iv had a look into it, and it is made by that 'techwell' company, but im sure it should be ok if they make them for mega? its the one that they put onto them ready built serpent 710, 720's. hah, yeah il go easy on it until i can afford a proper motor.

The carburator is the same as STS so I do think it is a STS engine

The engine is made by techwell model R12103T, just a different cooling head. The engine is very reliable in tuning and will last a long time. Its a entry-level engine, do not expect high performance with that engine. Have you bought the power pack or just the engine? If not, definitely try the orion pipe! Gives a very good performance to this engine. Improve your driving and when ready for more power, just buy a red dot 3 or mega zx12!

ahh ok, yeah i found out that its made by techwell, and also found that its not that powerfull, yeah im gonna take it to the local track and practice with it, get my racing lines spot on, then yeah il get a novarossi, or zx-12 yeah. can i also change the head button to fit normal plugs, as its a silly turbo head, which i dont know how it makes and difference to performance??? :confused:, thanks for the reply.
