No, you're the one not listening. Here you have people on these forums, who have large amounts of experience in various fields, and your ignoring their advice!
Totaly_Recycled has worked with IC motors for well over 20 years, he's worked on things from huge 500HP industrial motors down to 1/2HP wiper snippers. He's suggest to you to go for an electric drive system for your first robot. I would take that advice. For $50 you can have a full electric drive train built for a robot, with a hell of a lot less hassle then going IC.

and for the feul tank i'll hav it pivoting so the tank stays level all the time
It's also obvious you know SFA about wiper snipper motors, they use a diaphram carburetta, just like a chainsaw and can work at nearly any angle. There is no need to make a tank to pivot. This is the exact same fuel system as hobby RC planes which do aerobatics without stalling or having "pivoting fuel tanks"...
And while I'm on a n00b bashing session, stop double posting! Just use the edit button on your previous post and add some more text, I'm getting sick of seeing all your half a line of text posts one after the other! _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

@Wilko: If you choose to ask people for their advice, thats good, many will help. If you choose to ignore that advice and go your own way and make your own mistakes, thats fine too, its your bot.
But if you choose to ask for peoples advice, receive it, and then say publicly on a forum that you're going to ignore their advice and do your own thing without any explanation of why, you have to expect that people will get offended at your lack of appreciation of their time to try and help.
Minibikes dont get rammed, pounded on, hammered, spiked, flipped, belted with 200km/hr chunks of steel, start and stop moving in different directions 10 times in 2 seconds with another bike sitting on top of them or any of the things that a combat robot has to deal with every moment of a fight.
ICE engines are not well suited to this type of application. They're not even that good as weapon motors without a lot of finessing, since they dont particularly like going from 5000rpm to zero in 1/2 second either. They dont tolerate hundreds of G's shocks well either. One of the biggest most experienced (& expensive) robot teams in the world (Whyachi) couldnt keep their *twin* ice motor powered remote-start capable bot running reliably enough to finish most fights with the motor still ticking.
But hey, theres a first time for everything, go ahead, prove us all wrong, but dont expect us to tell you its a good idea to try and do it on your first bot.
