I agree with you on every single sentance you put. I don't want to talk about what moddifyers are telling to people-this is not my field.
Try and learn is always worth in my opinion. If you don't try you never learn.
I don't want to tell you what to do or teach you , I am just suggesting-never stop trying!!!!!
German Miscle didn't try to argue here and I never take it as argument. He just wanted to know, because what I sad was different from what he heard before-I don't see anything wrong with that. I tryed to expalne how we do balancing-then it is up to every racer to decide if he is taking it or not.

Ed, your the man

warmac, whats up man !

For anyone starting to do mods, here is a nice article step by step on a mod work to a .25 HPi engine, which is very ilustrtive and can help better understand the why's and what's of engine modding

still here mugenb46, just been under a lot of work pressure lately


Edward and Colt, you guys said it, if you don't try you wont get anywhere. Even if you fail, at least you would understand the process better.

Who knows, you might use that failure to devise a different method that may eventually work.

Warmac i feel your pain brother, well i got 2 novarossi m style motors today that i sold to a guy when i got rid of my old GT and i didn't mod them, i'm going to have some fun one is a mt12 with a threaded crank and the other is a sg MR12 i think, i'm going to leave the mt12 alone it is my indoor motor and i will mod the other for dirt oval, i will post pics when it is done. i miss my P5.21 that thing was a monster. talk at you all later.

looking forward to se those pics...good luck with the project

I wish they would continue this series. I would love an instruction article like this for the OS RG .21 and some of the other commomly used budget engines.

ed this is just for you, i have a COMO S .40 plane motor that i want to modify, i understand that plane motors run more for torque and not rpm. any tips on how to hop it up a little, and wow this crank sure looks a little different.

Hi Mugenb.
Not neccessarely planes motors are torque and not RPM. It is depend of aplication-for airbatic you realy want to torq and you don't want to engine start winding up, for Pilon racing-they want to have winding engine.
Please send me pics of our crank and sleeve, I might be able to suggest something by looking on the pics. You can post them here as well, I hope nobody will be affended by those pics . I am not familiar with COMO S 40 motor, will look on the net, may be can find some info on them. But pics defenetly will be helpfull.

No much info I can find on this engine, I just found is was made by Super Tigre long time ago. Usualy they were 2 ports design and they were very unoficient engines, but in the mean time they were work horses and one of the best on its time. So to suggest you something, I defenetly will need pics-I had only one engine Super Tigre G15 and it was in 1977, I berely remember that engine, I do remmeber I used for while on control line speed with side exhaust mounted tuned pipe, I don't remmebr where I get it from and what happened with that.

SORRY I'M not to good at posting pics yet. this is a itailan motor i don't know if thunder tiger is a itialan company. it is side exausti it has one boost port and two fuel ports and the exaust port. it is a old wore out motor but the guy just gave it to me and said here you can have it show me what kind if work you can do. i told him i do car motors but have never done a plane motor. he just wanted to see how steady of a hand i have. he has some customers that want some mod work done to their car motors. but i would like to mod this and make it run again to see how the mods work, he sells alot of planes out of his hobby shop. thanks for the info in advance.
