Default Thanks For the 7.5 K&B Inboard Help...

I want to say thanks for the help with my K&B issues. I got this in a trade and the guy said it had only 2 tanks through it????? Yea what the F ever. When I was trying to get this running today I knew something up. So I just got through taking engine off and notice that the bearings were shot, took the head of and wow, it looks aweful. The head, piston, and sleeve are toast. This thing needs a complete overhaul!!! Should I rebuild or get a new motor?? What would a good replacement?
Well atleast the boat is in pretty nice shape.



Thanks Again

Like I said on your other post, if you want that Sprint Cat to really scream, a Picco or CMB 45 will do the trick.

Picco's and Rossi .45's are making a comeback! The Picco's are already in Oz and there's a dealer in the US that has a small pile of them.
If you need the info I'll try to dig it up for you.

If you do not mind that would be great!....I have been in rc for a while now but I am fairly new to rc boats I have a Miss Vegas and a Brushless SV27. I thought I got a good deal in this 36 inch sprint cat.... looks can kill sometimes I guess. It was a let down, I was ready to get it in the water!!!

Thanks
