Got some Maxy Cinco engines on the way!

Ran the Trackstar/Alturn engine in a truggy today, man these are impressive engines for the $, no problem powering a truggy.

For the app I think some basic engine dimensions would be good. BorexStroke, Crank pin, Rear Bearing size, etc. Stock Head clearance. I'd pay $1. :-)

do you just push out the brass part and put the bearing in?

This is not a criticism so please don't bash me for spewing my own inner thoughts out loud.

I would be really surprised if the bearing holds up for long. It's got to take an awful lot of punishment. I really hope it does though, something like that could be a real game changer.

Then again, if it's cheap enough and easy to replace, hell just get it to last a full day of racing. If it can last for 2 hours of running and only costs $5 and a few minutes to replace, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

It would be like changing clutch bearings internally. Lol

That's exactly what I was thinking about half way through writing my post.

The first attempt with these bearings (there are 2 in there) was not good, it did not last long. There is alot of force there and the only bearings I could find are just $1 ones. I did take the seals off for fuel to get in there. I had to turn down the crank pin to 4mm, of course I stroked it a little Then bored out the rod. If I could find something that would work it would be awesome as you could take a worn crank and rod and make it new again. It did seem to rev better.

Latest project, machining blocks for Buku caps. I am also going to sell the caps, I am looking at about $15.00 to machine the block if sent bare or can be combined with a rebuild for $10.00.

I am also modifying clutch's for the Buku caps if they are a recessed that will rub on the cap.

I will not be able to service/ mod any engines from July 24-30th.
