RE: Help with engine exchange
You need to take off the engine mounts, the clutch bell, clutch, & flywheel, & send just the engine back to them w/ all the info they ask for. After they get it, you should get the new motor in about a week. I just exchanged 2 VX .18 motors for 2 sh .18 motors & they just came this past Tuesday, Redcat's engine exchange program is the best. Hope this helps.

I hear it's a better motor, I have the .28 on my Monsoon. I haven't broken them in yet so I wouldn't be able to tell you, after I break them in I will update.

RE: Help with engine exchange
hey buddy, how have you been, na I haven't ran at all since the last time we ran together but I'm itchin to. I just got the two new sh .18 motors & haven't had a chance to break them in yet. I'm working 6 days a week & then on Sundays I'm helping my Brother fix up the house, so it's like I'm working 7 days a week, so I'm exhausted all the time, lol. I've been meaning to call you for the longest but sorry that I haven't. How have you been doing, Dino has been asking how Brendon is doing and when we will go out again, i hope that we can get together soon & run.
