9 tank old Sirio .18!!!

[t to the maxx2]

9 tank old Sirio .18!!!
As you can see, it is in pristine condition, these pics don't do it justice. It was broken in using the heat cycle method used by the hardcore racers and bashers alike. This engine has had 9 tanks through it, so it is still very rich and could stand a few more slow-medium speed runs to break it in fully.
I am asking 175 shipped.

Will it fit in a revo?

[t to the maxx2]

I beleive it needs a new clutchbell, motor mount, and header.
I beleive this is it

It might need more, but I do not know, and won't be held responsible if it won't fit.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

u want to sell that for 175 and it still needs a 45 dollar part.... good luck

[Traxxas_Junkee]

my advice would be to get the part and then up the price a little bit

[t to the maxx2]

It only needs the part for a revo. It is ready to drop into a tmaxx or other .15 style truck or car.
Thanks for the critism Traxxas....

[Ponch]

No thanks TTTM....That's too expensive for a 'want' for my truck.

[t to the maxx2]

Alright, still for sale
You can make me an offer, I may bite.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

sorry wasnt trying to be rude, i was just like woah, hes trying sell a motor for that much and it still needs parts, sorry didnt mean to offend u

[RobH]

That price is a little high for that motor anyway. I seen a couple go for $100 on UE. I was about to buy one but I have 2 motors already anyway

[t to the maxx2]

I don't need to sell right away. Its a nice showpiece sitting here as a paperweight until I find a buyer. Im not selling for 100, no way in hell.

Tower has the Sirio 18 new in stock for $199.00. The Sirio 18 has been discontinued in favor of the Sirio 23 which is also available for $260.00 for the Revo. If want to sell this your going to have to drop your price under $125.00 in my opinion.

My $.02.

why is the header all brown and like burnt on the outside lol

[t to the maxx2]

I don't know, must be the exhaust?

[cemeb4dk]

Head all scratched up to,

[t to the maxx2]

The is definately not scratched up. There is 1 are with a little bit of ascratch on it.
Ill take a better pic of it

[Michowski]

why is the header so discolored? My headers dont usually get that discolored till about after a half gallon or so.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

thats a pretty big scratch on the head dude, didnt see it until cemeb4dk said somethin

[t to the maxx2]

IDk, it could be becuase it was broken in pretty rich, but to be honest, I don't know.
I was told he did an 8 tank heat cycle method, and I did the 9th.

The way I break in my engine and the Sirio was 1/2
tank idle. Then shut down to let cool. Then start up
again and driving it at 1/4 throttle while varying the
rpm. Then I shut the engine down and let it cool. The
second tank, I also did 1/4 throttle while varying the
rpm. I did this 1/4 throttle for 2 more tanks with
cool downs after each tank. Then 5th tank 1/2 throttle
while varying the rpm. Did this for 2 more tanks. Now
onto the 8th tank, is full throttle but still at rich
setting and varying the rpm. Did this for 2 tanks.
Then that's it. I haven't had the chance to lean it
out. I would recommend you do at least 2 more tanks
from where I left it. Although you could lean it out
when you get it.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Yep... it is definitely scuffed up a bit on that side. And you are not the first owner?? The header itself looks like it has a LOT more than 8 tanks on it. If that was only run on this motor I think something is shady...

[MaxxGS]

Yep that pic definately shows the scratches on the head.

I beleive it needs a new clutchbell, motor mount, and header.

It might need more, but I do not know, and won't be held responsible if it won't fit.

This is the engine mount for .23 and not .18. And yes there is definately scratched (I can see it with one eye close). The header it is normal for a used Sirio .18 engine. Your asking price is too high, if you really want to sell it you might need to reconsider.

What is the best price? Check ebay... They normally not more than $130.

[Tex]

I sold a Sirio .18 with brand new piston/sleeve/rod for $100, basically a brand new motor for $100.

We are not trying to break you down or make fun of you. We are trying to help you so you sell the motor faster.

One plus you do have that would bump the price up is the pullstart, motor mount, CB, clutch, flywheel. That's like $45 by itself. So if you take $45 off $175 you have $130.

I would try to fetch $140 for that and settle on $120 IMO, but it's your motor so do what you please.

Oh and the header looks normal for about 10 tanks of fuel depending on fuel spillage, header leaks, etc...

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

And to add what Tex said, not being mean, just constructive, don't use words like 'pristine' unless it's "as new" condition. It's misleading. And your listing words it as if you are the original owner and you did the break-in. Keep it honest and real. It's used. Be accurate with it and you'll find a happy buyer willing to pay a fair price. In the end everyone feels good about it with no hassles.
