:ugh:

Saw this on the grid.

10 gallons, new rod at 5 gallons, hasn't been pinched yet.

[rocco79]

wow... 10 huh?

[Obsessive R/C]

sweeet deal...huh?

[Ponch]

Ehh whatever.... I figure I'll get another 4-5 outta it and mabye get it pinched, mabye by then get a new motor.

[cemeb4dk]

4 to 5 more??????????????????
Not unheard of but good luck, that connecting rod wont last that long.

What did you pay for it if we can ask?

[Obsessive R/C]

Hope you got a deal...(not bashing it or anything) sounds like you won't get alot more out of it...jmo. Although I've never kept an engine that long to see what happens after 10+ gallons of fuel...maybe I'm wrong.

[rocco79]

(Heres where czech chimes in and tells us about the 54 gallons he has on his rb.....)

[cemeb4dk]

lol was thinking the same thing.

I think Mike actually put his RB in his mini van and drove it to the track one day, and believe it or not, he said it actually had more pinch afterwards, afterall it is an RB

[rocco79]

LMFAO!!!!!!!

chit that was funny...

[Ponch]

(Hope I don't get too much chit for this) $120. I figured the pipe was worth about $40 so $80 for a motor ain't bad...At least in my mind.

[cemeb4dk]

didnt joe just sell a new rb for like 160 (3 port)? MOre than enough engine for you IMHO

Wow... I hope everything works out for you.

[rocco79]

So..... when ya gettin a cb? ;o)

[Ponch]

Yeah I know....I got the money after that was sold though. Kicking myself for it now. But oh well hopefully it'll work well.

[rocco79]

G, 150.

[Ponch]

So..... when ya gettin a cb? ;o)

Umm...Well I have $3 right now:o: . I'm going to some Saint DeNada's carnival tommrow where they have those $.25 slots with the moving trays..Well yeah I made like $30 off one of those last year so hopefully my luck holds on lol.

Then I have to get some parts for my swaybars....

Hey, with a JP-1 on that WS7, should I still get a 13t or go 14t?

[cemeb4dk]

my bad even more painful...

If I can offer some friendly advice, I know you are new to the 1/8th scale world. You ask us for help on tuning, but wont ask if this is a good deal?

Man next time you want to drop $$ like that on a 10 gallon engine, ask first I bet most would have said stay away.

Shoot I would have given you a hyper 21 with an OS carb on it and would have giiven you a choice of pipes for like $60 bucks..... (thats if I knew you where looking)

But next time you are looking to throw your money away, call me I will just kick you in the nuts for $30 and save you $90 bucks. LOL

[rocco79]

A Thirteen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ponch]

That's allright...You live you learn...Oh well. Just gotta pray now that it runs, and runs well.

[Ponch]

Hey, quick question- He's not shipping till monday. Should I ask if I can just buy the pipe for $35 and get the money back from the motor? I just don't know if I'm going to be able to get a decent motor for $85.

[Ponch]

A Thirteen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:confused:

[Ponch]

Comon when I ask for help everybody shuts up? lol

[cemeb4dk]

I will give you a jp-1 and a hyper 21 with an os 20e carb on it. Has maybe a gallon tops, I can t really remember, either way its not alot of fuel threw it. Its a back up to a back up that I will never run. for $85 and that will leave you money for a CB.

[rocco79]

:confused:

a 13t bell man... Not 14 not 15... a 13

It's a back up for a back up? Wow you got some money to play with huh?

I'm not sure, I'll ask if I can just get a full refund and get back to you.

How powerful is that motor?
