Easy change engine for the FF??
 
Does anybody know of a reasonably cheap engine, that is available in the UK, that will fit into the FF MT without any hassle? (I know i dont want much)

OS .18CV-RX drops right in. No other parts required. Just the engine.

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.

I looked for that enigine in the UK and i cant find anybody here that sells it so it looks like an import job. Where did you get yours from BootMachine

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.

Will this engine go in OK or do i need other parts as well?

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!

:D

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.
according to cen it will go straight in

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.

Ive had a good idea ill ask the seller if it fits. Seems far to sensible.

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?????
