Firestorm 100 Max VS. Phantom 85 V3 - Motorized Bicycle Engines 

I have a phantom v3 with almost 10k miles on it with a 34 tooth sprocket that would top out at 41mph on flat ground with my 250lbs on it at 65°f and 26" wheels.. I took my dremel and ported and matched the intake and exhaust ports and lowered my jet to the highest setting, and run 25/1 mix and now I hit 50 mph on flat ground.. 52 if i run 93 octane... The phantom is a beast!!!!!❤

I went and bought. 025" copper plate from the hardware store. And cut out my own head gasket. Then I heated it up with a propane torch to cherry red and let it cool naturally. This anneals the copper (takes out the work hardening from the manufacturing process) and makes it much softer for a way better seal than the aluminum gaskets. And boy did I notice a difference instantly! I also have mine on a trike built off of a schwinn stingray and a headstrom rearend. My rear end has independent axles with freewheels on both axles. So I always have two wheel positive traction going forward and one wheel can turn faster than the other so I can turn corners. But I have to start the engine with the pedals. So that puts my sprocket ratio at 25 to 22. Otherwise I have to literally stand on the crank to start the bastard. Which is ok unless I have a breakdown. Then pedaling at a near 1 to 1 ratio is tedious.

Didn’t expect the phantom to run so good. Kinda Impressed

Thanks for the video 📹. Just picked up the max. Should be fun. Wow that phantom 👻 😅 is something else 😳 👏 😍

That breaking up at high rpm is because the magneto doesn't put out enough power for the dual spark plug CDI...it won't do that with the single plug set up IV got that same engine and IV tested it both ways

You're back onto bikes. Finally.

Yo MJ how's the Phantom holding up so far?

So I've built a bike with stock Zenoah 29cc and I promise it will leave either of these bikes long beyond the blue Smoke🤙 I do like the manual clutch on bike kits but motors just don't compare to RC motors.

Wow, the LD100, I kinda want that engine. However, that 33 mph was unimpressive. I bet that exhaust gasket screwed you up

Phantom 85 is hands down a stronger and better built engine. However, not for the beginner. You should still tear down the case and do a thorough cleaning, chase all the mounting threads including cylinder and use locktite blue on the studs! Then you'll have a reliable motor

Great vid bud. One day I'll get my hands on a Phantom 85......one day🤤

33 is really disappointing! I've done 40 mph on a BBR engine. It had all the performance parts but still

the exhaust leak sounds great! Could you please do comparison of a YD85 52mm engine?

Can't wait until they make a good expansion chamber for the phantom 85

Is that Phantom 85 reliable now? Also, is that felt faker clone durable frame and wheels? I'm guessing it is also from Bicycle Engines also?

Fax, the phantom 85 will always be THE phantom 85. Something abt riding the phantom just feels so different from the other bikes Gotta fix mine asap

Just got my Zeda max 100 . It’s my 1st build so I hope it turns out well.

Where can I purchase one of those engine stands you are using to work on the engine? I've looked everywhere but can't find them.

Really wanna buy my first engine…that being said it would mostly be used for commuting. My daily commutes are between 8 and 15 miles and around 20-30 minutes. I need something reliable but also fairly quick as I’d like to get there within the same time as a car. I was looking at both these engines as well as a bbr 66/80cc and a Zeda 80. Just not sure what to go with. I need something I can hop on and just go with whenever though. Please help. Looking for some good reliable options and resources. People who have used these engines for over 1,000 miles that can honestly say they’ve been great with little to no down time.

Need to upgrade the bicycle model, make luck lake electric bike 😅

There's going to be a really big difference with the upgraded muffler

Thanks for the info very helpful

Should get the expansion chamber pipe they offer

Great video 📹 Can you share with us what set up do you have far is front and rear sprocket

Yes man I &I was checking out the Fire Max 100 what's the stamp on the crank rod??? Cylinder look look LD 100 cylinder looks like the seller give it a fancy name for sale looks like a YD bottom. As you were

I've got a question. I noticed you have a disc brake on the rear of the silver bike. Did you modify it to work with the chain sprocket? I'm looking for a bike for the engine I just ordered and I would prefer disk brakes.

hey whats the most reliable engine i can buy

The double spark plug what gives more than the one spark plug?

Which tooth would be best I’m thinking the 44 but I don’t know more sounds better but what do I know

👍👍👍

Do you have a link for the front forks? On the LD

Bro in the phantom 85 the Fzero frame what size is the fork and the rims?.... Is it 26ER?

I have ? , i ordered a phantom 85 v3 not try to go fast im 50 yrs of age will that engine run well on a fat tire bike

What oil do you use for this engine? I can’t seem to find what’s mentioned in the instructions as “Valvoline Two Stroke Racing Oil,” is this the same as Valvoline multi purpose oil for two stroke engines? I also already have Lucus’s semi-synthetic 2-Cycle oil, is it safe to use?

A better carb on it and muffler the phantom will scream do they make racing mufflers for it now and will a 22 mm racing carb will work on it

Just trying to understand so the 100cc gos 45top speed

Phantom 85 is simply the best, it be great to put that dual sparkplug setup on it and see what happens

Where u get ur stuff for bike frame for phantom and ur frame with built in tank

What kind of carburetor are you using and link??

Bro may I ask what size is your tires at the phantom 85 is it 26ER?

I guess I should watch the video first try putting that upgraded muffler on the phantom 85 but you hit 55.60 mph

What phone holder is that and the GPS app?? Thx

44 is pretty fast.

Nota 10

How much tight pully need or near wheel please guide

how do i know if I need a larger or smaller jet

28 tooth?

Acelera esse troço é meu botou de 60 cilindradas mais forte

That's not a fair comparison with a small muffler in a big muffler on the other one
