I just received it from a guy here on rc-tech he told me that the engine was starting to become difficult to tune.
this would be the first pinch
does the crank from the mx5 work on the .21 5port +2 pro
I was thinking of changing the rod and crank...i would like to avoid changing the crank but everyhting else is new on this engine except the piston rod and sleeve..so I was planning on a pinch, new rod and crank (maybe). my total should be like 55$ bucks to revive this engine (without crank)
the rod does not have any play, so I can pinch it for 20 bucks and go from there...i guess...and buy a mx5 later.
I really wanna try this engine out when my vspec wears out and see if i like the go engines...
