RC Cars Cox 0.49 (Cox Stocker Kyosho f1,beetle) Killer Bee Backplate New Video!

I am still unable to load pictures into the topic, but in my gallery are some photos showing the engine in parts after cleaning.

I also made a picture of the original backplate (which is damaged), hopefully somebody knows from which model?
I have run this engine (a long time ago) with another backplate, which is still at cleaning.

After some problems with the f*****g free-wheel clutch the engine is running now !

I like to thank all members who participate in this topic (special thanks to John Goddard and GermanBeez who gave me at least a tip how to get the right fuel here in germany)

The engine sound is really awesome. At low revs very quit but at high rev it yells like a bee on speed.

I eagerly anticipate to put the r/c into the frame. I have to do some adjustment at the idling speed of the engine

Edith says: The Engine has disgorged the backplate screen at highest rpm, so I have to attach a new one

Here are some pics, you can see more in my gallery. I am now able to put pics in topics





This pictures were taken a while ago. The engine is running well now, fortunately I found a spare backplate screen which fits better. Now I am looking forward to put my r/c in it. Maybe I will post a little video next week if it is interresting for someone.

At the moment I just want to test it out and have some fun. But I'm already thinking about a little tune up, maybe someone has some ideas.

Recently I located a blower wheel for this engine. So cooling won`t be a problem (originaly there was no fan installed).

Here is a little video (not mine but it is exactly the same model):



You might not believe, but the performance of this little engine in a rc car is really great.

I still have problems with the backplate, as I written originaly a one-piece plastic backplate was installed (which was not reliable and broke after the second run).
Now I have mounted another one (also black plastic, but seperated piece for the reed), which is also broken due to the high vibrations.

The car in the video has fitted a modified grey one from the sure start models. I will receive a white backplate purchased from ebay soon (I bought a complete engine 5$, not knowing which model for parts). Does anybody has an idea, which backplate is more reliable?

Today I tried the first run with r/c .

Well, I can tell you that it is running faster as I can run Something must be wrong with the receiver, so it was out of control and was running in circles like a cox tether car Fortunately nobody was injured.

Moreover it begans to run leaner as I tried to catch it

From now on I will double check the range of my r/c control

little update:

-the engine is still running

Furthermore I bought a new 2.4GHZ (no cost or effort is too great for my cox)
No, it wasn't too expensive. I can tell you that it takes allways a long time before running because I have to adjust many things (gas/brake, idle speed, needle as you know).

But I did not regret any cent I spend on this little model, it makes so much fun .

Sadly, no other cylinder fits on the engine due to the cylinder diametre. I have to find a solution in case of cylinder worn-out.

I hope it is ok, that i modified the topic title. I would like to make a collection topic of Kyosho models using the cox 0.49 engine. So postings with pictures from users who own a kyosho model with cox engine/or other cox powered rc cars like the cox nissan gtp/indycar or conversions are warm welcome.

I still have the hope that somebody is interested in this little 0.49 cox powered rc cars. A few posts before I mentioned another Kyosho Model, the Mini Cooper which is also cox powered (I still persuade my buddy who owned one to sell it to me ).

I found a link on the internet of the mini cooper:

I know that most of you using the cox engine in a plane. But maybe somebody is interested.

Xlnt

I just found out that another Kyosho Model powered by cox was available, the vw beetle (it was available in 1/12 scale using the same chassis as the mini cooper which is 1/10 scale).

Here is a short list (to be continued... hopefully )

Kyosho rc-cars using cox engine:

Formula 1 chassis
Kyosho Espo Larousse F1 1990
Kyosho Ferarri F1 1989
-another couple of electric powered cars (porsche C-class, penzoil indycar) using the same chassis were available, maybe they can be converted to gas engine-

modified Kyosho Alta Chassis:
Kyosho Mini Cooper
Kyosho Beetle

Cox rc cars (in-house production)
nissan gtp
indycar
stocker

Do not be confused, I think in the 70'ies cox has purchased Kyosho models under the cox brand in US, but the rc cars mentioned here are Kyosho models powered by cox of the early 90'ies.

If someboy has pictures of these cars (especially cox) feel free to post them.

Nobody interested ?

Good News! I just called up my buddy regarding the cox mini cooper. He says that it should be in the attic of his parents.
He will look for it and if he will find it, I can buy it for small money he said. Please keep your fingers crossed

Another question: my cox is after every run very raunchy. But I have a idea, I would like to seal it with Dirko HT, do you think that it is a good idea? This gasket material is working on my vespa very well.

Today, i had a fine afterwork ride with the kyosho. It brings allot of fun with. I learned how to drift and powerslide

In the meantime the collection is growing. I will receive a cox stocker in a few weeks. I hope, that i will get it to run, looks like a ,,challenge,, with all the hoses. But it weeks to be complete and comes with some accessoires.

News from today :

Regarding the staining of castor oil, i have tried to seal the engine with dirko ht.

Here are some pics of my cox-kyosho before cleaning and dissassembling:






As you can see it is very manky, and the car is getting dirt like a hoover. After 3 runs of fuel the tires are so glued with castor that you can't drive a bend without drifting. Funny, because I was so proud to learn drifting

I have also built in a ,,new'' white coloured backplate without cracks, which seems be a more resistant than the original black blackplate. It was a ,,fight'' to get the engine running smooth again, but now everything is working fine.

Due to this modifications the engine sounds ,,muted''. You can't distinguish it from an electric car when it is coming onwards (but from rear and on full speed it sounds very buzzy )

I hope you enjoy this topic and like to ask if there are any other cox drivers out there???

In the next weeks I will try to get the stocker running and I need your help, please

Wow that is cool. But my budget is bailed out at the moment.

I just bought this one Cox stocker

It is on its way to europe

Very nice

Today I received a NOS 1 FIN Cylinderhead for spare.

Sadly, I have to go to the customs office regarding the cox stocker, the seller has forgotten to put an invoice outside the box.
But I will receive it next monday . I hope the custom fees are not to high.

I will feed this tread with pictures next week.

I am feeling like a small boy and cannot wait until monday
