No it's from Alutec Germany, they have several models, but there are a lot of custom parts on the chassis.

hey did you have to mess around to get the throttle wire to the servo and carb to work properly cos of the new carb angle ? i never wanted to put a trevor simpson engine into a FG cos i thought the carb angle would hit the diff gears .

No problem, just a few small adjustments was all i had to do.





@ waqr, they are FG shocks.

It is a tuned 26cc engine also, i ran it the first time and had a little rock into the flywheel so it had some damage to the flywheel (1 fin broke off) , replaced it for a new tuned and lightened one and it's mt spare engine for now.

I ordered a +1mm stroker on ebay to use it together with the Trevor Simpsom reed cylinder i bought at DDM when the current cylinder needs to e replaced i will put on the new 1mm stroker and TS cylinder on the TS.
