Yep they are OOS and so is every other supplier that I checked. That is why I have made a request of other engine runners. Was hoping someone had a cam they could cut loose of.

Check the British hobby places. I buy parts from England when the U.S. is out of stock. Basically, the parts cost about 10% more but postage is about 10-20% less. The only downside is it could take a couple of weeks to get. I buy radio gear from England too. Always great service and fast response to questions. I got my aluminum backplate for my 72 from England. Here is a cam gear at one place that I recommend: http://www.hobbyplastic.co.uk/index....+6535a&x=0&y=0 That's $34.85 at todays conversion rate vs $27.89 at Horizon.

Do you know if the cam you're looking for interchanges with other sizes?

The cam fits FA-56 through FA-125 singles & all "short cam" multi-cylinder engine not based on the big block singles.(in the case of twins, one cylinder will use a reverse pattern cam with similar spec's)

All the engines employing this cam use the same SAI6535A part number.

I have a cam for an .80. I actually have the entire assembly with the cam, housing, followers and pushrod seals. All used of course. I'm sure we can get you hooked up. Give me a call, Cliff 801-390-1429
