rcrallyuk Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hey guys. My engine has just died. It's slit in half. So I'm needing to get a new one. It was a hpi wr8 g3.0. I. Have looked online and I could get away with just the crankcase. Does anyone know what I need to look out for to see if I can pick up another brand. And if anyone has a spare engine that would fit. Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanp Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) i dunno if another brand can bolt right in, if you try force engines there basically the same manufacturer here its the same engine http://www.modelsport.co.uk/force-.18-car-abc-side-ex.-pull-start-engine-sg-shaft-e1802/rc-car-products/370464 its also slightly cheaper Edited September 11, 2014 by jordanp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrallyuk Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 That looks not bad. I have seen the crankcase for the 3.0 so i might be able to get away with that. Its split just under the head so i can use that and i just hope there has not been any damage on the Piston. It gives me a chance to shave a bit off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
