That is some serious juice.

$1395 with the mounting kit and motor, pricey but tempting [&:]

This was the first few runs of teh motor. Gearing and MPH still need to be tweaked for maximim performance.

is this the engine we are talking about ? http://www.teamgonads.com/1002.html i would buy one in a heartbeat , but i want to know if spare parts will be available for it , like pistons and rings and maybe a crank . how much more HP or complete HP does this engine make ?

when i said and asked if anyone would ever produce an engine for the 5B in the 50 to 60cc range i was laughed at and said it wouldnt be done , Well look at this now .

DDM has parts for the g62 listed on their site, but the cylinders are getting harder to come by.

Do all the same tuned pipes fit it? Or is the exhaust port or it's placement different?

Im fairly sure that none of the tuned pipes for the rc/cy engines would fit. The exhaust port is on the opposite side, and I would imagine the port itself would be much bigger.

? G62 cylinders can be found at many, many locations on the web, including major players like Horizon Hobby.

can you please make a special section for this motor with all the combined pieces to make a working assembled engine to go into a 5B, on your web site please .

Sorry, way too much work for minimal benefit - the SKOPOD kit from TGN is what you need.
