G'day everyone from Downunder!
I need to pick your collective brains.... I am a newbie to this site.
I have made (slightly off topic) a radio controlled drag car with a chainsaw engine as the powerplant.
It's a poulan 2500... I think it's around 44cc from measurements.
I had a good mate make me a pipe to basically double the high end RPM, so , it's what we might call a "grenade" engine
This engine will probably blow up during a pass, so I need to know what a good replacement might be.
Basically, Im looking for an engine that is:
1. Lightweight
2. PUNCHY!!!!
3. doesn't cost the earth
4. Has good useable torque right through the rev range
have a look

any thoughts??
The car weighs aroung 12kgs. at the moment, and I reckon I might have up to 5HP so far....I'm always looking for more ponies!!
thanks in advance,
Dazza
