With the 136cc MHR, Malossi brings a performance-optimized variant of the 136cc MKII the market.

The cylinder made of aluminum shows significant differences to the MKII.

Malossi 136 MHR in detail

 

  • Aluminum cylinder with coated raceway
  • Centered cylinder head with O-ring seal
  • new piston type with a piston ring
  • larger inlet
  • three-part outlet
  • changed overcurrent channels

Dared a clear step into the modern with the MHR Malossi. Thanks to the aluminum material now used and the hard chrome coating,

the cylinder can also withstand higher thermal demands. The entry area and the volume of the overflow channels as well as the inlet area have grown significantly.

Due to the larger overcurrent channels, the motor housing must be adapted from Malossi according to the enclosed instructions.

For the new, large inlet, Malossi also offers a new intake manifold.

The new shape of the nozzle is intended to avoid over-greasing in the idle area.

 

 

Copy of M3115829 (18)

In the intake area, the redesigned piston opens up the cross-section for the fresh gases very early on through cutouts in the piston skirt.

 

Copy of M3115829 (16)

As in a very early previous version of the 136 from the 1990s, the piston of the MHR is equipped with a piston ring.

The stable rectangular ring should be installed with the lettering in the direction of the piston roof.

Copy of M3115829 (15)

 

Due to the increased duct cross-sections, the anachronistic CVF system is no longer required in the MHR and the piston skirt is therefore more stable.

Complete with ring, bolt and circlips, the MHR piston weighs 181 grams. This makes it relatively light despite the rather massive struts on the inside

Copy of M3115829 (17)

The cylinder head is already known from the Malossi MKII.

With the MHR, too, a 1,75mm thick O-ring ensures a perfect seal to the combustion chamber and is very neatly centered over the cylinder bore via 4 points.

Copy of M3115829 (5)

 

 

 

Malossi specifies a geometric compression ratio of 12,5: 1 for the MHR.

The combustion chamber is offset 0,6mm from the cylinder head sealing surface.

Copy of M3115829 (3)

 

In addition to the canal cross-sections, Malossi has also done something on the control angles.

 

Copy of M3115829 (11)

 

With an assumed piston clearance of 1mm, the MHR offers a sporty steering angle with a stroke of 51mm with 124 ° to 179 °.

The resulting outlet of 27,5 ° and the larger area due to the secondary outlets also appeal to performance-oriented exhaust systems.

With an outlet diameter of 28mm and a stud bolt distance of 56mm, many common, sporty exhaust systems fit.

With the press presentation, Malossi advertises the new MHR for the Vespa, depending on the exhaust system, with an output of 18-25PS.

Combined with the Franz and a 28mm or 30mm carburettor, we can also imagine a performance level of around 20 hp.

We would be happy to put your Malossi MHR to the test with us to find out.

Scooter Trolley Magny Cours

10-hour Scootentole roller race in Magny Cours

10HMC14s

The 3rd endurance race of Association Scootentole and Retro Scooter Nivernais on the Long Club Track of Magny Cours, reached a new level with the 2014 edition:

  • 34 teams at the start,
  • About 130 drivers
  • 6 different nationalities.
 The principle is actually simple: start on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m., finish 10 hours later. The first under the finish flag wins. Finished! 

Great weather, great race track - this event was full of (good) expectations.

The qualifying on Saturday was a competition of the “official teams”, the 225SS Casa Lambretta reached the pole position before the “full Money ”Water-cooled Vespa. Directly behind - somewhat surprisingly - in front of the Quadra Corse MitoLambretta team (AF Rayspeed RB20 ) and the Dart Racing Team with Vespa PK 150 Polini Evo., the team Burzock LML with Vespa PX 215 Pinasco Engine.

10HMC14m

To the delight of the racing drivers and spectators, one began on Sunday hard fight: best lambrettas versus best Vespas.

On the side of the fast Lambrettas, the Casa Lambretta team had a broken crankshaft in the first hour, so MitoLambretta Rayspeed AF stayed at the forefront and the Lambretta-Authentik (RT195 MB Dev) team was able to hold 4th place until they got the Exhaust demolished. So it seemed like the Vespas would win this time!

IMG_1426

For the Vespa Pugenti Corsa Quattrini team it was a start-to-finish victory - and that on their first participation! The German team Dart Racing was able to fight for second place against the French team LML-Pinasco-Burzock (overall third and first Largeframe) push through. Followed by the Spanish Vespa PK Racing Rolando Quattrini, and the Italian team from MitoLambretta. Meanwhile in 5th place were the Vespa PK from SPRT (Quattrini), the PK from PRT-Korona (Falc), the PX Authentik (210 Malossi) and Old Scoot Racing (Parmakit 177), and the Pinasco VSP21. But due to falls or technical problems, they all fell into the back seat. The long distance and the hot weather were tough on the engines ;-)

This race is already a classic and like the years before the event went perfectly. The organizers want 45 teams at the start for next year - so see you next year!

Vespa Smallframe with 187kmh

A Vespa Smallframe from the 60s driving at almost 190km / h - is that possible?

Vespa Smallframe with 187kmh

 

In addition to the correspondingly powerful engine and a good load of courage and skill, the appropriate chassis is also part of it.

Tony o'brien is an experienced Vespa pilot and has the appropriate mum and power in the engine. That Scooter Center has also provided him with a powerful chassis.

At the weekend Tony is at an official Straightliners event with his Vespa SS90 187km/h drove. The bgm PRO SR R12 shock absorber put it away easily and brought him safely over the slopes.

Cylinder POLINI 133ccm Evolution membrane ESC version

Polini 133cc Evolution membrane

ESC2014

From 2014, a standardized package is permitted in class 1 of the ESC. The direct suction serves as the basis for this package Polini Evolution cylinder modified to the ESC version.

The one-size-fits-all solution with the Polini 133cc Evolution membrane In class 1 the ESC may only be operated unchanged and with the intended exhaust. After consulting Polini and Ludwig & Scherer, we were able to achieve a package price of currently € 625 for ESC drivers. Approval for the purchase of the kit must be obtained through the ESC respectively. You can find the current set of rules at www.eurochallenge.de

The basic idea of ​​the standard solution is that as a driver, as in class 5, in class 1 you can concentrate more on actually driving on the track than on the sometimes quite complex engine concepts.

With the “big one-size-fits-all” and the Polini 133ccm Evo, an output of approx. 25PS is possible. In close cooperation with the ESC, we have created this kit for you and run some tests on our P4 test bench.

Cylinder POLINI 133ccm Evolution membrane ESC version

That up 51mm stroke reworked cylinder kit You can of course also move normally on the street after the TüV blessing. Even if you do not take part in racing events in the ESC, we can prepare this kit for you. But then at the regular price, as the cylinders for ESC use are specially discounted by Polini.

ESC EHK K1 Ausp ALEX1-page-001

So that you can install the cylinder, you should pay attention to a few things in detail.

Crankshaft / crankcase

The cylinder kit has been revised for the use of a crankshaft with 51mm and 105mm connecting rods and supplemented with a matching spacer.

The following crankshafts fit this:

bgm Pro 51/105 ETS 24mm and bgm Pro 51/105, 20mm and of course all other crankshafts, which have a stroke of 51mm and a connecting rod length of 105mm.

A crankshaft with a standard connecting rod length of 97mm cannot be used.

To install the bgm crankshaft you have to prepare your crankcase.
In the “small engine half”, ie on the generator side, the diameter of the crankcase must be enlarged to 88mm.

In the large half of the housing, the drive side, it is usually sufficient to remove the rotary valve sealing surface.

Copy of 25.03/002/XNUMX

You must also pay attention to the clearance of the crank webs and the connecting rod above the rotary valve sealing surface.

Copy of 25.03/003/XNUMX

When building the engine, we recommend that you store the crankshaft Ball bearings with increased internal clearance and FPM shaft seals to use. These can still work trouble-free and permanently even at higher speeds.

25.03 030

Cylinders / overflow channels / cylinder base

Every now and then it can happen that the coating on the cylinder base creates a few burrs. It is therefore advisable to deburr the edges before assembly.

K1 EHK 003

In order to accommodate the large overflow channels, the Polini cylinder is significantly larger in the area of ​​the channels than, for example, a gray cast iron cylinder. Therefore you have to edit your stator housing.

25.03 018

It is not absolutely necessary to plan the motor housing by machine. The part of the stator housing can also be easily removed with a saw.

25.03 021

Since there is no need to seal the surface, you can simply align the surfaces with a file.

25.03 025

You do not necessarily have to adjust the overcurrent channels in the motor housing. According to the rules of the ESC, however, this is permissible. We could not determine a performance or speed advantage through adapted overcurrent channels in the housing on the test bench. The overflow system clearly lives from the direct ventilation from the direction of the membrane.

Intake manifold / membrane / spacer

Due to the fact that the cylinder is ventilated directly, the housing inlet must be closed.

This can be done on the one hand by filling the intake tract with so-called. Cold metal happen or through a Locking plate , the latter is available for 2-hole and 3-hole motors

When using cold metal, the inlet channel can only be reused with increased effort. With the locking plate, you have the option to use a housing-sucked cylinder at any time.

We used a locking plate on our engine.

After the assembly you have to adapt the locking plate to the cylinder.

ESC K1 EHK 004

Optionally, you can also edit the spacer to create the necessary space for the closure plate.

05.03.2014 005

The intake manifold of the Polini cylinder is designed for good flow and thus for good performance. However, the shape of the suction means that space must be created accordingly on the frame. Depending on the model used, V50 or PK, more or less large modifications are necessary here.

If you do not want to change your (racing) frame appropriately, you may optionally also use one according to the rules Intake manifold from MRP use. Due to the other course, the intake manifold fits into your scooter without major changes.

7675515

The good fit is unfortunately due to the performance compared to the Polini intake manifold.

You may not process the Polini Memrban any further, for example by separating out the bars, etc.

As a replacement or optional you can Carbon plate material or use one-piece membrane plates in any material thickness. You are not allowed to use Boyesen membrane plates, a similar, multi-part principle or any other membrane in class 1.

CARBURETOR

We used a Mikuni TMX 30 and a Keihin PWK 28 on the test engine we assembled.

Since our test engine has already driven almost all ESC routes, we can also give you some tips on how to set it up correctly. Of course, these tips are only intended as a guide. You have to find out the exact setting yourself on your engine, but so that you don't have to start from scratch, we have briefly summarized the jets we use on the routes.

IGNITION

Here, with our test engine, we have the "Polini tronics ” resorted to. Somewhat more interesting than that in terms of acquisition and equipment Vespatronic. Meanwhile, Malossi offers another interpretation of the IDM based ignition system. A ZZP of 26 ° -18 ° turned out to be the basic setting on our test engine. This ignition setting offers the best compromise between early torque and good speed behavior after peak performance. On racetracks with significantly longer straight sections, such as the club course in Magny-Cours or the new course in Mirecourt, you should take the ignition back 1 ° -2 °. When it comes to ignition timing, you have to try out what works best on your engine and what suits you best in terms of character.

EXHAUST

The current ESC K1 exhaust is based on a prototype of the ALEX1, which works very well on class 1 cylinders with suction from the housing and enables performance well above the 25pS limit there.

New in 2014: New route in Mirecourt (F)

If you've ever traveled the route in Mirecourt you will have to change a little this year. The route in the entrance area was changed to the start-finish straight. Without the chicane in the entrance area, Mirecourt should now also be one of the fastest routes currently visited by the ESC. So that you can get an impression of the change, here is a small video ...

[youtube] nY3xO6rzv-c [/ youtube]

At 1:15 you can see the new section of the route. Mirecourt therefore presents a challenge to the drivers by pairing very slow and now also very long, fast sections of the route. In addition to the driving performance on the route, the Gradation of the gear a challenge. So here it is important to find the best compromise with 4 gears.

Further innovations in the regulations of the ESC 2014 Grades 1-5 and 7

It is allowed for the first time from 2014 Rain tires without street approval can be used. This means that all designated rain tires with a profile, for example from PMT be used. If the rumors are to be believed, Sava is also working on the further development of the MC20 Rain tires worked. The use of rain tires is approved by the ESC responsible for the respective race.

Class 1

So that the ESC circus in Class 1 is also interesting for the less experienced screwdriver, an engine concept based on Polini Evo Direkt is allowed as an alternative from 2014. The cylinders have been modified to match and are driven with a 51mm stroke and 105mm connecting rod and with a special exhaust. The "large one-size-fits-all" package is sold by the Scooter Center and may only be used as a package. With the package, a performance of approx. 25PS can be achieved.

You can find detailed information on this at www.eurochallenge.de

Class 5

so that you as a driver in class 5 on the new route in Mirecourt on the now very long start / finish line, for example, do not “starve”. The ESC committee preferred the use Primary gear ratio 3.oo and the 25z pinion from DRT released to extend the 3.00 primary to 2.88. So far the engine had to be converted to the permitted one Primary ratio of 2.86 be opened completely. With the now released DRT pinion, it is sufficient to dismantle the clutch cover and the clutch.

Vespa race Belleben sheet metal fight 2013

On the second weekend in August, the ESC congregation met again in the Motodrom Belleben to beat the engines around the course again after a long summer break.

Besides Sprint race are now finding them in their second year Endurance runs instead, in which it is even more so than in the sprint races Reliability and teamwork arrives. That Scooter Center sends the top favorites into the race with the two-time champions of the Zuera 24h hours and last year's ESC Endurance champions Mike Betz and Andreas Putz.

After a bit of bad luck when drawing the starting order, the GSF was able to Scooter Center Racing team take over the lead of the field after just three laps. Thanks to the well-engineered racing scooter, only the mandatory pit stops had to be completed, which at the end of the race rolled into one well deserved victory in front of the highly motivated Red Wine Racing Team.

From May 31.05st - 02.06.2013 the annual meeting of the Stoneheads took place again in Liedolsheim.

Usually the region is subject to the Liedolsheim go-kart track not the meteorological conditions. This meeting has always shone in the last few years with blazing sun and summer temperatures.

This year, however, it was literally “land under”. Continuous rainfall and heavy rain at night were on the program for the 11th Run and Race.

29.05.13 060

In the party tent, of course, the party continued until the early hours of the morning.

On Saturday, the actual day of the race, after a sobering look into the paddock, ...

29.05.13 050

At the driver briefing, the planned start of training was postponed due to the weather conditions. In the meantime, attempts have been made to drain the route with drainage holes that were excavated by specially provided excavators and to drain the fire brigade's submersible pumps.

29.05.13 054

An undertaking that was made difficult by the constant rain. In the end, around 11:00 the first brave ones were able to swim a lap on the track ...

Unfortunately, the joy only lasted for a short time - due to increasing rain, the route was closed again at 11:30.

Photo 2

While the water was a source of annoyance for the drivers on the route, it was a source of joy elsewhere….
29.05.13 061

The planned endurance race was canceled without replacement so that a reasonable schedule could still come about despite all the adverse circumstances and the race day could be carried out in accordance with the rules. After the rain stopped around 13 p.m., we were also able to put our P00 test bench into operation.

29.05.13 063

At least a little contrast program for all those who like angry engine sound and the smell of 2-stroke oil.

29.05.13 066

Then finally, around 15:00 p.m., after a short qualifying session for all drivers, all ESC classes were able to carry out 2 rated runs each.

And when the sun broke through the clouds for the first run of the K1, the racing world was all right again.

In addition, here are a few on-board impressions from Isa and Philipp:

And finally ...

Another successful one from the Stoneheads. Despite all the adversities, it was great fun!

Big Vespa race with ESC - season opening

FlyerCSMirecourt2013HDMirecourt, France, May 11, 2013 - ESC 2013 season opening and the 13. Challenge scooter tole writes history with 155 participants!

Most of the teams came on Thursday, while some Vespa teams took advantage of the organiser's good relations with the Mirecourt race track and arrived on Wednesday.

Thursday and Friday the track was free for training and test runs. Unfortunately, there was also a serious accident during training in which a driver broke his leg. Unfortunately, the season is over for him. We wish him a good recovery!

The weather was cold and there was light rain every now and then.

vespa-racing_mirecourt-04vespa-racing_mirecourt-02

On Saturday the Vespa races really got down to business:
Qualification runs in the morning and then the races after the lunch break. There were tough but very fair fights without serious accidents. The weather played along too, it only rained during the no-race lunch break.

With little surprise, the champions of the past years dominated the track and first places in K1 and K2. But the newcomers are pushing, such as the young Romain Baguet from the 70s Scooter team, he came third in K4 and first in class K5!
There were also 13 female participants with promising results. In general, the level of drivers and Vespa racing scooters increases from year to year. Also in 2013 there are great teams with beautiful scooters at the start. Scooters that also look like scooters, because cutdowns are kept to a minimum in the Challenge Scootentole.

vespa-racing_mirecourt-03vespa-racing_mirecourt-01

Particularly interesting at the Vespa races were, for example:
In the K2 class the French Vespa V5A # 216 from Julien Desnuelle, driver: Olivier Doussot (both Team SPRT). The first race with a Vespa with electronic direct injection without a carburetor. See also: M1L Quattrini Vespa without carburetor

Or the official LML 4T Corsa with a 166 Polini in the K6 / K8 classes. Not quite as fast as expected, but some people seemed very interested in the tubular frame ...

During the award ceremony and raffle some very nice gifts were given to the participants. Thanks to the sponsors and above all to that Scooter Center!

After that, the party went on late into the night.
On Sunday, we went home again after a well-deserved “croissant” from the Challenge Scootentole.
Many of the international teams had a long journey home ahead of them.

Next race: June 8th in Marcillat, 14. Challenge scooter tole

M1L Quattrini Vespa tuning made in France

This is a Smallframe Racing Vespa from France without carburettor.

M1L Quattrini means that this cylinder was installed in the engine: Quattrini M1L cylinder kit.
"
without carburetor ”? YES!
The boys of SPRT racing have at the Smallframe Vespa from Julien Desnuelle an electronic 2-stroke Direct injection built in.
Julien got in touch with us: Correction: built in indirect injection, so not directly in the cylinder head.
Addition from Julien to the engine:
The cylinder is an old M1L 2008, the one with the tiny reeds. It is associated to full circle Mazu crank for ETS, Vespatronic ignition and Franz exhaust: that's a really small set-up for a K2!
The carb has been changed for a 28 mm throttle body with butterfly.

Here is the M1L Quattrini Vespa in action on the racetrack at Scootentole in Mirecourt, driver: Olivier Doussot, SPRT team.

M1L Quattrini cylinder Vespa 8000068

The M1LR is the latest litter from tuning guru Max Quattrini. The basis was the M1L, which was improved in many details. The 125 cc displacement (56 mm bore, 51 mm stroke) is still fed via a diaphragm direct inlet. The cross-sectional area of ​​the diaphragm has increased significantly for even more power across the entire speed range. In addition, the transfer devices are operated directly (via so-called Boyesen ports) from the inlet. The use of cast aluminum with an ultra-hard Nikasil coating has, of course, remained.
The main overflow channels are divided and offer an insane cross section and a control time of approx. The outlet already has a control time of 127 ° in the standard trim. In order to achieve the largest possible area and to optimize the flushing behavior, two secondary outlet channels have been introduced.
The intake port, which is also included in the scope of delivery, is provided with a flow-optimizing stuffer (the connection width is 31 mm outside, 22,5 mm inside). The cylinder head has a central combustion chamber and is provided with a shoulder for centering the head in the cylinder. The piston is equipped with a 1 mm thin ring. The power of the cylinder is specified with 25-30 HP on the rear wheel.

Vespa races in Austria

For the fourth time, the endurance race took place on April 27.04.2013, XNUMX as the season opening the spring race on the ÖAMTC test site in St. Veit. We, the DART RACING TEAM, took part again of course.

DART Spring Race 2013 005

The 1200m long circuit offers not only relaxed full throttle passages but also tricky sections.

The start / finish straight is certainly to be seen as a particular challenge. After a good 200m run downhill, it goes over a knoll behind which the route drops again by several percent. If you are traveling fast enough at this point, the tires lose contact with the ground for a short time. In short, a route that is really fun.

Here is the route profile, the circuit of the Vespa race in Austria marked in red.

We have briefly explained the more important route points (1-11) again below.

route2

Before the start, from 6:15 a.m., there was still the opportunity to do a short 40-minute training session on the track. Fortunately, good weather was forecast for race day.

DART Springrace 2013 006 - copy

And shortly before 7:00 am it was time to take the starting line-up.

It started in the classic LeMans style at the Vespa race in Austria.

DART Spring Race 2013 010

The day before, when setting up the pit lane

DART Spring Race 2013 017

the starting places were awarded by lottery.

Mmmmh ... who knows what this is good for ...

DART Springrace 2013 015 - copy

Since our starting number 39 can be divided by our starting position 13 and the result is 3, we simply saw that as a good omen :-)

The first 90 minutes went without any problems. Until Robert tore off the crossbolts when they were flipped in the circular path.

DART Springrace 2013 020 - copy

A loose motor has a lasting effect on driving behavior and so the crossbolt had to be replaced. Unfortunately, we dropped from 10th to 38th place due to the repairs.

Far back it was all about driving evenly in order to let the distance to the targeted group of the first 10 melt again.

But as is the case with long-distance races, the placement is not decided in the first laps. 12 hours is a long time and so there was still a lot of work going on around us.

DART Spring Race 2013 019

and next to us ...

DART Spring Race 2013 021

and again on the other side….

DART Spring Race 2013 013

But it was our turn again after 8 hours ...

The long downhill stretch of the route takes its toll in the form of 2 sets of brake pads

DART Spring Race 2013 037

The remaining 4 hours ran without any problems except for a cracked fan cover.

Our Polini Evo, charged by a bigbertha and ventilated by a 33 Keihin got us through the 12h without any problems. Even with the Sava tires the 12h left no lasting impression. We will probably continue to use this set of tires for the 24h race in Spain.

DART Spring Race 2013 045

Especially in the uphill sections, the torque that started very early could push us forward. The small drop at 8000 rpm is the price for the impressive performance entry at 5600 rpm and the maximum torque around 6500 rpm. A guarantee for very good gear connection and good thrust from the uphill curves.

DART Springrave V1

Exhausted but quite satisfied with 8th place, we were able to cross the finish line at the Springrace Vespa race in Austria after 12 hours.

DART Spring Race 2013 041

We, the DART RACING TEAM, would like to take this opportunity to thank the organizers of the race and all participants. It was another party and we hope to be able to take part in this successful event again in 2014.

Here are a few more details about the route:

route2

1) Start / finish straight, downhill, gear 4 full

2) Shift 3, brake the small chicane in front of the crest

3) Short gear 3 full, brake on the 80 ° left to the circular path

4) out of the circular path in gear 3, accelerate briefly to 90 ° to the right

5) shift into gear 4, gear 4 full up to point 6)

6) brake uphill to the 90 ° right, switch back to gear 2, over the little hilltop

7) as soon as the front wheel is on the ground again, brake on the small chicane, driven in gear2

8) 180 ° left, uphill, accelerate out, shift into gear3

9) uphill, shift into gear4

10) brake to the 180 ° right, shift back to gear 2

11) accelerate out to start / finish, shift gear 3 -> gear 4 soaas ...

Vespa races in Austria

Vespa racing engine with 35HP + part 2

Today the first part of the innards of the Vespa racing engine is on.

Special requirements call for special solutions.

The crankshaft is subject to very high loads. It has to transmit the pressure generated by the combustion in the cylinder to the drive in a translatory manner and is subject to rapid jumps in engine speed during racing. Our special shaft weighs almost 2000 grams. and is therefore a lot more massive than an already quite officially balanced Polini rotary valve crankshaft with 1400gr.
In direct comparison, a V50 crankshaft weighs just 900 grams. a real flyweight.

The high mass of the crankshaft allows the engine to run very smoothly and is less likely to be disturbed by a rather heavy piston.

However, the rotating heavyweight requires proper storage, after all, with increasing speed, the loads and forces acting on the bearings increase exponentially.

quattrini falc03 (1)

The inner ring of the bearing is used for lateral guidance in the housing. Therefore, the axial play in the housing must be measured in advance for installation.

With a depth gauge, measuring is very easy and accurate. For self-control, we carry out several measurements at different positions in order to avoid a measurement error.

quattrini falc 004

The dimensions of both housing halves add up to an installation width of 78,05mm. We do not need to consider the strength of a housing seal. As is customary with modern assemblies, the Quattrini housing is made without a solid seal and only with Sealant put together.

In order to know before installing the bearing with which thickness of shim rings we need to insert the bearings in the housing, we need the installation dimension of the crankshaft.

The inner rings are shrunk onto the stub shaft. To be on the safe side, if an inner ring should jam during assembly, we fix the crank webs with one more to the crank pin Directional wedge and put one Recoil-free plastic hammer ready.

quattrini falc2 015

The crankshaft is with Cooler spray cooled down ...

quattrini falc2 017

and which heats the inner rings in the assembly tool.

quattrini falc2 019

As expected, the heated inner rings fell onto the crankshaft stubs without any problems and we can measure the installation width of the shaft.

quattrini falc2 021

The micrometer gives us a dimension of 77,58mm. With a desired installation clearance of 0,20mm - 0,40mm, we need a shim of 0,20mm. With that we end up in the middle of the tolerance field.
In our case we only need to compensate 0,20mm. If the dimension is larger, it is advisable to compensate for the axial play on both sides, as otherwise one-sided pressure load can occur on the connecting rod and connecting rod bearing. In the performance and speed category we strive for, the cornerstone for a reasonable defect ...

All other bearings are also used by shrinking.

At the primary bearing, the 16005 , we consciously choose a bearing with increased internal clearance “C3”.
The bearing fit in the Quattrini housing is in the lower tolerance range, so it is rather tight.
After shrinking, the housing moves back in and increases the pressure on the bearing outer ring. By installing the primary, the inner ring of the bearing is also expanded, which further reduces the bearing clearance. If the bearing clearance is too small, the bearing would run too tight and thus be damaged in a relatively short time.

At the camp for the Main shaft on the wheel side, we use a 6204RSH, i.e. with a one-sided seal.

This means that the brake anchor plate can be removed without losing oil when changing the primary or working on the clutch.

Before the auxiliary shaft and auxiliary shaft bearings go into the engine, we check the installation clearance of the crankshaft.

The simplest method is to control via Feeler gauge.

falc quattrini3 002

The crankshaft is simply inserted into the housing and the housing is screwed into the stator housing. Then the shaft is pulled once to the stop on the gear side and measured between the cheek and the flat surface in the housing. The crankshaft is then pulled to the alternator side and the gap is measured again. The resulting difference in dimensions is therefore our installation clearance. In our case the values ​​are 0.70mm and 0,50mm, so the installation clearance is in a healthy range of 0,20mm.

Next we check the seat of the clutch spider on the auxiliary shaft. The cons must fit perfectly so that the force can also be transmitted on this tiny surface.

Copy of falc quattrini4 014

The contact pattern can be determined very well with valve grinding paste. When the cone is flat, the auxiliary shaft is ready for installation.

The spurious and 6200 we use it together because the installation position is deep in the housing and the small bearing is difficult to handle when loose.

falc quattrini3 006

Once the auxiliary shaft has taken place, we can start measuring the clutch.

For the second time, the 2 hour fall race took place on 29.09.2012/11/XNUMX in Rechnitz / Austria.

As part of the endurance championship, in addition to the spring race and the endurance in Hungary, the fall race is the end of the season in the endurance class.

On Friday the Speed ​​arena can still be trained all day.
Time enough to get to know the asphalt carpet and the new one BGM chassis set on the replacement vehicle.

Our company vehicle was once again our tried and tested PK, with which we have already contested a number of long distances.

Equipped with a Polini Evo, Straw speed aspirator, BGM crankshaft and Big bertha, we had reliable 24HP and 20Nm available for the 11h to be completed.

The only 970m long route with 16 curves, alternating fast and extremely slow sections, demanded a lot from the drivers and the material. A fact that we had to learn painfully in the later course of the race.

For the entire race weekend, the weather report had promised a lot of sun and, above all, no rain.

So after the rain trips in Hungary and Magny Cours a real treat for the season finale - we thought ...

The Saturday morning showed up with a few clouds and the anticipation to start the sunrise was very great.

After the driver and vehicle are ready to go and the filling station has been set up,

we all looked forward to the Le Mants start at 7:30.

Having started from 11th on the grid, we were able to sort our way into 3rd place in the further course of the race through a tire poker when it started to rain.

There were many exciting duels and frequent changes of position, not just in the front rows.

Unfortunately, 3 hours before the end of the race, the wear and tear thwarted our plans.

The brake pads gave up their service on the vehicle after 8 hours and had to be changed.

All in all, this stop lasted around 8 minutes, so our lead on the 4th placed Chili Racer team was gone with 5 laps and we now had to start the race to catch up in 5th place, 2 laps behind.

In spite of all attempts, the lead on the longed-for podium place was now unreachable. With a cushion of a few laps in 6th place, half an hour before the end of the race we just decided to drive home safely and without falling and finished the 11h race in 532th place after 5 laps.

Looking back, we can say it was the most exciting racing weekend and a successful end to this season.

We thank everyone who works on the organization and realization of this racing series.

Thanks to our sponsor Scooter-Center and everyone who helped us through the 2012 season.

See you on the track - 2013!

Dates for the Spring - and fall race are already certain ...

Dennis, Alex, Robert, Torsten

On September 21st and 22nd there was the end of the season in Magny Cours as part of the Scootentole races.

The series, which now consists of 3 races, is also enjoying increasing popularity with ESC drivers.

After the last runs of the ESC in Hungary literally fell into the water, we were actually hoping for a nice, warm and above all dry racing weekend.

The Friday training, however, had to take place completely in light rain.
So it was called on Sava monsoon or to change K58RSC rain tires.

When the sky locks were really opened again on Friday evening, we already let all hopes go for a dry racing Saturday. Even the cautiously optimistic online weather forecast and the slightly confident “RAIN-O-METER” could not lighten our mood in the face of this deluge.

However, Saturday surprised us with the cloud cover and when the track dried out, we were able to do our first free practice and qualification.

With the Sava's the wet, slippery route could still be controlled well. Nevertheless, the top times were still 1:10 and as soon as the water was no longer on the track, Maik Persch (ESC175) could drive a maximum of 1:08 into the wet asphalt.

It stayed dry for the entire day of the race, so the feared tire slaughter did not occur in which one had to switch from dry to rain tires and back again 5 minutes later.

So the tire choice for Saturday was the Sava Super Sofat for the front and the Soft Drinks Version for the rear.

Maik Persch, this year's champion of the ESC, was able to take the overall victory in class C3 on these rubbers and despite a very considerable straight drive with a subsequent take-off through a hanging throttle slide.

The award ceremony took place in the usual exuberant atmosphere. A nice end to the day with a buffet and subsequent raffle.

... and there was enough celebration in the paddock afterwards, the “K8” counter class of the ESC, is in any case and fortunately, cross-racing series.

2012 was a special year because this year the ESC Endurance started for the first time. In this endurance championship, in contrast to the regular ESC championship, there are no sprint races against each other, but teams drive up to 6 hours at a time to win. That Scooter Center Cologne sent the GSF SCK Endurance Team (Andreas Putz, Michael 'maniac' Betz) into the race, which already earned its spurs at the 24 hour race in Spain and achieved a splendid triple victory there (fastest race lap, class win, overall win).

The first endurance run in Liedolsheim as part of the Stoneheads 'Run'n'Race', in which the team was able to take first place without any major problems, went with correspondingly high expectations. After the endurance run in Wackersdorf had to be canceled due to poor weather conditions due to the 'cornering' of the pacemakers, the race at the Harzring, which was organized by Wotox SC, was on the agenda. The weather was mixed and we had a nasty take-off that catapulted us beyond the podium in terms of space. After a lot of plumbing work on the racing machine, the rpm scootering 'sheet metal fight' in Belleben was on the agenda, which despite a leaky head, leaky exhaust flange and a torn membrane was completed second. Blessed with these defects, after the body, the engine also deserved an overhaul, which had previously contested all races of the season including the 24h race without revision. With freshly revised work equipment, we then arrived at the season finale for the 'Holidays in Hungary', which was organized by GOA SC. At the beginning of the race still on a hard-fought first place, we lost valuable time due to a brake defect and a dented (wtf ??? diagnosis pending!) Spark plug. Equipped with a strategic will to win and with fantastic weather behind us, we secured second place in Hungary, which won us first place in the ESC Endurance Championship!

At this point, many thanks to our guest drivers Benedikt Neuberger, Robert Leibfarth and Jens Fischer ... thank you guys, another job well done!
