anybody know how to build these. they look so sweet and tehy cost next to nothing to build but cost as much as new engine to buy.

MYBLUZ

which engine did you have in mind? I saw build it as a full size chopper and put a TPI motor in it.

SERPENT99

doesn't someone make an industrial engine that's a V-twin?

MrDude_1

Briggs & Stratton, Honda, ect... all the small engine makes have some form of tiny Vtwin that could fit.


athough i think a 2 stroke motorcross engine would be more fun

horsepower to weight man... hehe....



heh, what i really want to do is take a YSR, stuff a 125 or even a 250 2 stroke motorcross motor and have at it....

for thoes that dont know, YSR is a street legal MOTORCYCLE (not moped).. and its about the size of the pocketbikes and minichoppers.. came out in the late 80s... pics:

SERPENT99

that would be fun, but it wouldn't sound right.

MrDude_1

i know... theres a guy with a pushman around where i used to live.... its a vtwin motor.. has that sound to it that you're looking for...


like i said, im looking at a more sportbike type things though, so sound isnt a issue...

i recall seeing a vtwin chainsaw motor when i worked at a small engine shop... its BIG for a chainsaw... but i bet it would fit in a minibike nicely, and if you took the muffler off, it would have a nice blat..

there cant be too many vtwin chainsaws, so i suppose you could do a search on google and come up with somthing.

ede

i see one at wal mart here in the summer a lot, 4.3 chevy on it with what i'm guessing is a th350 or th200 to a unknown rear

MrDude_1

mmk, for a sec i didnt know what you were talkin about lol.


yea, if you think a V6 chevy is cool... check out boss hosses.... theres a 350 SBC one.. and for the insane, a 502 big block bike.

very very cool... and they handle better then you would think.

jocww

its gonna be a small engine i dont want to go to fast 60 is prob pretty good dont want to kill myself on it

ede

i think if it were me i'd look for a 4 holer like a 2.5. not sure what sorts of trans you could bolt one up to.

jocww

wats a 4 holer

MikeS

Only 4 holer I ever had was a carb...

I thought about building the mini choppers. I found some websites for those who make them. You arent kidding, those are mad cash toys!! With the wagon karts, ride on bodied karts, and the bar stool racers, I don't know if I could run another line efficiently. I think the market for the "real" scale mini choppers right now is a little crowded.

jocww

can you hook me up with some plans jon

jocww

do you think 6.5 hp would be enough power

badandy247

four banger, four cylinder, you know that thing all the r1cer guys think is the best thing since sliced bread

lol just givin ya trouble man

jocww

they do think its the best thing since sliced bread

bnoon

No no no, they think it's the best thing since anti stick converted Uncle Ben's, LOL!

Speaking of mini choppers, did you see Paris Hilton and Nikki Stewart (I think that's who it was) wipe one of them out on the red carpet? I don't remember which one did it, but she gunned it and took off down the red carpet... It was one of the $5k plus nice onces too. HILARIOUS!!!

tyty49

that was funny she couldn't stop and just took off and kept going.

Right now I'm in the process of building a motorized bar stool. It's sweet.

I need to know if anyone makes a turbo small enough for a 5 hp briggs? I was going to supercharge it but, I would really like a turbo instead.

I got plans for a mini chopper from ebay, they are very good, right now it's getting to about 1/2 way. The motor is a 503cc Fan Cooled Rotax motor. Dual clutch setup, fast.

MrDude_1

lol, i dont know of one, but if you find one, let me know.

tyty49

People use smog pumps off of 350's & 454's, they are supposto put out around 7psi, some can generate as much as 60psi for a very short period of time, I'll do this I i can can't find a turbo.

MrDude_1

lol.. hmm.. i have the smog pump off the l03 just sitting in the garage... lmao.

tyty49

There ya go......

johnsjj2

Here are a couple pretty cool stools. The guy that makes the turbo one will sell the kit for $1400!! Jet powered would be pretty crazy too!

jocww

wanna scan and email me those plans there buddy

tyty49

don't have a scanner- they are like 8 1/2 by 15 or 16

johnsjj2

Plans! We don't need no stinking plans! THe only thing I have drawn up is how to make my jigs. As far as how to build them, I just built until I liked them, and kept duplicating it.

jocww

pictures i demand pictures

johnsjj2

I will try to find some.

tyty49

Burnout

tyty49

Close Up of Clutch Setup

tyty49

About 38hp

tyty49

I think that last one is kinda ugly. I got a lot more pictures. I also have a movie of one doing a burnout with a mini NOS kit. The same one doing 90mph on NOS and one pulling the front tire with a meare 8 horses.

SERPENT99

those links were cool, but I disagree about the potato gun, I have the most powerful potato gun. it shatters cinderblocks and can bust a 2x6

IHI

iTrader: (1)

We found out if you put a shot of pure oxygen into the vent hole of the big tube, you can literally shoot potatoes out of sight. Just dont go crazy. My last one was able to shoot spuds through my old shed sided with 3/4" car siding, and met it's demise when we were fooling around in the shop seeing how big we could go. That's where we learned too much oxy. is a bad thing, literally blew up in my hands. It blew the threaded in cap at the rear out first which took away most of the pressure and just cracked the main body instead of my body nice and loud though!!

jocww

the one i want to build will have long forks but im going to have trouble fabing a frame and a gas tank

Aqua FBody

As soon as I get my cam working I will submit a pic of the one I'm working on.

jocww

that would be sweet thanks

MrDude_1

ok, that pic convinced me.


for no reason what so ever, i think im going to make one.


only prob is, i like my choppers long, low and smooth... kind of a flat low dragster look..
i need to figure out how to get that look, and still fit on the bike.. lol.

johnsjj2

I think this is what your looking for. The wagons are almost exactly like what I build, but for half of what they want for one.

www.fullblownminis.com

jocww

those look real sweet
was trying to blow up the plans but couldnt

johnsjj2

Yeah they have a tight lid on their site. You can buy them off eBya though for about $30.

jocww

no thats ok ill do it with shishkabob sticks and use that as a model

jocww

sweet 350th post for the 2nd time.

i forgot to ask can i get a kit that has all of the stuff i need but i just have to build and piece it togther myself

johnsjj2

Full blown minis sells there choppers in kits. THey are still a little expensive though.

Ricktpi

My nephew builds them & gets around $2k apiece.

jocww

no way in hell im spending 2gs for a mini chopper

Ricktpi

That does not surprise me in the least. If you are frequenting the board you most likely can yourself or know someone that can do it cheaper. Point is there are a lot of people out there that can't/won't do it themselves & will pay.

jocww

would you copy it and then send it to me
or you could always fax me a copy that would be tyte to

Aqua FBody

As I promised here is the one I'm working on.
