Make sure it is the "CV-RX"
one has a short shaft and another has no pull start.
Get the OS .18 "CV-RX" and you will have what you need.
I paid 130 CAD for mine including shipping from the US!

You can use up to .18 / 3.0 size engine in the fun factors without modification. Anything beyond that, you will need .21 conversion kit. We do offer a engine swap program for used engine in exchange for new ones. check it out on our website if you are interested.

Spentona - my lhs has a couple in, has had them there for ages due to the price... £160 he wants for one... I can call him and check the best price he can do (he likes me!) if u like? hes had them in since i bought mine - had to pay £140, but i was one of, if not the first person, in the country to have one!
US$90 plus shipping and customs from the US, could well work out cheaper tho.

The engine you posted on e-bay is the CV-R...no pull start on that one. The engine in the picture is the CVRX.
OOPS...I read it again
"One O.S. Max .18 CV-RX engine with pull-start"
The title says CV-R P/S. I guess P/S means pull start!
Just lookin out for everyone!

the os18cvr-x is the best side exhaust .18 out there, but the Team Infinity is hard to ignore at that price, unless they are a nasty motor of course - have a search or ask around for Infinity owners' comments, see if they are any good before buying.

As long as it is a rotary carb with side exhaust and doesn't have the SG pilot shaft.
If it has a slide carb, rear exhaust or an SG pilot shaft you will have to do modifications.
My recomendations are for the OS .18 CVRX engine.

No answer from the seller.
On the plus side I have been offered a brand spank thunder tiger MTA4 for £300 from my LHS. .28 engine does and brand spank does sound nice.
Think the MT2 might become spares for my Rally.........what do you reckon?????
