WHAT SHOULD I PUT MY 49cc MOTOR IN

[redcv6]

hello ladies and gents. i have recently been given a brand new 49cc 2 stroke motor and am wanting to start a project with it. it was in one of those pocket bikes, but after about 50 seconds use......................... well lets just say the pocket bike could not be recognized anymore lol. so i was thinking either a scooter. or making up some kind of clutch for it and putting it in a remote control car or boat. the reason i have to make up a clutch if i put it in the remote control car is because otherwise i have no way of stopping it as it is direct drive. wat do you guys reckon. any suggestions welcome.

A mate of mine put one into a remote control car back when i was in school, he never quite finished it, but it did work, the just hadnt fully worked out the steering or somthing, but it was really good, and was damn quick!!!
A scooter would be pretty cool too, if you would use it.
Dunno what else you could put it in, pretty gutless motor...

[redcv6]

wouldn't it just have used the same steering it previously had? lol i wouldnt go as far as saying its a gutless motor, when you see a 90kg person sitting on the back of a 10kg bike, flying past you at about 40km/h your kind of impressed lol. and it is to be transfered into something that weighs like 1-2kg. i could see it going ok lol. cheers for the help

[Wagon_Wheel]

Yeah, but i meant, the motor is good for tiny things like that, any thing else and its not very good.
And the motor my mate used was not off a pocket bike, and even if it was how could you use the steering off the pocket bike for a remote control 4 wheel car?
That makes no sense....

[dufus]

A remote control car or boat would be good, but a scooter would be cool to.

[AttaBoy]

Do you know anyone who is on a wheel chair?? That will help them out.

Build a trailer, hook it up it a bike and put the engine in it, make it drive the wheels.... bit of fun.

build a motorized mountain board !!!!



... then sell it to me

[azzfox]

no clutch? direct drive? the 49cc cag motor in my pocket bike has a bell housing and centrifugal clutch bolted to the side of it. its stock so fairly low stall but does the job actually havnt ridden it for a while because it literally falls apart (crappy welds) and havnt got a welder on hand to much around with it. in other words.. BEWARE OF $200 POCKET BIKES ON EBAY

[redcv6]

cheers boys. wagon wheel, i meant use the steering that was already on the remote control car. VN_luke i have no idea wat a mountain board is. matty88 i like your idea but really dont wanna go chasing a trailer everytime it comes off the back of the bike lol. attaboy dont actually no anyone in a wheelchair, and gotta say i wouldnt want anyone in a wheelchair that i designed lol. azzfox the pocket bike i have doesnt have a clutch i dont think, i better go look at it now that you say yours does. cheers guys. i was thinking even about a plane, but sounds expensive lol

you need a handheld throttle control of some sort... steering isn't really required..... maybe somewhere to hook your feet in as the weight of the motor might be a bit much then you could board up steep hills and get MASSIVE m.x. spec air on a skateboard thing

yeh i was going to say helicopter or plane but F*** me it would take a lot of time. imagine how perfect everything would have to be to get a copter to stay level. sounds like a nightmare. i say start working the motor a bit and weld up a frame of your own. c how it goes u no

[redcv6]

yeah mate, talk about a headache, i guess i could always get a cheap electric one and change it over, but still looking at alot of money for something that will probably be destroyed after the second time i use it. (im a bit rough with my toys lol)

[dufus]

LOL I killed a RC Helicopter in 3 days. It caught fire after I crashed it into a tree.

[bradcad]

There would be a formluae somewhere to figure the stabilizer speed VS lift rotor speed. Hobby shops should be able to help here. Probably have all the gearing to make it an easier job....

[nicko]

this is mine $200 going strong just need to put some locktite on all bolts and its fine,

azzfox the pocket bike i have doesnt have a clutch i dont think, i better go look at it now that you say yours does.

well you know if its direct drive if you have to push start it and cant stop without it stalling a centrifugal clutch will allow a stall and engauge as you give it some throttle.

you can get those little motors pretty quick! I dont know what their like stock because before I even started it for the first time I pulled the motor apart and modified it Currently has an advanced timing key, triple stage reeds, little pod filter, sanded piston head, smaller rear sprocket and a 1/4 turn throttle. plus the broken top engine mount, cracked exhaust header and broken rear exhaust mount from all the excessive vibration!

[azzfox]

btw, heres mine.

[dufus]

I want one of these pocket bikes now, but if I get one I wont have anywhere to keep in a couple of months. Ill probably stack it real bad by then and it wont be worth keeping anyway so theres nothing to worry bout

[azzfox]

if you want one, spend a bit more and get a propper one. I fix mine more than I ride it whenever I ride I carry tools in my pockets.

But they are fun for racing local traffic and get alot of funny faces

[nicko]

yeh i was going to buy a thumpsta 110cc liquid cooled but then i thought i may as well jst buy a YZ450 lol. but the pocket bike is good fun jst dont expect reliability

[Sabby]

how about you put the 49cc in a esky
then ur beers can follow you everywhere

[VLDavo]

it wouldnt work in a chopper unless u had like a 6 foot wingspan as the engine has to really rev hard...

and to put in it a r/c car youd have to be looking at 1/5th scale or bigger to get it all fitting properly

[vlv8vic]

Yeah, but i meant, the motor is good for tiny things like that, any thing else and its not very good.

Put it in your pants.

[redcv6]

sabby i dont need to get my beer to follow me everywhere i go, coz i can just ring mum and ask her to bring it to me.

vldavo, yeah the chopper looks like hard work so i think i would give it a miss. and i was looking at what sized r/c car and your right to properly fit it in, its going to have to be a decent size.
