I'm just running one in for a customer at present.
In the normal GO tradition they are TIGHT!!
Lots of heating and sensible run-in required, but that's just the norm.
Keen to hear your thoughts when you have had a good look and a tinker.

The new Champion engine, will the internals from a GX5-R fit into its crank case, was thinking that if the Champion is a newer design & better crank case then would installing the internals from my modded GX5-R make a better engine than it is with the GX5-R
crank case.
My engine has had timing changes so would that cause any problems with the new crank case, & not sure if my engines crank case has been modded though so would have to check with Mark from NAA, was just interested because I found a place here advertising the Champion with 2013 pipe & clutch kit for $279 (AU).

So i picked up 2 GX7Rs today. One with a Jammin pipe, the other with a Caster pipe. Both have new front bearings and conrods done. TONS of pinch left. Got them with a Caster ZX1.5r pro kit roller and a rather large grocery bag full of spare parts including at least half a dozen sets of shocks. 4-5 sets of different springs 5-6 sets of a-arms, rear hubs, front steering blocks, servo savers etc etc etc. Probably almost everything to build another buggy minus the chassis. Got everything for $200. Im fairly happy. Havent made it home yet to look through everything but ive seen some of what i have at the lhs and if i paid full price for everything i got today id be into thousands. Smokin deal i couldnt say no to. Just the motors alone ive seen for $300+ and these have the bearings and conrods done already.
Im a happy guy today lol

A shorter manifold normally helps with more mid/top end power, atleast it does on the REDS engine with 2104 pipe & XS (extra small) manifold, although the XS manifold doesn't look that much smaller than the manifold I have with my 2072.
