Check over at Jims Boat Dock after it's back up and post a wanted add. Someone may have one they would sell.

Gizmos has a very good deal on a full modded 260 zenoah,its a good strong motor too and way cheaper than most ive seen.Be aware you will be stung for customs charges it cost me £25 on top of the £15 shipping .They also sell stock motors for $210 but out of stock at the moment.

Well you asked for info on stock zen 260 to modified but either way Gizmo has the 29 cc too, best price ive seen.
Nige is your 29 any faster then Gazs zen 7, 52 mph in the apache or Tonys gizmo 26 ?.I realise they have great power out of the hole so to speak but are they any faster on top end ?.

Yea Eddie said same thing a while back,brutal acceleration.I have a spare deck lying here m8,its red it has a cpl areas where the colour isnt as solid,think the pigment was a bit wishy washy at standard ratio so i had to double up on it on the others ive done since but if you want this deck let me know im sure i can do you a good deal on it ,its a nice solid one as the guy wanted a heavy layup.Send me a pm and ill see what i can do m8.
