New engine
 

My OS 15 CVR stopped the other day when my 7 year old son flipped the buggy on its roof. Can I rebuild or do I have ot buy a new one? If I need new, where is the best place to buy (keep in mind I'm in Canada) and is used an option? Should I find a local club and see if one of the guys can rebuild it for me?

I do not know how it is getting things from the states but if this is not a problem Towers is a good source for parts. Depends what is wrong with the engine. If it needs a piston and sleeve you can by an OS .18 CVR for about $20 or $30 more then what the piston and sleeve cost.

Here is the web site

I know when I rode my motorcycle to Alaska last July the Canadian border guards gave me a real welcome. Made me take every thing of the bike and searched it all. They did not find anything cause I did not have anything. Other then that the Canadian people are very nice people.

i cant tell where u are in canada, but great hobbies is my number 1 rc shop. they sell online, or in person in either edmonton or pei. another good choice is hobby wholesale, they ship and u can buy in person in edmonton.

Hope that helps!!!

Thanks guys, i opened it today and the piston arm snapped off the cam(i guess). I need a new piston and sleeve.....

i dont think you should buy a new one yet either. when you flip the car over its easy for the engine to get starved of fuel. so see if itll still run first before you jump to conclusions.
