We Took our 3 Engine 30HP Mini Bike to the Drag Strip

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2022
- Our 3X Tillotson 212cc 3 engine mini bike goes to the drag strip! It turns out that this 10' long mini bike makes for a great drag mini bike chassis due to the extended wheelbase. The Tillotson 212 engines are purring nicely, especially after we bypass the Tillotson 212 governors. This mini bike's top speed is more than 60mph right now, but we're shooting for 70+ mph when we install three high performance stage 2 Tillotson 212cc engines.
Thanks for Watching!

Love to see and hear how the three exhausts run into one straight pipe!
and with a big funnel exhaust lol
yes please do this
th-cam.com/video/AbIoyOzjfLk/w-d-xo.html
That would sound nice
A 3 into 1 exhaust would be really cool to see too! Be interesting to see if it effects the power band at all with the amount of exhaust scavenging it would produce
Considering the engines are not timed together the effects would likely be restrictive due to the large size of that exhaust, but if they all ran off of one 3 cylinder coil that could work well...
@@Grannybang35 You would literally have to sync all the cranks within a degree of each other which isn't possible, Thats true for the ignition and the exhaust.
better idea. zoomies aimed downwards
but it does look booooring with no 3 to 1

I see 3 stage 2 kits and 3 turbos and pushing it into the High 8’s. 🤟🏻🇺🇸
@2:20 I use to always just run over kart, lawn mower, atv, & utv tires with my truck tire..usually popped the beads loose pretty easy lol. The harbor freight tire machines are ehh decent anyway. 🤣
You can really gear that thing high with all that torque! Get'em on the top end! What would happen if you ran 2 clutches and the rear motor and a torque converter?
You’d probably stretch the chain up front
Would be interesting to see 3 completely built engines driving a series 40 torque converter and also a chained version for speed comparisons.
the torque converter would have to go on the front but that will work and be cool
@@williammckinney4971 the torque converter would have to go on the rear. You are modifying the output speed with the cvt, and the goal is to keep the engines spinning at the same speed while changing the output to the drive chain
@@kickboxs77 how would the chains from the other motors get to it and then the chain go from the torque converter to the rear tire
I like John’s tire tech tip. Head to the local tire shop!! I agree 100%
Glad to see full set of leathers on you Brother,
Now Ripit up!...
Hey boys, your absolute legend's. Been so cool to go on this journey with you and see how much has changed over the years. It's funny to go back and watch 9 reasons again... Hope ya doing well Charles and the lil one is finally leting ya get sleep. I think a twin V-twin engine drag trike would be pretty cool to see. Stay well guys, keep up the awesome builds......

Friends,
What a sweet mini drag Bike! I feel that direct sprocket couple the three engines to a torque converter clutch jack shaft. Then to the wheel might be super fast!
Thank you
Lots of room for improvement, but it was still a great first test!
Such as boost ??
A steering stabilizer , might be a good thing
Hey guys I’m having a problem with my predator 212 as soon as I start it it’s want to just take off
Just a heads up....there is some video/audio issues around 8:45+ and 11:30. Like the video repeats, and the audio doesnt.
pls bring back the 40mph lawn mower
Never heard a more true statement from John about tires. Spent multiple hours trying to change racing go kart tires with super thick sidewalls and was not the most fun thing ever.
Love Piedmont Dragway!!! Very cool track for mini bikes and anything you can race lol
Been going since I was a kid and at 47, I go every chance I get. As a kid, I remember seeing people watching the race for free from the top of those pine tree's across the street. Lol
Enjoyed visiting with the Cars and Cameras fellows at the Pate Swap meet in Ft Worth, Texas last weekend.
Just want to say I love these videos and I’ve always wanted to know what some of these projects would do on the strip and it’s all around awesome thank you for the content!
I havent missed a video since your C6 Corvette review, which i believe was your first or second video. These years have gone by fast and to see what you guys have turned this into is beyond extraordinary!
Great job guys, fun to see what differences the gear changes and tire changes do.
when u was talking about building a garage, i specifically told u guys to go bigger. lol i built a 40x80. within 5 years i wish i went bigger. keep living the dream and bring us good content to watch. joking aside, i apricate u guy for taking the time making these videos for us.
Very cool to see the progress, development, and planning for the 3-engine bike.
Keep up the good work guys! Looks like a lot of fun!
i had a 3hp break a rod once because it wasn't governed xD but it was fun while it lasted.
Love your work and videos! Now, a larger tire adds more rotational mass, which means the initial launch is harder to get moving but helps with the top end. That's why they invented wrinkle walls. Small diameter to launch, but expands for top speed. In your case, I would stick with a smaller tire and just work with the gearing to get that bottom number quicker. Just a trial and error thing and what you desire. Getting off the line is only the first part but also one of the most important. Maybe find a tire in the middle of what you have and work with the gearing

Love the mini bike content! You guys got me into mini bikes!
Love to hear it🤘
Starting to love this bike. Lol still having heard no one mention the new 212 ghost.
I almost fell of the chair as he almost fell over off the line due to gravity not thrust !
Magnum Opus !
Nice work. I'm very impressed.
Much Love.
Much Respect. 👊
Well guys keep up the good work looking forward to watching the shop show and the two-stage motor build
What a week for you guys. Incredible vids.
Love this channel, you making so much good content with all the cool bikes and carts you've created from scratch.
Oooh the wagon is back out!
That pickem up truck is looking good. I remember when it was just a the cab you were doing body work on. It’s come a long way
You guys look like y'all are having a lot of fun! Good luck with your build, and be safe out there.🏁👍✌️🤞🇺🇸
I can't wait to see you guys modify this thing. Higher engaging clutches will help it get off the line too. It's gonna be really fast when modified!
Can’t wait to see what it does with a stage two on it great video 👍👍
you should link the engines by one chain timing the firing order 120 degrees apart like a inline 3 cylinder and see if it improves the power
You dont always have a bunch of oopsies in your editing but when you do wooo wee XD decent video anyhow!
Another great video guys. This Old Man always enjoying them. Waiting for the next one. Love you guys. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
Three hot motor sounds pretty good to me can’t wait to see that one! Excellent first ride though and great video keep up the great work👍🏼🤩💪🏼
love your vids thanks for posting
Had a similar "fuel starvation" issue with a 212 predator motor after bypassing the governor, go down the road wide open and it cut out like it was out of fuel. I found when i cracked the lid on the fuel tank i didnt have that issue anymore, it would catch back up and run fine again. Torque converters on all 3 of those motors would be badass
So many combinations of possibilities to try and get that sucker to go faster quicker. So much more interesting than another video of a supra destroying the strip, can't wait to see.
Cool video guys, test and tune days are ups, downs and alot of head scratching, congrats on shop improvements.
Central California Watching
Great job guys !!
Props to pulling the govenors and sitting above three grenades 🏁🥳
I agree with Mopar Casey, get some stiffer springs for the clutches, the engine will wind right up at the x-mad tree and after that... Better hang on.
Yep.
great stuff guys thanks
Awsome episode! looks like yall had fun
Looks like a bunch of fun. 🤘
Fantastic testing machine.....keeeeep changing it up!
Looks totally safe and sturdy ! 😆
Best Tech Tip ever, John.
I'm really enjoying the field trip content recently. It's nice to see some of these machines get to stretch bout their legs.
Guys I love all the track videos I hope you keep doing them and maybe do some more test and tune on the mini bike to get better times anyway thanks for the videos keep up the great work
This needs to come back and get a drag slick. Some Elmer Trett stuff right there!
The juxtaposition of that dragster rolling by and then John handing Ike three zip ties for some major power mods is just, the best.
Love this video I'm gonna put a bigger tire to get more topend Awesome Job!!! I would love to see the upgrade on that 30 hp bike
I'm glad to see you're doing another door on the back side. I mentioned in your first shop build video you may want to consider it since anything you put in that back corner or on the 4 post lift would be trapped. Looking good!
Now this is what we have all been waiting for
Awesome video guys.
Would have loved to see you guys run since you were at my local track.
I'm loving the racing content recently!
Turning into one of those channels where you can automatically skip to the very middle of the video because that’s generally where the main advertised content actually starts. 😂
We can get in the 9"s!... Dig that!
Yall guys are awesome 💪💯💪
I have a suggestion that will help you guys save time and frustration in the long run. Take some angle iron and pipe, and make a bead breaker. Then take about 3 feet of 1/4" x 1" steel bar, grind and polish it down into some real tire irons. It should only take a day, and you may get a video out of it.
I used to break beads on car tires using a old bumper jack and let the weight of the car break the bead.
Wondering if you've ever messed with Gopro telemetry overlays? Would be kinda sweet having a real time speedometer reading on video. You guys keep getting better and better, thank you!
That's awesome!
Great job gents! As usual😃
Love the vids guys, keep it up. I see that sears roper back there. Hope thats in a vid soon. I have two I've been restoring. I need a sissy bar for one of them, if you could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Definitely my favourite build
5:10 That's me every time I make chili.
dont matter how old you are, youll still giggle at 69, ike just proved it.lol
Thought you guys would have a bead breaker. Fun stuff again. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Hell yeah brother !
Wooohooo 😁👌👍🌟 allsome stuff guys 🎉
Definitely not something you see every day! It will be cool to see it with the upgrades! As always, thanks guys! JW
I did this, but jetted the carb at the same time. No starvation probs, but no drag strip either. Love you guys. I have been watching Red Beard then you for a few tears now. Where can I bring my mini? I want to play. I’m in Va.
Perhaps some springs with a higher rpm engagement for the clutches would help you get off the line harder and faster. Great build guys. Looking forward to more of this bike.
Truly an art piece
Stage 3 those engines! HAHA! That would be sick!
It's about time you guys got a tire machine, it's like $50 at harbor freight so for a bit more in sure you could get something mint
Looks like a blast! Try taking the 3 air filters off on the strip.
Great video . I would like to see the TOT Rod at the drag strip.
Im with you Jon with the tire.
Three torque kits and taller gears next👍
Also just something I’ve done for years is when have carb issues I’ve added low grade race fuel to the gas not a lot but about half a cup per gallon and I’ve never burnt a valve and sometimes it helps if it’s just a little trash or weak gas
Which I have bought weak gas straight from the pump before to find out later
But anyway great episode thxs for what you guys do👍
Just make a small tire bead breaker get some medium style tire irons for motorcycles! The bead breaker has saved me lots of time n’ less headaches! 👍✌️You all would be fun hangin out with ridin n’ building some badass rides!!! 👍✌️
very good show😎😎
Love it. You could run 3 hot 212s with 3 torque converters fairly easily, use one looooong 420 or 428 chain with some cleverly placed idler sprockets to get the wrap you need on the driven sprockets. Kind of like what you did on the reverse engine fat tyre bike. Hell, you could probably mount the idlers to the TAV backing plates. Then that thing would really haul.
I agree about the tires, especially after using a bunch of improvised tools and a 10k forklift to punch the wheel out!
I'm sure somebody already mentioned it but you can break beads pretty easy with a farm jack and a truck bumper. I've done it a bunch of times over the years.
Issac ... Got an Idea for You three.
• 3 Bicycles. One for each of you guys.
• Strap Stock 2-Stroke Engines to the bikes.
• Race your own bikes around the Track. See who wins.
Now after that, make mods to the engines.
You guys can easily make 6+ video of this. 3 video each building your stock engine bicycles at least. 2-3 videos dialing in your stock performance before racing on the c&c track. 1-3 actually racing alone and all three bikes at once.
Then the mid vids... Countless videos as you upgrade 49cc to 79cc to 100+cc 2stroke engines. Air filters, carbs, fuel tanks, handle bars, rims/wheels, tires, etc...
Then eventually 2stroke Bicycles vs 4stroke bicycles... Etc...
I’d love to see the rail with 4 or 6 engines in it 2 rows of 2 or 3 it would be amazing I love that thing haha
Sweet bike man
I like johns way of thinking when it come to changing Tires I agree
How in the world do you have that awesome shop, all the cool tools, welders, plasma table, lifts, etc... and not have a $100 tire changer from harbor freight!?
i've got a 41 chain on my 5hp briggs minicycle conversion. running all of that power through a 35 chain is crazy. it gonna break, it's only a question of when.
I been waiting to see this baby rip
Badass video friend
Bring back the drag rail. Would be awesome to see the faster carts go against it on the track
It needs the 670 snow mobie
I will tell you how I change small tires on lawnmowers etc. Let the air out obviously, then to break the bead I like to take a sturdy pry bar/crowbar put it as close to the rim and bead as possible preferably between the rim and bead if possible. Then drive a truck onto the bar. Sometimes it can take a couple times depending on how long the tire has been on the rim but it will break the bead seal. Then I basically do what Ike was doing with the screwdriver but I have a couple pry bars meant for changing tires. I like to put a bar in the axle hole to push the bars against. Also most importantly use plenty of soapy water or tire changing lube, it makes the process a lot easier.
Not running out of fuel. The stack carb is jetted to run roughly 3600 rpm and is lean at 5500 with bypassed governors.
