anyone else like playing with these things?
i haven't raced RC in 3-4 years at least i think... hard to keep track of time nowadays.
dug this thing out of the garage a week or so ago wanted to play with it while i was in central oregon riding dirtbikes, but bitch wouldn't start, had weak spark and i was messing with it and the plug wire ripped out of the coil ::)
i bought a new coil and put it on still wouldn't start and when i was messing with the plug the wire pulled out of the boot so it was bare wire, still had weak spark and i was like f it i'll just buy a motor off amazon. so i bought a 30.5cc motor for $150 bucks.
put it in, power washed buggy and cleaned up electronics. the carb didn't come tuned but after i adjusted the screws it finally started. runs pretty good. the stock pipe is choking it a bit but i have a knockoff pipe coming in the mail.
the other motor was 23cc.

I have a few but no bigger gas ones. I have my eye on a few though. My x-maxx is the biggest one I have.
The primal rc monster truck is badass but needs more power, I like the losi 5t but needs one of those ~100cc single or twin cyl motor swaps

Big motor claimed its first part broke bolt holding pinion gear on

motor lasted for about 15mins of run time. ::) ::)
they're supposed to send me another one.
