Trailmaster MB200 Tillotson 225cc Engine Upgrade

Today we take our new Trailmaster MB200 and pull the stock 196cc engine off. We upgrade it with the fully built Tillotson 225cc engine. We install a motorcycle gas tank, hd foot pegs, and super pipe exhaust. This bike is crazy fast. We topped it out a 58mph and we are certain it would do over 60mph.

60 mph... thats crazy!! I'm 54 and I have rode my share of go carts and mini bikes in the mid 70s to early 80s... none of them were that crazy fast....

[@trumpfancardanostakepool4737]

Good grief that thing is quick. That was some gutsy riding!

[@bryanleverett2830]

Just bought a mb200 for $300 while picking up a ct200ex for $300, I didn’t know what I was buying just that it had rear suspension and ran/drove. Holy cow that was a score.

[@vk2aafhamradio]

SCARY fast for a little bike. Needs that front brake!

[@marvicty]

The only thing meaner than that Tillotson 212 is Lonnie. Lonnie can flat out RIDE!!!!!!

[@Jalen_Knight8526]

I agree. Lonnie is an awesome man and so is Red Beard. They are a good family and are all basically best friends. Stay safe. God Bless

[@dt9094]

Holy hell that’s fast. Lonnie knows how to drive the day lights out of it. Great vid.

[@r0ckworthy]

EXCELLENT instructional video here. Makes it easy for us noobs to follow along. These mods you did are all the smartest mods you can do. Those are my favorite type of footpegs too, in my dirt riding experience. That is a really neat way you did the gas tank and the welding and pipe cutting. Awesome.

[@skybugproductions7527]

I wish the minibike I had when I was a kid was that bad ass!

[@mikesbarn1858]

Planning on building one myself. Saving up some money for it. Stage 2 hot cam and 24 mm mikuni flat slide. Should be awesome.

It would fun to watch you do a souped up mud motor, for boats. They are all air cooled with engines from popular manufacturers.

[@rockym2931]

Interesting and well-explained. Definitely some good ideas.

[@fatbuddycat]

Hey Greg get a Yellow spring in there for me and see if it improves the driven pulley. Another guy mentioned a 7 inch pulley conversion.

[@jefflundquist5771]

Geez, that thing is torquey and fast after the engine swap and mods, plus I like the engine sound! I just want mine to have low end torque for trail riding and perhaps not so much top speed.

[@awright9183]

Hey Big Red and the Red Beard Garage Crew... These Mb200s have just come to Australia. Not a bad lil machine for the price, it's gonna need a 420cc on it though...lol Hope your all staying well, keep living the dream bud. Ad from Oz. 🇦🇺🙃👎

[@THECHOSENONE-bk7xg]

I did that to my Coleman Ct-200U EX. SHES A RIPPA

[@danielzechariah7263]

I was thinking the same. They no longer do the front disc brake which sucks but easy enough swap out. the 420cc be rad, just need the bigger converter

[@ThinkBeforeYouSheep]

I chose this over a tw200, just don't see giving almost 6k for a bike unchanged since the 80's.

[@boomerraised8259]

I’ve been dreaming of taking my mb200 to another level and this is awesome. But do you guys have any plans to do a Lifan 250 cc engine. I’d love to see that.

[@honeybadgeractual5734]

Nibbi Carbs makes a good carb/cable combo that is AMAZING quality, like I mean show room amazing, and isn't stupid expensive. Mirror finish parts, mostly aluminum and steel construction, very well made.

[@freedomperformance1]

Do you have any idea if the 225rs long block is the same as the long block on this performance engine? I can never seem to catch this in stock. Thanks for making so much great content I have learned a lot.

[@monkeydude3987]

Super cool build you guys, love this bike may have to get one some day

[@mysticCrunch]

WOW that bike is sick fast nice build!!!

Only had one go 62 but we put a 10 hp Honda with just clutch and straight chain wildly dangerous but fun

RBG I wanted to see a Gravy Bones rip. I'm 6'2" 270lbs. and have been looking for something like this to climb a 1/2mile 500' trail up to my deer food plots.

[@thunderpants645]

You might want the turbo diesel he built. You won't get there fast, but I would bet that you would get there.

[@danthemowermedic4444]

Thats the biggest Drimmel i've done ever seent! lol Can't wait to get my hands on a 225 tilly. The only reason I'm sticking to a 212 hemi is I'm utilizing the factory electric start and added high output charging coils to run lights and a horn and whatnot. The power gains might make me do the change.

[@taviskaczanowski3924]

I wire up a 12v DeWalt battery adapter and use a 7ah generic dewalt battery off Amazon to power everything on my mini bikes and go karts. Battery lasts HOURS with led headlights, taillights and led strips underneath. Plus, it's extremely easy to remove and charge the battery

[@danthemowermedic4444]

@@taviskaczanowski3924 Thats basically how mine was wired up for a while. Getting tags on the bike here soon. Titled as a custom motorcycle (makes insurance expensive) Which is another reason I've got it setup for a proper charging system. Kinda a slouch out of the hole but will go 60-65 at 7k rpm. Mainly this was a project to see if I could make a legit "mini bike" Aka mini motorcycle lol

[@taviskaczanowski3924]

I'd still run it on a battery. Mount a spare battery holder somewhere, you'll have a solid 6 hours at least before you need a recharge.... when will you ever run a mini bike for 6 hours straight?!

[@danthemowermedic4444]

@@taviskaczanowski3924 one day on my tachometer I'd clocked 11ish hours throughout the day. Just different strokes for different folks I'd say.

[@jimcornish242]

can't wait to see the next installment on this bike...I've been wondering how to put a light back on my MB200-2, since want to put a billet flywheel on, but haven't wanted to be without my lights

[@semitrailertechnician4926]

Just use a small rechargeable battery

[@donaldstrishock3923]

That "Maniac " in the white SUV "Road-Hogged" & almost DUSTED the Test-Pilot. It sure is a shame when "bubble-gum licensed " drivers can't Respect a Good Guy just tooling around on the roads; testing out his "Way-Kool-Supped-up" mini-bike. What is the world comming to? That "mini-bike" should be called "Flash-the-Maxi-Bike". It sure went like "greezed-lightning". Another Master-Piece from "Red Beards Garage". Be safe & GBWY.

[@joshuataft5541]

That little chopper in the intro was sick...

[@douglaschitwood8850]

You guys do this for people? This is what I need for my lil mb200

[@justinduffey9237]

I would pay good money for that. You could sale that as a Redbeard edition.

Okay, I want this exact setup. 💯

You should do a 7" driven pulley mod like some people have. I'm doing the swap on mine right now

[@fatbuddycat]

What sprockets are you guys running with those 7s?

[@rustybeatty6567]

Finally a trailmaster mb200-2 done right they didn't screw up the gearing for once left it stock and achieved near 60 mph just up the front sprocket to a 12 to 13 tooth then it will hit 60 to 65 mph with their current setup on that mini bike. Just imagine if they put a 420 duromax or predator without the electric start system setup the same way as the tillotson 225 is setup that thing could possibly do 70 mph with 40 series clutch and driven pulley swaped in place of the stock ones.

between RBG,RBW and Cars and Cameras, yall have gotten me interested in building my son a cart. As I'm watching this and looking at my local FB marketplace i came across a 2014 Yerf Dog not running and from the pictures the rear tires look pretty good. Is it worth $400? Thanks in advance.

[@kenjohnson5498]

Buy it, it is probably fine and needs carb work and a tune up from sitting

[@bigbaby1177]

Thank you for the input im going to contact them in the am..

[@lizzard7473]

If it already has a seat and the frame isn't totally rusted out I say go for it. And if its for your son I'm assuming 12 or under id slap a predator 212 with an ebay torque converter. All in with new chain around 700

Hi Red My mb200-2 stock engines output shaft is over 1/2" longer than a Predator. How long is the output shaft on that Tillotson? Did it line up ok with the stock clutch?

My wife was like dammm that's freaking fast when Lonnie got on the road. I was like hell u ride (one of our son's best friends bike) nearly the same size as urs. Dunno what kind of motor he has its nearly the same thing u got Greg. I rode it and I was like dammm it's fast. I went around the block passed neighbors and they was like dammm that's Jesse. I dragged a good friend that's a cop. And I said can u clock the speed and he did. It went 49 miles an hour. I told friends that are the parents and they was like how fast. I said hell I weigh like 265 I am 6'5" and he has foot pegs like the one I have. I told him u build me the exact same thing including the motor. And I want the handle bars like u have Greg. End he showed me a pair of bicycle handlebars and I said I'll take them. He said he will have it ready for this weekend.
