Got a question:
How good is this engine...
O.S .18 CV-RX Pullstart Engine
http://www.jespares.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id=3787
Is it a fast engine?
djheptic - I've got your PM, thanks. I'll read it later when I get home from watching HOT FUZZ!

a different header wont increase performance, so you should just replace it with the same one

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
Does any one know of an aftermarket
Head/Heat sink for the .18ss engine.
I have tried to get hold of a new underhead but there is not one available it comes
as a single peice £35.00 +postage
Is there a more robust aftermarket heatsinck alternative
