MOPED ARMY

These bolt up to Garelli horizontal motors without machining, the taper matches exactly...... Just have to washer the plate out so they line up.

We get the setup in Europe for £30......

I ran one for a while on my race puch. It has zero mass so the idle has to be kinda high or else it will fall too low if you don’t keep blipping it on deceleration. Brutal throttle response, it was a clutch killer for sure. I was surprised at how good the quality was for how cheap it is, the rotor eventually split but I think it was my fault for spinning it over with a drill too much. I guess I could cut the taper into the spare rotor I have, but I upgraded to a pvl and it’s 1,000,000 times better. I think I fried one stator, but idk it could have been the box. Since it was so cheap to buy a whole unit I just replaced the box and stator. Maybe one day I’ll put it on something again. (edited)

Wonder how a tapered end mill would do cutting that rotor.

Man I think it's 5.5 degrees and I haven't found a matching end mill for years. Cool story, I have used a fairly local shop to do cylinder boring for me. They charge 75$ for overbore which is fair. They also charge $600 for taper boring on a moped flywheel. Needless to say I ruined the relationship with the shop over an HPI flywheel that I wouldn't pay for. They quoted me after leaving the flywheel and spare E50 crank behind. It fucking sucks Maybe they didn't want to see me anymore but I think paying someone 6 bills to cut a new taper is ridiculous. Or it's just a thing here in LA county.

Note: V1 taper, OEM Morini inner rotor

Yes, whatever I was trying to find I can’t. When I said I think it’s 5.5 I wasn’t kidding. Maybe some other dimension has alluded me all this time. If you have a definite taper in degrees for e50, minarelli, jog, Peugeot and all the rest go ahead and share. I love you

I’d just buy an hpi and call it done and you have lights

Previously I just cut the ones I have done on lathe with the compound, it's pretty easy. With the endmill I was just thinking of doing a small batch on a manual lathe, something that could be done single pass and quickly.

i’m thinking make a pocket for the flywheel in some soft jaws and run a lil bit of code in the prototrax mill for a circle and it should cut the taper really nice. easy to adjust the cut path too if the ID needs to be adjusted.

You should do a small run of them, I bet people would be interested.

You can get the ignition on aliexpress for 27$ Machine the taper then sell them for 60-70$. Which is close to the Amazon price.

Would that include the mounting plate to put in on which ever motor it is or no

Pair it with a parmakit cdi box and you are at $100. Now make a custom mounting plate. Now try to make a profit.

I bought 10 HPIs from HPI for $160 each.

Lmao ^ I guess you posted that while I was typing

No lights though. Your really limited on a customer base when it comes to that. Most of the racing community is going to end up making it themselves.

does it fire a parmakit box??

i’m gonna try one of the mbk cdi coils on a puch treats CDI stator plate and see if i can get it to fire a parmakit box.
