RE: backup motor
The JP Mod is a limited production model. 300 engine's. Only 100 piston/sleeve/rod combo's made. I just bought P/S/R combo for mine from RCNITRONATION.com. Good engine. the EB Mod is also very good. They are both worth extra buck's. The mods seem to limit the life of piston and sleeve. About 2 gallons's when run at top performance continually. I have 3 V-spec's running right now. 2 are RB mods. I have one that has 15 gallons through it. I just put its 3rd P/S/R in and replaced the original front bearing. I will keep it as a spare, until time to rebuild one of the other's.
