Default Rolling chassis..

Just bought my buddy`s Ofna ultra comp 2 for $100.00 ! It has a.26 Force motor that`s wiped out...! He ran it way to lean and POOF..! Other then that it`s in great condition. Anyway I`m thinking of making this into a drag buggy any suggestion`s for a REAL screaming motor ? I don`t want to break the bank but I`m thinking of something around $200.00...

That engine there is a beast. Total screamer, and tons of power.

STS .30, if you want one of those, email Ryan from Racer Nine, he is the nicest guy to work with.

If you can find one go for the:

SH .28 Prospec 8 ports or the LRP Z.28R 8 ports from Team Associated.

its like valves on a real engine.

this picture is a pic of the Sleave of the Novarossi 528xr

each one of those "holes" in the sleave is a port. a mixture of air and fuel enter threw these into the combustion chamber to be well... combusted, then the gasses are exited threw ports too (called exhaust ports).

you really have to under stand how a 2stroke engien works to really get what ports are.

I have a STS D21B that has well over 4 gallons on it and still keeps up with more expensive engines no problem. I just got and all most done breaking in a STS D21B RBmod and will be racing it in round 3 of the Georgia Championship Series this weekend. Will keep the stock one as back up. I all so have a STS 28 for my Savage but with racing just about every weekend have not had time to install it. Mark at STS Micro Engines is a GREAT guy to deal with and stocks more parts for these engines then any I have seen in the US.

There is all so a help forum on his site. I live on the east coast and Mark is on the west coast. I get my stuff in 3 business days.
