1/5 scale buggy with CMB gas marine engine
Has anyone ever installed a marine water cooled engine in a buggy ? I'm thinking I might try it. Thanks for any info or help.

So no one has ever run a cooling system ? I just ordered the buggy, get it next week. It comes with a 26 CC engine. Been checking out computer cooling systems and think I can make one work on this buggy and probably will run the engine on alcohol for a little help in the cooling department. I have an extra CMB 27 laying around so I figured I'd install it and see how well it runs. I have the clutch figured out for the most part. I'll need to make some engine mounts, custom header for the pipe. I'll know more once I get the buggy. This will probably turn into a, How to install a water cooled marine engine into your 1/5 scale buggy thread, by the time I'm done. At least I hope it does.

yes it's been done...easiest and cheapest way is to source rad, pump etc off ebay, you can use computer water cooling stuff, there are many different sized rads in both copper and aluminum, pretty straight forward instal
