GOT an older late 90s 3W 70 Comming my way . is there anything i should be on the look out for as far as
any reliability issues ? its got the tillotston carb and the engine is new and been sitting for about 14 years, the owner kept oil
in the cylinder and says it turns over perfect . looks good in the pictures.


also where can you get standoffs for a 3W ? They gotta be 3.500 inches long.


thanks RCU

is this a twin? i used to have one...24x8 xoar was by fave prop a single might like a 24x10 better


psp mfg sells stand-offs http://www.pspmfg.com/RCStandOffsMotorSpacers.html so does hobbyking.com

get a carb kit, and you might invest in a RCEXL ignition, due to known issues with some of the older 3w ignitions. Please do NOT buy machined aluminum standoffs for this engine in such a long length. Build them yourself from hardwood square or round stock. I prefer square stock, so they can then be easily boxed for added strength.

The very early twin 70 had 4 separate weak legs for mounting, just the the early 60 single...Best to bolt the engine to an aluminum plate, then to the firewall..Later 70 twins had a stronger casting..We raced these before we changed to the GT80...
