I had started making the mods before I started this thread and I just thought I would share. I generally don't listen to nay sayers. Like what was said above - "I like to personalize my stuff". I have one 60NX with a bearing swap and one with port work and a bearing swap. I'm happy!

You can't buy a bigger 40 sized engine without shelling out the bucks which I don't have enough of. If this thing spits a rod, I'll buy replacement parts or a new one and probably mod that one even more! I'm a tinkerer from way back. I've been porting heads and building race car engines for 20 years - as a hobby. Even my daily driver with cold A/C is modded! I don't have anything that is stock. Most ARFs I buy, get changed some way before their maiden flight.

I learned a few things and I plan to play with the timing on my Super Tigre G-51 to see what I can get out of that thing. It would be cool if that engine would turn what the 60NX will turn being that it cost me $69 new!

Will the rod break on these 60NX if I keep it around 15K or less? Cause that is about all I ask out of them. I'm not going to put a 9x6 on these things and spin them to the moon.
