I bought a used 2003 LM150IIR for my boy. I've read most of the posts on Hammerheads on this site but can't get a clear answer on where I can get a bigger motor or oversized piston and cylinder for this thing. The cylinder is scored and the piston skirt is trashed on what I have. I don't want to spend $300 on a rebuild kit if I can get a bigger motor for around a grand. Any ideas? I need this quick. We use it for paintball and the season is about here.
Thank

for all the information on your hammerhead go to www.buggynews.com. you'll learn more than you need to know,

 

I'm haveing trouble logging in at the buggy site. I've finally read all 35 pages of the other twister post. I found some useful info. I've been talking to Ray at Reliable Go-Carts, they originally sold the cart. He can order me another motor for $855, but can't say if it will be a 10.5 or 12.5 hp. He said I'll just get what they ship. They don't carry any oversized pistons and the pistons they do sell are on backorder. The one thing I've gleaned from the other post is that these Chinese companys are in the business of selling carts, not maintaining the carts they've sold. I'm going to try to find the honda motor that they copied.If anyone comes up with a place to get a cylinder upgrade let me know.
Thanks

 

for pistons kits or cylinder go to www. mrp-speed.com. your engine is a gy6 honda clone? they don't sell retail but reliable go karts can order everything for you, i just look www.miamimoto sells retail and has the mrp 62mm cylinder kit for the gy6 engine for $210, also the honda piston and gaskets should fit your engine .. www.awesomebuggy.com has a replacement engine at $575 in stock , one more place to look is e-bay motors has piston kits for you motor for $25.00 from acedivision imports

 

Man,

I sure want to thank you. You gave me more information in four lines of text that I got out of 35 pages on the other post. This has helped alot.

Thanks again
