Still a great motor though, it will last longer than the std v spec, we are about done modding it.

Default So a comparison to a PTM Vspec

Hey Brian,
I've got a PTM modded Vspec w/ ceramic bearings. I replaced the crankshaft and conrod w/ the OS Speed versions. If I changed the cooling head to the new lightened one, would I have the equivalent of this new engine from OS? BTW mine rips in my RC8T and runs an easy 10 minutes of racing time.

I would save the money and buy the Std head and send it to me, all our modded v spec head's are milled, been doing it for some time now.

Default a little confused

OK, maybe I was unclear...I already have a PTM modded Vspec. I had it modded by you when you first went 'public', found you on Truggyracers.com. My head certainly isn't milled though??? My conrod was developing slop, so I replaced it and the crankshaft w/ the OS Speed versions.

So to your post, are you saying to send in this same engine again? Or are you saying to buy the regular Vspec (ie save money) and send it to you to get modded? Or are you saying something else entirely?

I do have another Vspec which is fairly new, 8 or so tanks before Motorama weekend, plus the running at Motorama. I was planning on having you mod it, but then money got a little tight, so I used it stock. I do have a ceramic rear bearing for it already, just planned on dropping it in after breaking it in. Can you still mod it after it's been broken in, or should I just wait til it needs a rebuild?

sorry bud i may have mis understood your post, i was under the impresion that you were wanting to buy a light weight head, and put it on the motor you have with the speed part's, yes this would basicly be the same engine then.

I was offering this, instead of buying the light weight head for what ever price it is, more than a non milled head i'm sure, just buy a standard blue head, and i will mill it for you free of charge since you have had engine's done by me before. You can send the newer os in also anytime. Also, i would check out our Race Plus Technology process, this will add alot of life to the std v spec, crank, rod, and tolerence is held much longer through the life of the engine. as for the other head, let me know, i would be glad to take care of it for you.
