why didnt you use the engine replacement program?

firebird78

did some lookin and seemed himoto is out of stock on go engines...and I found one for $114 to the door priority mail...

ehroof

np bro, next time if there is one, drop me an email i am sure i could have helped you out

firebird78

will do bro.....another reason I didnt use the erp is a friend of mine was home for the weekend...he moved to wyoming...anyway he was there when it happened...I tore the engine down on my tailgate....he thought it was just neater then all get out...so I gave him the piston and rod to put on his key chain...so yeah I dont have the rod and whats left of the piston...the skirt just basically blew apart leaving small chunks throughout the engine... I'm assuming they would want the piston and rod fer the erp...lol

ehroof

wow bro, was it running lean?

firebird78

nope.....it was running at 245 deg.....I find these engines are alot like a 2stroke dirt bike engine....same thing happened to my honda cr250...skirt exploded and locked up the engine...part of the game I guess.lol....im just glad it wasnt a Go .21 7 port.. those things are right at $200..or worse yet a rb or a rossi...if you dont need the piston and rod maybe for the erp I might get a spare...I found in this hobby spare parts rule..lol....I guess if I take a sledge hammer to it the wouldnt miss the rod and piston..lol

ehroof

lol, trying to find out about the go .21 replacements now.

firebird78

you can always hook me up with a 7 port for 40% off I wont mind...lol...j/k..I know you cant do that

ehroof

lol, we dont have that, we do have the sh.21

firebird78

so your saying even not having the rod and piston I can still use the erp?....how much would that engine be total if I did use the erp?

ehroof

i have to find retail for the .21, then i will let you know.

firebird78

ok..my new engine came today...got it pretty much all ready to drop in my buggy...I got some more wrenching to do ..have yet to put on my center cv shafts and rear cv shafts...going to clean it up really good and do that...might change the weight of the shock oil while im tinkering on it...
I did win a GO .28 3 port on ebay today...brand new $68 shipped priority....not sure if I need it yet but will be nice having a spare engine... I also won a jr z590 steering servo and a jr z270 throttle servo last night...got em both for $17 and some change shipped...brand new...did pretty good on ebay this past couple days[>:]

Redharris

EBAY Rules!!!!

LOL!

firebird78

hey Eddie??...ya figure out how much a sh .21 would be with the erp??..just curious....and I can still use the erp without the piston and rod??..lol

ehroof

sure bro, the retail is $99.99 so it would be 60% of that (59.99). not a bad price, you would have to pay for the shipping (9.99)

firebird78

when will clear bodies be available for the rxb-1?

ehroof

i will drop and email to hong kong and find out

firebird78

another mission for u Eddie ( we know you got nothing but time..jk)...could you find out how thick the billet aluim shock towers are?...im intrested in a set...im thinking this, titanium balls and aluim rear carriers and i'll be set up pretty nice...may go for the carbon fiber front plate and servo tray also....I have done a lil research and just in case anyone is curious the rxb-1 is right on par weight wise with some of the higher end rtr buggies...nice lil tidbit to know

ehroof

thanks bro, i was just running out of stuff to do, lol.....

I will try to find out asap.

firebird78

look what came in the mail today....new radio installed and got it all set up...brakes even work better now...lol

firebird78

also I'm thinking of going with a bump box on my rxb-1...I already have the backplate...just dont know if I have to get different engine mounts or what....any help would be appreciated

vnmsgt

Just check how close you flywheel is to the bottom of the chassis. On the RXT-1 you can use the bump box without even removing the pullstart!! That is what I am doing. Works perfect.

firebird78

thanks Chris....mine is really close to the bottom of the chassis (almost flush)....so I'm guessing I can do the same

ehroof

you can use a bump box on it randy, the sh engines sometimes give you a hard time, they sit higher with the spacers, check out the himoto box bro, b7016, its a nice box, i love it.
