i was also intrested to say that this engine is already tested after being built,so not much need for a run in .........but i will do it anyway cause im so kind hahaha lol

here is some info on this motor.

The new Cad-Power generation, based on Zenoah G240/270 engines.

The Cad-Power engines are hand built and modified. Years of experience guarantee for strong and reliable engines. They feature a flat torque curve and low fuel consumption. All engines are tested after modification. After successfully completing the test run the engines are shipped with a test certificate.

Tuning modifications:

- cylinder bottom machined for increased compression
- ports modified and blueprinted
- intake and exhaust ports are optimized
- timing of all transfer ports is modified
- cylinder gasket installed with elastic sealant
- tuning isolator installed
- crankshaft is modified and optimized
- crank case is blueprinted, modified and optimized

The engines are delivered in a wooden crate with an additional storage bag

[sm=omg_smile.gif] That looks nice dc2man. I bet you`re really longing to take it out for a drive [:D]

Are you gonna do any more upgrades to the drivetrain to make sure that it can take all that power?




dc2 man -> RE: FG BEETLE PRO REBUILD THREAD(my style) (5/31/2009 10:13 PM)

waqr -> RE: FG BEETLE PRO REBUILD THREAD(my style) (6/8/2009 5:29 AM)

We are really looking forward to your rebuild aswell :)

Why did you have to buy two new rims?




dc2 man -> RE: FG BEETLE PRO REBUILD THREAD(my style) (6/8/2009 9:14 AM)

because the fg rims actually go round after some use and just end up in a stationary position...........

kind of anoying...

dc
