Bigjimknickers Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I say yes. Depends how old the engine is was it new or second hand when installed. If it was new, it's a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 apparently had about a gallon of fuel put through it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 and yes the engine was new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ide buy it if I was able to collect the engine sounds great if it's that fresh even better but it's not nitro so it isn't that much of a big deal anyway is it? New piston ring new compression? Or do these engines suffer some nitro ills too. I hope a bad engine is easy to sort out cos I have an untested zen26 but I trust the seller so think it'll be alright time will tell. But at 280 I think that's bang on the money too many kms with hpi price tags around ebay I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 well its way too far for me to collect so id have to arrange a courier but im asking for a video fo it being started and running which should be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean-vrs Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The engine looks older than 1 gallon imo prob need a rebuild This is useless advise.. looks like a great buy mate, if it runs and drives I'm sure you will be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Apparantly the engine was installed around 2 years ago am since then it's had about a gallon through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'd ideally want to view a second hand petrol car as its very easy to be disappointed, a car that looks good in pics can be a real dog in real life. I'd want a video of it starting & running if I couldn't, but I'd also be aware its a real risk. But the price looks very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah I'm definitely not buying it until I've seen a video of it starting and running and even then I'll have to work out postage costs if they turn out to be too high I may have to let it go as it's not worth it for me then.
