What can you say about fuel?
Our local racers say that Byron is the best.
But 20% or 30% nitro it's a difficult question...

OfnaDave on Ebay.

For $70 you get a new con-rod, carb, engine block, and bearings. The only difference between this motor and your current motor is the crank, sleave, shim under the sleave (if you have the tuned version), and the button. BUt all the parts are inter-changable.

Where does one by chance find these shims - parts numbers, and why is this done ?
