pharoah Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I've been wanting one of these for a while,and finally found one. I had to but parts and a box from one *bayer and the engine itself from another. Now the only parts I don't have are the Hilborn manifold and the injector tubes. This even has the optional motorizng kit! It runs! I had to make a new push button and battery holder. Not pretty,but it works. It's hard to see in the pictures,but the impellers in the blower rotate and there's 2 pistons on the front of the engine that move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 These are really neat kits. I never noticed the transparent blower housing an engine block insert 'til now, even after viewing the review topic multiple times. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64395&hl=%2Bcustomizing+%2Bengine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbwelda Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 the problem with the pistons I think is that they are both connected to the same lobe of the crankshaft! pharaoh, if you still need those hilborn injectors I might have a spare set, send me a PM and lets talk jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoah Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks William,but I'm going to leave it like it is for now. Yes,the 2 pistons are connected to the same part on the crankshaft. It works OK. I think I stripped a gear or it's out of line. The motor turns,but nothing else does. And I'm not taking it apart again...
