3D scanner

Image
The system is a 3D scanner. If there was the system,we can get blue print of engines. It can find changing of specific. And we can measurement exhaust timing. It can measure flatness and roughness. Roughness is important for sleeve surface. Roughness keep oil for lubrication. To keep quality of industrial product needs scanner. Each system cost 70000 dollars over. These systems made by Keyence in Osaka Japan. Keyence is famous of high salary in Japan. Japanese technology depends on Keyence.

Find shop

I found the shop to get max engine. I’ve wanted to get engine by Massimo Fantini. It’s 5 ports long stroke engine. I am surprised the list. Max has tuning service. But services are not explained specific. I want to try tuning menu. I’ll try to get more information.

What engine is best?

Image
We don’t know what engine is the best. Each person has each best. But I have point of view to find the best. There are many manufacturers of RC engine industry. Nova,Picco,OS are big three. Almost other brands is based on big 3 manufacturers. There were GRP,Sirio.Technopower few years ago. Probably base engine ability is not so different among big 3. But there are some gurus in the industry. They can make engine to increase abilities. Now everybody knows Mario Rossi who is founders REDS engine. Reds is based on Picco. I used Reds. It has nice pickup. And Rody Roem is founders of RB Techno power and now VS racing. He made big innovation of turbo plug. Chamber o ring and etc. VS racing is based on OS. I used TP engine. It’s a best engine on my carries. Massimo Fantini is Max engine Tesla engine founder. Off road people don’t know him well. Probably the picture is him. Nitro on road people know him well. His engine is made ...

Center drive shaft

Image
EVO cahanges center drive system. I’ve ordered aluminum shafts. Probably pin is made by steel. It’s lighter than CVD. Fast rotation parts must be lighter. Center drive shaft rotate faster than wheel driveshaft. Totally are diff cup and shaft lighter than CVD or universal joint? Is the diff cup lighter than CVD cup? If so the modification is good. Simple dog bones joint has durability. Almost straight joint ,there is no difference any type joint.

How can remove burr?

Image
For burr of engine block or sleeve it is enough 30000rpm pen drill. It’s 150 dollars. It includes foot pedal. This is a diamond bit. Almost burrs are removed by little bit. But for pin boss or bearing housing scratches, it is operated by ultrasonic dril. But it’s very expensive. It’s 2300 dollars. It’s Gucci bag for my wife birthday present. It cost as same as ultrasonic drills.

Pipe selection

Image
Nowadays almost buggy engine manufacturers recommend short manifold. Probably it comes from space matters. There is no space between exhauste port to body end. It has not large effect for engine character. But pipe has large effect for character. This is structure of pipe.  It has two pieces. Pipe has two length. TL concerns with RPM. TL is only pipe. L include manifold length. Short TL make high RPM. But L is decided from exhaust timing. Exhaust timing is from mouth of crankshaft design. Generally Long L has pick up. We should use manufacture recommended pipe and manifold. Because we don’t know exhaust timing.

How can find burr?

At first how can find burr? There are many burrs on RC engine. Crankcase,crankshaft,sleeve,piston. For example this picture is taken by iPhonX x2 mode. We can’t find any burr. Accuracy is defined by product purposes. Aircraft engines require more preciousness than car engine. Miniature RC engines require more preciousness than car engine. RC engines don’t have piston ring. Then Primary component requires high accuracy. Now digital microscope is sold under 60 dollars. It can be watch x 600. If you have child you should buy it for science learning. It can connect PC or monitor. It’s a pro use microscope. It’s 350 dollars. This monitor has 3 million resolutions. Now we can find burr with microscope for low cost. Next I will report how can remove burr.
