Timing or dimensions?

Timing numbers, just curious if the only difference is the DLC between the two engines.

Don't believe I've got numbers on the OS crank, but I'm guessing high timed as always.

AMR wrote it has timing like b2101. B2102 is not timed the same as a b2101. I have messuered both 2101 and 2102.

Has anyone purchased the bonito engine from eBay seller in italy? They have it for $180 shipped.

I looked at them a few weeks back, and the engines weren't brand new engines, so i didn't even bother.. they had some new ones listed but they had Shipping attached to them..

if that has changed then nice..

Go check out what Absolute Hobbies has, they have really good prices. I usually get my On-road motors from them, but the offroad prices are nice too.

Guys,

My pamola engine is crazy fast.

I bored out the 7mm carb to 7.5 and removed the copper shim under the head and using nova plug 6 ( same one that came with it). 9886/41001.
​​​​​​It is absolutely insane of a motor.

I have mp9 and switched the clutch Bel to 14 tooth using 30% Byron and it has crazy amount of high end and tons of low end.
​​​​​​Really really impressive motor for $169.

Yes I saw the one that was reconditioned but they also have new ones for $180.

Also, on the listing it says .21-7XLB/A and in the picture on the head it says .21-7XL

Anyone know if they are different? https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...392299291b.png

.21 Off-Road


I usually try and buy from the Hobby Shops themselves, but you cannot compare the prices here. Unfortunately they want gold for shipping. So take that into account as well. If at the end of the day let's say it is a $20 difference or around in comparison to the hobby shop, I'll buy from the hobby shop in order to give them business.

There is no difference, the A signifies that’s it all steel bearings..
