Slow, but steady!!! I fired up the motor out of the car the other night. I did some more measuring and it fits nicley in ther current space other than the width. That MKV KBS was narrow in the upper rear frame. So I'm going to cut the upper rear rails out and pop the motor in and see how it looks. Question for you Jay. That motor was design to be a stressed member of the motorcycle chassis, any downside of using the motor to tie the upper and lower rails together with the rear suspension bellcrank pivot point?

Guys, that Maxsym was a design that was going to replace the GP250 2 stroke bike motors. They also have several packages including a snomobile type drive, it's so limited, and stupid expensive. One source for parts, who knows about reliablility, can you say AMW??? If you're going to go that far, why the hell not put a 600cc bike motor on it? I bought an 05 CBR600rr complete with wiring harness for $1500. Out of the box it makes 110, to 120hp, and I can get parts at any of a thousand Honda dealers in the country... Chris R. Eric D Christensen wrote: Looks like a really interesting engine package. But talk about expensive... WOW! Let's see, for a potential replacement F500 engine (assuming we're looking for about 90HP here): Base engine # 4995 Engine Mgmt Sys # 875 Carbs # 525 Electric Start # 475 ------ & 6870 = $ 12,653 (ouch!) Want to shift? OK.. Add the 6 speed sequential transmission: @ # 1660 ($ 3057) and we're now up to $15,710. Never mind that 90HP with a transmission will leave you in the dust behind the CVTs. Of course, we could upgrade to the barrel throttle fuel injection kit to get a few more HP and maybe keep up with the CVT 2 stokes. That's another # 1350 ($ 2486), to bring the total engine package up to: (drum roll please....) $18,196. OUCH!!!! Remember this next time you feel like complaining about the cost of a new Rotax.... :-) ---------- Eric D Christensen Proadmin, Inc. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > quiz racer > Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 5:15 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [F500] Renault F-1 bench test crank it up. > > Has anyone heard about this motor? www.maxsym.com give it a look. > > Randy > > Steve Moore wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tom Weaver" > To: "Steve Moore" ; > Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 3:15 PM > Subject: Fw: (MARRS-RX7) Good video... > > > > Turn up the Speakers!!! > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Brooks Hunt" > > > To: > > Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 2:27 PM > > Subject: (MARRS-RX7) Good video... > > > > > > > > > > Hope you boys haven't seen this, the sound is amazing, > and look at > > > the amount of Sunoco 94 (wink) being burned... > > > > > > http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7393939630149644203&q=V8 > > > > > > > > > Brooks > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > > Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
