Im new to rc boats and im about to buy the Miss Circus 42" and am having trouble finding a .67 engine. I was wondering if the O.S. .81 would fit into it?

.60-sized engines aren't that hard to find. The MAC is one of the best out there right now. http://cmdracing.com/updated/main.htm

I was just on ebay and saw a K&B .67 up for bid on the first page. I didn't go in and look at it but thought of you. I don't think that this site will let you put in eBay links for some reason. Not the quickest, but dependable.

Status: offline 		In my experiance the best engine in the 67 range would be a cmb 67 green head or a 67 mac. Both of these motors are very tough. They have a steele rod and low end needle bearings. I have seen 67 cmbs preform very well in scales this year to the extent that I bought one to put in my Winston Eagle as I slowly get it toward being finished. Until now I have always ran piccos but I am saving those motors for my crapshooter as these are not available at this time. Hope I helped some. Ken

Status: offline 		Sorry to interrupt but I've been looking for Ken.
My buddy Mike is moving down there starting next Tuesday. I got his Aeromarine Cat half-assed done last night. It should be RTR but he might need some help getting it going. He has your number and should be giving you a call once he's ready.
