Oh How Original Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Very much looking forward to seeing this running now Paul. I'd be very very surprised if you could genuinely compare this engine to a 57cc twin jobbie... I think Sean will shoot himself in the foot by saying that if someone is considering buying a twin. How much was the methanol engine Paul, if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be this one dude? http://www.oneillbrothers.com/rc-car/engines/full-mod-engines/6283-obr-methanol-gas-nitrous-oxide-full-mod-29-5cc-reed-case-engine.html Also I am actually looking forward to knowing if it actually sounds different to a petrol engine. I am doubtful but it would be fun it if did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 How much was the methanol engine Paul, if you don't mind me asking? due to the old engine ripping itself apart i got a small deal out of it. the one inferno linked to is different to the one i have, that is a reed case engine. i paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I thought you might do with the condition the old engine ended up in. I hope you get many more tanks out of this one before anything catastrophic happens (although hopefully it won't at all) When are you planning on getting it run fella?

Thunderwolf Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 been told that the old pipe will be sand blasted tomorrow ready for painting on wednesday. assuming i get it back friday she will be ready to run on saturday, assuming i get the methanol and oil before then.

Thunderwolf Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 5 litres of methanol turned up today. did some searching online about whether or not the castrol a747 oil will mix with methanol and got mixed results. well i have since done a small test and found that it simply does not mix at all so i have order some silkolene pro kr2 oil. my exhaust has now been painted and posted back to me today, hopefully i ordered the oil early enough and the both turn up tomorrow and i can fire her up on saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 So based on what you have received today are you going to manage to get it started? I am actually really excited to hear about what it's like vs petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) today my oil turned up and so did my exhaust. when i first got the exhaust (cpi big bore) it was in abit of a state: putting this on after having a nice chrome dom (traded the dom for this) is a no no, i know i abuse this car but i do have some standards, so i sent it to a member on here (walters) afew days ago and he was happy to sand blast the crap off and powdercoat it for me. i was going to have it blue as something different but the 2 shades i had the option of just wouldn't work, which left me black or silver, black is boring so silver it was and i got this back today:[img=]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l189/dalek_emperor/my%20RCs/HPI%20Baja/DSC08166.jpg granted its not 100% smooth all over but its an old pipe, main thing is its not black and not rust red in colour, in total it cost Edited August 2, 2013 by Thunderwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
