I recently acquired an ARF trainer (still in pieces) from a co-worker. I received a .60 engine with it, but it seems to have problems. I can't get it to start. The engine is new, by new I mean it has never had a drop of fuel in it until I got it, despite the fact it has set in a basement for 2 years. Anyway, long story made short, I am considering trying to convert it to a outrunner brushless system. Have any of you out there done this? I would appreciate any input that anyone may have.
