Ok the post that I made made me sound like I was drunk or high or something sorry. So...I found out that this is an associated engine but it came in parts with a partial 1/8 buggy that I picked up at a garage sale. Most of it is there and it also has a couple extra heads or heat sinks (whatever they're called) with it. Keep in mind I know absolutly nothing about nitro.
First question...is this a stock motor for the old kyosho 1/8 scales?
Second question...is the engine worth anything and if so approx. how much?
Thanks for the help and sorry about the "what the heck is he trying to say" post.

Whatever it is, it's not worth much if anything I'm afraid.

Yup, and AE hasn't been making engines for that long so it's not very vintage.
My AE RC10GT came with an O.S. engine (before AE made engines) and that engine isn't worth much of anything.

And I highly doubt Kyosho would use an AE engine in one of their vehicles..


EDIT- After a second look at that first pic, it looks like an AE .15 that someone mounted to a Tmaxx mount and set that on top of another mount to get the small block to line up to where a big block should be..?
