On my 16th birthday in 1990 I got a SIMSON SS51. When I was 16 and 3 days old my dad found me in the shed with a file on the exhaust port and I'd shortened the header pipe, he was not happy . I had found a book in my school , how to tune a 2stroke. Only 3 of the bikes in my school year could over take the school bus...An Aprilia AF1, An AR80 (Cheated) and my Simson. That piston did 17,000 mile all above the red line . I had the bike for 18 months. :-) HAPPY DAYS. keep up the great work on the channel.
yes, i payed atention to that also, most of them they say "my english is not good" but they just need a effort and time to find the words but they use the right ones!! Im from Spain, and here i cant even say "my english is not good" really, no jokes about it. I went to Lithuania, Germany and other countries and even some kids can speak a minimun of english, thats awesome and admirable.
The technological benefits of 3D printing and controlled aluminium filling the moulds blew my mind. Great designs and knowledge shown in the video was so informative. You have great friends with the same passion. Well worth the trip!
Es hat mich sehr beeindruckt, dass es möglich war, die Luftfeuchtigkeit im kritischen Bereich vor dem Gießen zu beseitigen. Es gab keine Oxidhaut auf der Schmelze im Gießtopf. Wurde Schutzgas verwendet? Xenon oder Krypton? Oder war es wahrscheinlich eine deuteriumgesättigte Oberschicht auf der Schmelze.
What amazing technology Zalewatec are using! The intricate details the 3D printer can output is very impressive. Also.... That T-shirt design. I must have one!
Zalewatec are really impressive dudes. They must know their stuff when the configration costs are that low. Listen to the sound of the moulds when he breaks them apart, they sound so light.
Ebenso beeindruckend war die geringe Material-Geschwindigkeit des in den Gießbereich eingebrachten flüssigen Metalls, das sich später zu einer eindrucksvollen Welle aus flüssigem Aluminium im Gießendbereich formte. Das schnelle Abkühlen der Gussfläche an den Kernen, um eine hochfeste und feinkristalline Struktur zu erzielen, scheint erfolgreich gewesen zu sein. Der etwas gröber kristallisierte Kern in der Mitte der gegossenen Wandstärke ist bei diesen Dimensionen nicht so problematisch. Dies lässt sich gut am Klang erkennen, wenn man den Anguss und die Prüfansätze abschlägt.
Prices quoted were quite reasonable. Zalewatec knows what they are doing. Very soft brushes needed to remove the sand from the cores. Interesting.Love the risers and gates, looked more complex than the cylinder! This is cool stuff! Hill climb with lots of two strokes hit the spot! And nothing like a lot of beer to end it all!
That was so awesome! The adventures we’ve been on with you have made my life better, your a great person please remember that this adventure you’re bringing us on together is helping people in ways you’ll never know! Thank You ❤🙏🇺🇸
It's been around for a while, also investment/lost wax casting with more 'normal' 3D printing, using a 'plastic' that can be melted/disolved for the casting's void space. I was surprised how low their prices were, with all the development work figuring out the mould sections, and making them, I would have thought at least double, maybe 3 or 4 times, those estimates - but it's something I've been aware of, without getting into it.
Really interesting to see, and lovely with crazy neighbors (Norway ❤️). And what lovely people. I would have enjoyed myself there. / Per Lidberg Sweden
You are right. The term Zalewa originates from the Polish language. Our founding member Piotr is a native of Poland. Together with Christoph they came up with the company name Zalewa Tec.
Yes, totally agree! I feel Alex should be taking time to make a sturdy engine mounting that won't flex under load like the alloy beam equipped with a oil pump to form a resistive load. The water brake will be another distraction when it arrives.
Me too, I always think, prototyping will cost a fortune. I wanted to print my own cylinder block with my own design but I'm not confident enough to just wing it and produce it bulk so that it will be cheaper. But now, I feel like, prototyping 2 or 3 block before finalizing it is not that hard and expensive thing to do. Back then I just played with stock block, either port it which is not ideal because we can't freely shape the port as we like, or we can also weld it to build up the canvas and shape the port with die grinder Which is taking forever, hard, and the final product looks like a crap. Get the job done but not efficient, people will not be pleased by the product too.
They've been doing it for over 20 years, both printing sand, and printing foam. (Back then I worked in selective laser sintering at a company with the first EOS 770 in North America)
As much as I like seeing engine tuning and testing on your video's this was superb! It's great to see people get on so well with each other! The unit price is fantastic. I would like to see a cylinder cast like the Van Veen Kreidler and re tuned running on race fuel not RC fuel. RC fuel has being nothing but trouble going back 7 years to the SPX project! Congratulations to you all for such a enlightening video!
I once made a velocity stack from a plastic pop bottle and I manged to gain 400 extra revs from 15800 to 16200 on my 50cc test engine only when it was fully sorted.
If there is a place like that close to me...we could get some new cylinders made for our old rides, my buddy has a RGV250M that will inevitably need new cylinders, and my FZR400 would appreciate a new cylinder block. Hell yeah brother!!!
wow so much pasion and motivation... im jellous of that, here in spain we have 300 motorbikes per km square and we are not able to organize cool events like that :(
Only for making bespoke racing parts. Making mass produced 'daily driver' parts could never be that expensive and the company be able to sell them for a profit.
Using each € 4times 😅 they have a realy efficient process with almost no waste just look how fing clean it is there also by the looks of the building they are preety small on there Webseite the Team are 3 Guys with lots of Expertise and even if these 3 are only the team leaders or Kontakt that is still small and that is there streng they have a great prozess with great flexibility and that fitts prototye casting very well
@@TheLtVoss we could probably not even get these 3d printed in SLS/MJF plastic for that price from the regular suppliers we use at work. Maybe i should give them a call next time we need aluminium parts :)
Mom, the mad norwegian man is defying the laws of physics again
😂
💀
😂
Here in scandinavia we learn English in school from early plus the internet and movies helps. Older people might not be as proficient
We have had a pretty nice time. Thanks for that Aleks!

Damn. Amazing story :)
I’m English and it never ceases to amaze me how you all speak the language unbelievably well, my favourite channel.

Those are incredible prices for setup and per unit mold. Multiply 10x if it was in Canada
i did quite some work with them. just let them do it and send it to canada.
Mad Norwegian plus Mad German Guys Plus German Beer OMG !!! Greatness INDEED !!! And Racers OMG MAGIC !!!!😎🍻🍻🍻🍻
What amazing technology Zalewatec are using! The intricate details the 3D printer can output is very impressive.
Also.... That T-shirt design. I must have one!
Impressive company.
It’s amazing just how far technology has advanced.
getting 3 or 4 custom cylinders printed for under $1000 is insane, granted thats without machining but that still such a steal
Great to see these germans racing their Simsons. Here in Sweden most guys just like to dyno race to impress.
Highlight of my week! So glad you're happier filming outside your comfort zone!
Loved the Moped Hill Climb ❤🛵❤
Love it that a Norwegian and a German communicate in English.🤣
This is some crazy content… Alex, I have no idea if you realize just how amazing this stuff is and I’m so glad to be along for the ride
Wow...Amazing engineers & craftsmen
Once I finish my engine design perhaps I should use zalewatec
Good choise i think.
Ye, they're good guys, give em some cash 🙏

And how clean the shop floor is. Really nice to see the whole process
Welcome to Leipzig, my Hometown. I would pick you up and drove you around if i had new it. 😅
Its mad what one man will do in pursuit of the holy grail of 2 Stroke engines 😂

Another great video. Got to love the enthusiasm for the 'moped' hill climb event - lots of two-stroke smoke and beer!
How cool. I have never seen this process before! I've been a machinist for close to 30 years and a 2 cycle nerd for closer to 45 years.
It's been around for a while, also investment/lost wax casting with more 'normal' 3D printing, using a 'plastic' that can be melted/disolved for the casting's void space.
I was surprised how low their prices were, with all the development work figuring out the mould sections, and making them, I would have thought at least double, maybe 3 or 4 times, those estimates - but it's something I've been aware of, without getting into it.
3 to 4 cylinders for 1000 Euros is a great price!
i have stoped the video to say "250 euros each one? look at the job that it needs, it is amazingly cheap!"
Really interesting to see, and lovely with crazy neighbors (Norway ❤️). And what lovely people. I would have enjoyed myself there. / Per Lidberg Sweden
looks like there was a lot of fun to be had at that hillclimb,congrats to all who took part.
Did you forget to add the link for the girl/woman who likes 2-strokes?
Have we lost her forever 😢
Oh, she also has a YT channel without much content:
www.youtube.com/@quietschiie
We really are living in great times for rapid prototyping and production!
Famous German precision! Perfection! but Zalewa sounds very much Polish like ;D Nice work guys, keep it high tech! 2stroke and carbon
You are right. The term Zalewa originates from the Polish language. Our founding member Piotr is a native of Poland. Together with Christoph they came up with the company name Zalewa Tec.
This has been so cool for me to watch, I've always loved this kind of stuff and seeing the actual mold and casting process was amazing 👌🏻
Awesome video loved the friendships you have with the various people. And agree that is a good price to get some castings done!
AWESOME! One of! The best episode you produced, I had a so much fun watching, thank you for the journey.
"Hell yeah brother!" Someone is following Cleetus :)
So impressive. I'm so glad these places exist.
Oh dear, this makes my week, opens perspectives, unimaginable possibilities, my brain needs to re-initialize for at least 5 days.
@23:19min the Germans really go hard on this legalization thing 💚
Simply awesone...i love the vibes of 2 stroke people
The professional quality of these vids is astounding...
Hurry up back home with those new barrels Alex lol, the futures looking bright.
👍❤😁
Yes, totally agree!
I feel Alex should be taking time to make a sturdy engine mounting that won't flex under load like the alloy beam equipped with a oil pump to form a resistive load.
The water brake will be another distraction when it arrives.
16:57 That's amazing pricing! I was expecting 10x
Yeah wow!!

Love it!! So cool to see the modern process of casting. Keep on stuffing!
Really enjoy your videos. I have to admit I thought that would have been more expensive!
Velocity stacks DO make power. Fact of physics.
I once made a velocity stack from a plastic pop bottle and I manged to gain 400 extra revs from 15800 to 16200 on my 50cc test engine only when it was fully sorted.
that looked like so much fun
Amazing video dude ! I'm cannot believe the price to cast cylinders it's really cheap !!! Thanks for your content
That looks like it was a fun trip. The 3D printing and casting seems remarkably cheap for what they are doing.
Really good video, The boys at the factory are awesome and did a great job.
Hell yeah!!!!! that was EPIC!
If there is a place like that close to me...we could get some new cylinders made for our old rides, my buddy has a RGV250M that will inevitably need new cylinders, and my FZR400 would appreciate a new cylinder block. Hell yeah brother!!!
Bro speaks fluent 2-stroke 2:43
😂😂😂
damn didnt notice bafore now hahaha
Its not saturday. You're throwing my internal clock off by 2 days!
Thank you what a great video I hope you get the performance out of the new barrels and cases good luck.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍
Those shirts were cool, are you going to carry them on your mech store? I want one!
Well done Alex, keep em coming 👍👍😁
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!
Killer episode! Tack som fan Alex!
Its funny for me, as a german, hearing these guys talk in englisch while i can clearly hear that they are germans :D
Lovely Video, as allways!
My favourite video for a while. Some good content here! I like the regular content, but its nice to see you enjoying yourself!
Hell yeah brother!!!
so this legend was close to my home?
Awesome!
what an amazing process!
impressive
Most interesting. I ran the 3-d printing dept for my company.
wow so much pasion and motivation... im jellous of that, here in spain we have 300 motorbikes per km square and we are not able to organize cool events like that :(
Is that a Cletus McFarland reference? Never thought I’d hear that here, also I wonder what it would cost for a 6cyl engine 🤔
Really great vid! Thanks Alex! ❤
Incredible pricing for prototype parts.
Just loving the content for sure
Awesome process!
Hell ya!
Great episode
Thanks for sharing, very informative and cool.
as always entertaining watching your videos keep up the good work, greetings from Sweden!! :)
Last sunday evening I looked up when the 24h race in Varholz would be this year, now it hurts even more that I missed it. Nice video though!
Awesome content, as always. Btw we saw you and Jan walking through the pit lane at the 24h race. Greetings from team #94 Stahlhütte Racing✌🏻
that was excellent... thanks!
I am shocked in how inexpensive the production of the engine parts is!
So am I. I think there must be a discount hidden in the price though.
The Simson intake tube is interesting, maybe like long stacks, air flow is a funny old subject.
Simply lovely!
What a great video!
Dude! This is COOL!!
very cool thank you
Very cool stuff!!
Thanks great video
That cost is crazy cheap! I had no idea
Wow .. just wow ..
thumbs up on music vibe from me.
greetings from (Snorre)😅 from langtuning.
Looks like a blast!
Have to get blind drunk, when weather's that rubbish 😂
What an awesome event. 👍
Ducking two strocke heavens!
One word: wauw❤
The Swedish volvogini have to broken Lamborghini 10 cylinder blocks.

Think you could send me one of your crazy powerful engine to put on one of my motorized bikes? haha your work is inspiring
