sheerider11 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks for that. Do you have any other recommendations, ie, paddle tires, straight paddle vs v-paddle? I have sand stars. Like said, the front steers like it's on rails. The rear tires slide a lot. The motor out powers them tho. I want to get brats. They are sweet Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote
J-Madd Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I wouldn't bother with straight cut gears unless you just want to. Not much bang for the buck so to speak. Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Posted April 16, 2016 How do you feel about sliding with straight paddles vs v-paddles. I heard straight paddles will allow the bike to snap slide right out from under you when crawling sideways on a dune or slide angles get too big? Thoughts? Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Posted April 16, 2016 I wouldn't bother with straight cut gears unless you just want to. Not much bang for the buck so to speak.Oh yeah?I thought at 80+ whp levels it was more of a reliability thing vs desire. Thoughts? I have asked Cameron if they're necessary on this build in a PM. I'm waiting to hear back. Quote
J-Madd Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Many have ran 100hp motors a long time with helical gears. If your builder recommends it though do what he says. The worse thing to do is follow various opinions (even if good advice) and Internet banter to put a build together. Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Posted April 16, 2016 Agreed, thanks for your input!! Quote

I did start using them with the 10 servo tho Trail Bikes, FTW Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Posted April 16, 2016 Cool, this is sounding like a decent savings. Quote
pp13bnos Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 When he did my old 7mill that made 90+hp, he told me that I should think about doing straight cuts. I decided to, just for piece of mind. My older brother who runs a 4mill cub still has factory helical after 4 seasons. You would probably be fine, but Cam won't point you in the wrong direction or try to sell you stuff you don't need.

You would probably be fine.Thanks for the heads up!!I don't want to spend the money on straight cuts if I don't have to run them. If your brother has a 4mil Cub running helicals for 4 seasons then I'll be fine with a puny 4 mil mx/dune port Serval... Cam won't point you in the wrong direction or try to sell you stuff you don't need. One of many reasons why Cam is building my motor. I did call another shop, they didn't answer. Cam told me some very interesting tid bits of info that surprised the heck out of me. Needless to say up for sale will be the following: | Chariot Billet non-Crossover Intakes | | Chariot Billet Reed Cages w/Boyesen Stage 2 Reeds | | Toomey T5's | I'll be taking pics of all of this in the coming days... 1 Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 Stock carbs sold today, so the stock carb dyno session is not happening... Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 This is for sale. Pics going up tonight. | Chariot Billet non-Crossover Intakes | | Chariot Billet Reed Cages w/Boyesen Stage 2 Reeds | Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Stock carbs sold today, so the stock carb dyno session is not happening...I'm sure he has a set of stock carbs lying around or someone who can let him use them on the dyno. Otherwise ifs gonna be just another serval graph that we have seen before 1 Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 From what I've read stk carbs have great torque, but lack in power throughout. Going to 35's didn't lose any power down low and gained throughout. I need money to fund this fiasco... Quote
