Buggy 3 port will be a dog timing is all wrong Imo

They don't buy many so if it's on BO your going to have a better chance to get one for sure

Confirmed it was a buggy 5 port.

No no matter how many ports a onroad motor has better timing.

It's not a 7 lb buggy it doesn't need that much tq

It was actually a 5 port buggy engine with a 6mm restricter but I thought it ran pretty well. It does not take much for these cars to get moving. We will run a true 3 port engine next year (not 3 + boost ports, whatever that is) but it might be buggy motor again.

If I have this right...your front end is basically aluminum. Oddly enough, so is mine, and Tom's will be too (with a redesign). Next year could get a little messy, aluminum vs. whatever they're making the other cars out of....lol.

Aluminum snaps plastic.....you have email...
check it.. In need of parts

Thanks to Hitcharide, I found myself working on a MRP Pro 180. It has to be at least 20 years since I last had one. First I had to round up some SAE tools, just a few as this has to have been the easiest R/C car ever to work on, so simple. I wonder how we could have gotten away from this simple joy to racing the very complex cars of today? I'd bet the same drivers would be winning any how, maybe we'd all be richer.

Dam it! It happened just that fast, in no time I'm flashing back to the evil side of the MRP. I was being careful, yet the clutch E-clip took off and hide. Rats! I hate those things! Well over the years I have developed a very keen eye for finding small things, plus I had just swept the floor. Armed with a super LED light (didn't have those back then), I figured that E-chip didn't have a chance. After 20 minutes on hands and knees, I give up. All I found was how bad of a job I did sweeping.

So I have all sorts of X-ray, WRC, Mugen, Ass., and Motonica clips laying around, I'll show that e-chip, I'll replace it with a new metric chip! Not so easy. Every little mm chip I have seems so big now!

Back in the day, it seemed as if once you gave up, the E-clip would show itself. So I'm pretending to have given up!

Are they 1/4 inch e-clips?

This chassis is for the C510, MRPīs first 1/8 car. Not for the Pro 180.
I have several of the old E-clips, just not sure which size is needed.
Have to look at my C510, maybe itīs the same.
