Hey doc here is the header. that is just about the 1 that I wanna try 2 set up a little just about the same[link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHKW3&P=7[/link]

Hey" buggy12" do u own a smartech as well? If so what 1?

clutch shoes or clutch bell?

you can give it a shot. I personally would be worried about the clearance I labelled in the image below. I don't think there is enough room for direct fit, but you might be able to mod something to work.

Well I also have a pic I can show u of mine. It looks a little diff then your pic. How exactly do u post a pic tho?

look under this message on the left side of the page, there is a button that says, "post reply" - hit that - then the message box will say "upload image files"

Ok thanks and here in my pic it seems 2 have a lot of room but maybe not. Maybe u can tell and let me know what u think.

i have a speedy tiger

Do u have this in the pic I just posted? Winner sport?

im not sure

the os 18 cv-rx is a direct fit. the TM wont fit. my smartech has the cvrx. it is modded to the extreme. i have hpi gears, tuned pipe, high performance header, ofna fuel tank, ofna failsafe. hitech, futaba, and airtronics electronics, along with many custom machined parts.

hey can you give me a link 2 some of the websites you got the parts from. I cant seem 2 find some of the stuff. also I was wanting 2 go bigger then an .18 do u think I can fit a .21?

all my parts came from the LHS, or i machined them. almost everything took modifications, accept the motor. direct fit. the 18 will make the car go as fast as you would ever want. plus i dont think you would be able to make a .21 fit.

Clutch shoes sorry, but i bought a o.s max 18 today but still need clutch and clutch shoes.

hey doc thanks a million i tried adjusting the idle screw and throttle trim and tuned the carby tto the factory setting and now it runs great!!!!

i have that same thing on my buggy were its like half a circal

Hey Doc

Thanks for the great info in your reply. I have another Q about this O.S Engine. Is it possible to add a direct drive to start the engine in place of removing the pull starter.

Thanks again.

What do you mean, you want to use a starter box, or a roto start? I am almost positive you can get a roto start for it, and I know you can get a Sullivan tiger drive for it. Roto starts require a new backplate, roto drive, and roto starter. Tiger drives come with the backplate and drive, you just need a cordless drill and a bit.

You can get a starter box to work, although I am not sure which brand.

Hey Doc

Thanks again for the point in the right direction. FYI, I just called Sullivan and they do not offer a direct drive for ANY .18 engines. They do however; offer the direct drives for the .15 engines. Do you know if the .15 and .18 engines have the same external physical charastics? I know. I'm really asking a huge reQuest with that one. I was just curious in case someone has done the mod to their buggy.

Thanks

I am surprised Sullivan would say that. I am 99% sure this one will work! .15 and .18 engines have the same block, different bore.

You should find a LHS and check to make sure it fits, I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

So can anyone tell me why the os 18tm wont fit on the smartech winnersport? I know the CV-RX is a straight drop in but I really wanted the 18tm. Is there really much of a diff between th cv-rx ant the tm?

maybe the answer is in this post?

if you are a machinist like me maybe its worth a try, but why bother? the cvrx is already too much for the car.

i am turning my smartech into a rally.i had an old body laying around that i used to run on my losi street weapon, and decided to install it. what do i need to do to make it complete? air flow over engine? where do i cut?
i dont have my drive train in the pictures. need some new gears. the cv-rx is a beast![img][/img]

thats pretty cool[8D]
