Has anyone modified the cam shaft to gain more power or made a new cam shaft with 2 lobes.
If you're a member of Jim's R/C Boat Dock,there's a guy on there that used to modify Honda 4 strokes. His screen name is his real name,Bob Decortin. If you're not a member just register and wait to be approved.
