Status: offline 		I just recently bought a CVRX and on the box it says cvr but it still has a pull start and while i was trying to install the engine i encountored a gigantic problem. The carbeurator is a ball socket joint instead of the stock kind. Does anyone know what i can do?

Oh and if you guys dont know what im talking about im talking about the little stick that connects the carb. to the servo.

Status: offline 		Yes. So anyone that orders an OS 18cvr needs to be with the 11j carb NOT the 11G carb.

Status: offline 		yes, i gave rc danny the carb from the .12 cz that i had from a few years ago, single needle and its a direct fit but the carb opening on the .18 is the size of a big block, like the traxxas 2.5 or 3.3 carb opening.
