What is a Cam?

[Sjorge450R]

I called hetricks and asked them about what to do to my 300ex and he told me a cam would do wonders. What is it. And what does it do???

[300ex_#387]

im not sure what it is or what it does but i do know that if you buy one from hot cames in gives you more bottom and mid power, i think it has somthing to do with your valves, they run about $100-$150 brand new

[ZeroLogic]

isnt the cam the thing that gets pulled in circles but your timeing chain that pushes your rockers up and down and the rockers move your vaulves to open and close?


if anyone gets that lol

[300ex_#387]

screw a cam! just take it off and save some weight!:rolleyes:

Sjorge300EX- do you understand what a cam is now? you may also want to look up the pros and cons on changing the cam timing (when the valves, exhaust and intake, open and close)

screw the whole motor use elephants!

[tater_kamik]

elephants weigh too much, how about mice??

[ZeroLogic]

dont elephants step on mice

what about having horses? then you can have the true meaning of horse power

[tater_kamik]

good point! 1 horse is equal to one horsepower, get a whole herd and that will be one bad arse 300!

[ZeroLogic]

yea then we will be on top of the new tech! just add spinning rim (wood ones of course) and a boom box !

[tater_kamik]

werd g, dont forget to stick out the rims about a foot or two with the gold wire wheels and drop it to the ground

where can i find racing cams to 300ex?,mabe ebay

and will a 400ex cam fit 300ex

i dont think so:rolleyes: ?

[tater_kamik]

a great person to ask is c&d racing, one of the site sponsors!! also the motor man himself, dam lamey. both are underneath the site sponsors in the forums. also powroll.com has some sweet kits, duncanracing.com. also, there is a difference in racing cams, do you do gncc, or are you more mx or sx? difference is cams designed for mx and sx are all about high end mostly, gncc, woods, atc, are designed for a wider powerband through the mid and high end

[tater_kamik]

oh, and i dont know about the 400 cam on an 300, i seriously doubt it, like 99% sure it wont, but ask dan

[quad janern]

thanx:D

[ZeroLogic]

quad janern if your new to quads and riding them i would ride a 300ex for a begginers quad

[Honda TRX250ex]

why spend 7000$ for a quad when you can get a horse that you dont need to change the oil get ne tires or fill it up with gas for like 3000$ :D........
but who could resist the sound of a four stroke :devil:

[tater_kamik]

hay is cheaper than gas....

[ZeroLogic]

my quad has 45 horses with 45 x-4 full exaust shoved up there bums :) i have can after can of beans to get my 4 stroke engine sound out of the exaust all i need is a gas mask
