RE: .12 carb exchange
I've never had to, or needed to. So no I can't answer it.
But since nobody else has yet, I wouldn't reccomend it. But best way to be sure is ask a pro.

Yes you can ,I put a OS.12 CVr carb on my Wasp .18 and it works fine, as long as the manifold and carb. bore are the same and of course the carb. is in good working order it should be just fine, RED

You can put an OS carb into an HPI engine. You can also swap carbs between nova based engines within the .12 and .15 engines. I am not sure about the .21 size.
