Hey guys I have a volcano .18 engine that I will give to someone if you want it.The piston is broke
but everything else is in good condition.Minus the clutch shoes and clutch gear.I need to keep them
for my new engine.I dont think I will need it any longer.Maybe someone else could get some use out of it.Also it has no pullstart it broke too,lol....

ehroof

did you get the same engine, if so i would keep it.

chopper22980

Yeah I got the same one,but I dont plan on useing it that much.So I thought maybe someone else could fix this engine and put it to use.

I wouldn't mind taking it off of your hands, i'll even pay for shipping and all that. pm me if you're still interested.

chopper22980

Hey popper sounds good to me.I wouldnt worry about the shipping.It cant cost that much to ship.
No more then a few $'s.Just email me your address and I will get it cleaned up and shipped.
Not that its really all that dirty.The cooling head bolts are at my brothers and I will get them this weekend and send them to you as well.Thats where I was at when the piston snapped.

Popper252

Hey thanks a bunch man.

ehroof

chopper you are the MAN!!!!

chopper22980

LOL....Thank you,thank you....That was my good deed for the day.Now I can return to being the devil,lol<-----not.....

Popper252

Haha he is the man.
And hey, it was my b-day yesterday
I'm a whole 21 years old. Hell my next milestone is 25. I'll be able to rent a car then! Woo!

Hey chopper thats very kind of you. BTW what engine have you decided on to replace it? I'm on my way to doing the same thing,I got like 5 tanks through earlier and all I did was chase the tuning (runs so rich it wont idle without ignitor till 180F and hits 280F+ like nobodys business!) but due to the aggrivation this little VX has caused it'll be eating bullets (7.62x39 wolf's) within the next few weeks so I'ma go ahead and spend some cash on a new engine cause I love this little buggy and just cant bare to shelf it. Took the baffle out of the exhaust pipe and wow! Huge improvement!!! Need a good,cheap,easy to tune engine ,

chopper22980

Happy late b-day.Enjoy 21 while you can,cause after that it snowballs like hell.Then you wake up one day old as dirt.

chopper22980

I just went back to the same one.Now that I know what i'm doing,I can at least get that new motor
running right the first time.The one that I snapped the piston in.Was my very first nitro.
So needless to say I didnt know anything about them.So I know its my fault that it snapped.
I never did break-in the engine.Took it out of the box fueled it and ran it like a mad hatter....

So now I broke it,lol.....So for the new guy's make sure you break your engine-in.
Dont be like me and just open and run.Be good to the motor and it will be good to you.
Damn I sound like a shrink,lol.....

nitrosteve22

LMAO!!! I'm only 22 years old and I can totally understand what this man is talking about! I've never been big on drinking so 21 wasnt special (since I could smoke and gamble at 18 lol) . Seems like only two weeks ago I was 16 and raisin hell,then 18 hit and pow here comes 21! 21 was only like three days ago lol. The older you get,the faster time goes by so enjoy it while you can! Take it from us old geezers . Not really lookin forward to 25 either and it really doesnt help that everyone I work with is atleast twice my age (probably why I feel so old).


And I was thinkin about going with the O.S .18 CV-RX or O.S .15CV pullstart... I can find a better clutch bell setup but seeing as how people are still searching for better quality spur gears I get the feeling either engine would chew the teeth off everything.

chopper22980

I hope you find something that will work for you.I just dont want to put too much more money
into a engine for my volcano.After all I need that spare money for all the other parts I break,lol.
I'm 35 now and feel as if I was back in the cave man days riding a dinosaur and falling off,and
breaking my wooden shorts.

So popper drink one for us old timers,lol....Here was my saying when I turned 35..

I can not see,I can not pee,35 has come at last,lol.....

Popper252

Haha, i don't drink so it was an uneventful b-day. Still had a blast hanging out with all my friends. Atleast I can use my new found alcohol purchasing powers to woo the incoming freshmen girls next semester They get hotter every year!

Popper252

Haha, wow i feel bad for saying i'd do something like that.... eh, i can still look

chopper22980

Hey popper,really dont worry about the shipping cost.It wont be but maybe a dollar.Its not worth the time to send it.It doesnt weigh anything.Its boxed all up and I will send it,well today since its almost 1am....I see your point about the girls,lol.
