Don't know if this is the right forum for this but I'm searching for a (new) cylinder and piston assy (OS ref 25603000) for an OS 40 FX Max.

I know, you're probably saying... why not just buy a new engine? Well, you're right, the part lists for $58 on tower so it's cost prohibitive to buy from them. I've looked on ebay with no luck (still cost prohibitive).

But, if anybody would have that p/n just taking of space and gathering dust in a parts drawer or something and be willing to help me out, please make me an offer.

Thanks in advance...

ils vendent chemise et piston de remplacement (origine pas OS) qui fonctionnent parfaitement.

Goog luck

Status: offline 		Merci pour le lien Jacques Je suis allé regarder et effectivement ils offrent des chemises et pistons de rechange... mais au quasiment le même prix que les pièces d'origine chez Tower Hobbies.
Leur kit coût 30.00 livres = 40,30 euros et chez Tower (pièces d'origine) ça vaut $58 = 39,88 euros. Port en sus, bien entendu.

Je trouve que le moteur ne vaux pas ça car 1) il est vieux et il faut remplacer les roulements en même temps (6,88 euros livrés sur ebay) et 2) on peut trouver le même moteur en bon état (ou même NIB) pour un peu plus cher sur ebay.

J'aimerais le remettre en état pour pas cher 1) pour le fun, et 2) c'est un moteur qui peut éventuellement servir pour un trainer, même s'il n'est pas trop puissant.

Merci quand même d'avoir pris le temps de me répondre. C'est un forum génial où on trouve les gens formidables et très réactifs surtout. Espérant que quelq'un peut me dépanner...

Bon Vol !

I don't about the 40 though. Maybe someone here knows. Try the engine forum, those guys know everything.
