I think it runs on FM only. I remember that the 3PM run the same HRS receiver (FM) as the 3PK while for the normal FM, it uses the R123F receiver. So I guess then that the R303FS is FM...

Looks good though except for the conrod. Like I mentioned, put the piston sleeve in the JP engine and turn the flywheel. Perhaps get a spare JP conrod to replace this one since it is wise to have a spare conrod anyways for the JP. Don't forget to get the circular clips too that locks the pin in the piston.

I'll have to clean the bearings - do you know what lube should be used with them?
I've got lots of those clips - serpent ones, but they should be universal, I would have thought.
try this!
Heres a idea sell the Serpent and get a Mugen ..............................What do you mean get a roap ? It was a joke I tell ya

Root cause found!
D, you assumption was correct, the crankshaft is bent! It wasn't really obvious to see at the end of the crankshaft, so I screwed an extra long m3 screw into the end and then span it again - then I could see a small but significant deflection!!! Man, that Mugen must have made a one in a million hit on my crankshaft I'll try cleaning the rest of the engine to make sure nothing else major is broken, then I'll get a new crankshaft - I've got a spare conrod already
Cheers, Mark.
Cheers, Mark.
Actually just used another method to confirm the wobble: placed the tip of the crankshaft against a spray can, so the was no gap between the crankshaft and the can - then watched to see if a gap appeared as I spun the crankshaft - sure enough I could see a gap "appear" then "disapear" during the rotation
See pics below and note how small the deflection is!

Guess what... I knocked the bent crankshaft back to "straighten" it out with a plastic hammer. No special tool though. Just by feel and instinct. Have not run or tested it out yet.
