engine. My friends 29cc baja runs right with my 36cc, they ALL are fast!

@@glenhenning9261 we have them on the list, we are UK based but they retail here for about the same but in gbp so slightly more I guess. The problem is finding somewhere to run them without pissing someone off which in this day and age seems hard, it is bad enough finding somewhere to run our Nitro buggies. I watched your video giving the Taylor 71cc baja a blast (an absolute work of art BTW) and was left slightly underwhelmed at its performance, did it have tuning issues?

Hi Matie, I did up load a video before testing on the field. What the problem was, which the clutch shit itself. I adjusted the tune and the clutch spring break as you see in the video .I thought I leaned too much, but it was the spring break. Big bores like load and the clutch shoes had too much wear before I run it . It runs 28 mm carb, and the high needle was set 1 1/2 turns out and needed to be 1 1/8 out. Watch the video before this one and explain why. These are rocket ships when running right. Yes, all ways a problem is finding a place to run the cars.

Stops mosquitoes or flies, and the neighbours in the area can not see where the noise is coming from. The clutch was the problem and tad to much oil

@@robertblunden7160 Well on the plus side i've never seen an engine blow up from too much oil

very very true my friend 😋👍🙃

We had 7 weeks of rain here, still mudy.😢

?

This time of year, it starts getting dark 5.00pm here, which was about that time.

Wait what 😂

All good 👍

I used to do that, but where I am leaving two baja on the truck, would go missing.To much money leaving items untended.

@robertblunden7160 For sure, I'm right by mine , never too far away from them

I be lucky to have 1 hour of run time all up.

1 metre in length, 21 kilo in weight.

Hopefully, it's a good rip, plus the rovan 71cc Max T will be ripping today

Is has a strong motor with good brand gear running gear to handle the power.👍

I love my billet parts, so I needed an engine to pull the weight. I got the wheelie bar set at the right height, and still wheel stands but not as height. I can run full throttle with the way set up now. I been running the rovan 71 same day, so don't miss out on that video 😮
