There are good deals out there, I have seen them on RCU and other forums as well. But like with anything else purchasing a used engine via the internet can be taking a risk.

So just watch out and you will be fine.

The larger the engines the 120's and 140's the better you be in the end for buying a used one. In many cases these older engines can be had at a reasonable cost and if they need rebuilt the extra cost is not that much. You just never know. Some people take good care of their engines and others well the engine is not the priority. If you are buying one froma local guy in a club or the likes...then look at how he takes care of his models, not just the engine.

Its like buying a used car....sometimes you get the one that was well drag raced by the teenager and then there is always those little old ladies driving to church.
