I have a cw140 here and I'm noticing that it hisses too much on kickstart, and also pops and bangs on...

They'd obviously be less prone blowing up and wouldn't need rebuilds as often unlike the 2 strokes. I think it's a way of making it cheaper

Very true, I'm looking forward to see if anyone goes for it and makes a road legal one...

apparantly to colonel (sorry if spelt wrong) they carnt as in the lcrrc it says it must bee converted from off road type into sm, so the mini gp, wouldnt comply with the rules, but im sure with othet companies bringing them out, they might be able to have there own class if they get popular

Re: Stomp Mini GP bikes
There really good idea someone already brought one out a few years ago i saw it at the Milian show. Only thing i can see if it races with the pitbikes its going to get arse raped. 1. pitbikes corner so much faster round the smaller tracks 2. the metrakits/contis could keep up with the power of the two stroke engines now its exacly the same engine.

Re: Stomp Mini GP bikes
tbh you could allways make some fiberglass sets of the plastics and keep on thats the model so when you drop it or brake it you can just mold some more

i doubt many people would have access to the tools necessary for that though really, and to have it done professionally would probably cost more than just buying a new set
