Get your post count up so you can post photos, or use an image hosting site like Postimg to link the photos. I forget the model numbers of the various OFNA boxes, but I have one that’s all wired...

Considering this thread is 17 years old, you likely won’t get a response. If these parts are still available, a google search should help. If parts are NLA, then eBay is your friend,...

I don’t think there is much of a difference between the transmissions other than capability. Personally, I’d find a 2spd transmission without reverse. The reverse just adds weight. You might...

If more power is what you’re after, I’d suggest doing some testing with your fuel, glow plug, and prop. Adding nitro, reducing prop load, and cooling the plug down will usually net more power, to a...

A fuel pump isn’t going to increase top end power. It might even things out from full tank to empty, but that’s about it. If you need a boost in top end power, dump the Saito and get a YS.

I would entertain trying RCBearings.com instead. I’ve never had an issue with their bearings, and they’re usually cheaper than Boca (Boca and OS to hand in hand for being overpriced IMHO).

The Force .28 is made by a different manufacturer. In a nutshell, no, you can’t put just any old .28 P/L into your engine. The Force engines are not that great, and hardly worth rebuilding. I...

I wouldn’t bother with finding parts for the old OS. If they can even be found, they’ll cost more than the engine is worth. Quite honestly, I would look for a Novarossi or Picco .12 or .15. ...
