Buddy 50 in RH50

Post by RoaringTodd »

Is it a direct engine swap? Does the different tire size affect anything?

Buddy is a short case and RH is a long case. Won't work

As a curiosity, is there any way to use a Buddy 125 engine or other GY6 engine in a RH 50?

Easy. All you need is a welder and fabrication skills. :D

what they said.

Unfortunately, the mounts are completely different. Add to that the same problem that you'd have with the buddy 50 engine, where the case won't be long enough. There are plenty of ways to hop up a roughhouse though.
