Since the motor itself was just released recently, we've had very few parts requests, and most of those have come from previous GRP customers who want to bring back to life their old engine.

What do you need fikz? Someone on here may have one.

Roy, have you heard anything on the fuel??

Lockmouth, I've heard nothing on the fuel. I don't even ask anymore. Let's move on. We should probably change the name of the thread to just TQ Engines for now.

having run both standard and tuned ...i can say this motor lends itself more toward the tuned in several ways
1.knife edge crank
2.seperate head button
3. cuts on crank shaft
4.domed piston

Sorry I missed that. The crank bore is identical to the grp. The original. O. G. The mr ninja had a slightlt bigger crank bore. My friend matt who will be prepping this motor and just putting a few touches on it. Can probably get us an exact measurement on it. I will be handing off to him soon. I will see if he will get us some numbers

Don't let the putty filled crank steer you away from the engine. I have been testing a putty filled crank and when compared to stock I see almost no performance gain. Maybe a tick of throttle response(whitch is not measured on a dyno) but not enough for me to fill the next one I get. JMO

This one has about 3 gallon on it and just lost it's metal pinch last weekend. We are headed to the OS/Futaba Nitro Challenge tomorrow night I will post up how the engine runs this weekend. The 7hr drive is going to suck however! lol
