BK67 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I bough an hobao ss .28 last year ran it in properly but could'nt tune it tried everything sealed it but still wouldnt tune in the end it just would just rev its head off,i gave up in the end my son has a kyosho ke .21 engine runs superb easy to start and idle's perfectly and he loves it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the little Kyosho .12 engine in one and they are bullet proof!! Step dad wants to find a cheap enough .15 one to drop in there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
