Thanks i will check the diffs.The diff oil you recomend,is that a good set up for bashing?I wont be racing only bashing and i am thinking about getting the badlands that are pictured a few posts back.I have the mashers on the way but i am tempted by the badlands instead but you cant get them in the uk yet.Changed my mind now about the tyres again

.I went down to the shed and got my old 2.5 jato rear wheels and tyres out and they look real good fitted.I have just ordered another set so obviously i will have all four.Not sure how the grip is going to be but they certanly look good

Mine is also fine and with a few fixing on the tank it doesn't leak any more

Just waiting that we finish the rebuild of our track to run it more and more .
Soon will get also a new SH engine and a starter box to have a little more power ...

Yep , it doesn't look too good,look's like a piece af metal got caught between the exhaust port and the piston,i would open the engine and check that the bearings didn't blow out .
Have you ever tried to lock the piston by the exhaust port in order to unscrew the flywheel ? I have seen that being done before and it also leaves those marks on the piston .
What starter box are you getting ?
I guess that you also have the RTR version ? how much fuel have you been through with the engine ? Mine has seen about 1/2 a gallon or even less and the piston has almost no pinch at all any more .

Told ya it'd work.

Well got the JP 5 exhaust for my .5, gonna try it out tomorrow and will report on this engine and exhaust.

Done around 10 - 12 tanks through this engine at the moment, and its time to start leaning it out and seeing what it can really do. But OMG this thing can really handle, if the shocks are set up right, they glide over the bumps, and absoloutely fly through the corners.!

I just got the engine used for a good price.It is a O.S 18tz and it is supposed to have less than a gallon on it. I have no idea of what the previous owner did to it. I am getting the Ofna mini starter box.

Yep , i saw after that it was a OS engine (the carb is particular) ,i would say that it has seen a screwdriver or else through the exhaust port to lock the piston in order to take of the previous flywheel .That's a typical beginner's mistake it can harm the engine a ruin the sleeve and piston but if your engine is running fine like that i would leave it and get a new sleeve and piston as soon as a rebuild feel's needed .
I am getting also that starter box as it seems the best way to start any engines on the CRT5 but for the engine i will go for a SH gold head 12 ,as i allready have a OS18TZ in my RC10GT and it makes the car so stupid fast that i don't want to make the CRT5 undriveable
