Default Re: Stocking a Shop with Engines

My first suggestion is internal engine parts, like conrods, wrist pin, piston and sleeve set for the engine lines you are planning to stock!

From what I can see right now, Conrod is an hard to get item and when you come across one they are usually pretty pricy

Just my $0.02

Alright, so we're about to order all of our nitro supplies for our little hobby shop here in San Diego. I have a decent handle on the nitro scene but have not really been racing during the past year due to my various obligations. So, I'm going to ask for a bit of help.

I'd like to stock a reasonably full line of engines (and accessories) from drop-in monster truck horsepower upgrades on up to full blown .21 racing engines. Obviously with it being a new business, I don't want to buy the farm just yet, but I want to have a decent selection that will satisfy most everybody.

Anybody have any recommendations for stuff to carry? I will probably start with a full basic line from somebody like O.S. (or something else that is popular here in the US that people recognize), and then start adding other stuff based on what is popular.

Any and all feedback is appreciated.
