Here's something.

 

[DougStar]

Yeah......you could. But if you just get your tune dialed in should only take 3-4 short pulls

It does start right up, Doug. It's just very tight and hurts like hell cuz the handle is tiny. I grabbed some gloves last time. This doesn't have the easy start.

don't worry... that KM motor will be out of compression in a few tanks, then u will have no problem pulling it

How ya figure?

 

[Seandonato73]

Thats normally what happens. Guys get a few tanks through them and they go boom, or loose compression. Name of the game. Few guys have had some luck with them. So most of us don't expect much life out of them.

I've had more than a few tanks through this one already and it's still real tight, but it wasn't you that called it a poop motor, it was rc junkie so I asked him how he figured that.

 

[Seandonato73]

He had one for a hot second, till it did what they do. I've had enough of the garbage apart to see what's gone wrong to make a very good assessment of them. Poor plating, poor casting, poor port placements. Bottom ends are hit and miss. Normally it's a top end issue. Rings are very brittle and have little spring to them. Squish band is normally extremely loose, I believe in an attempt to keep them from blowing up too soon. You can go through and clean them up, toss a good piston and ring in them, and hope for the best.
Why are my thoughts any less valid then junkies? He's an engine replacer, I'm not. Your very quick to make a snarky comment, when someone points out the flaws of buying sub par equipment. We've seen it before, well see it again. It's the same old story we get from everyone like you. I want a big toy but don't want to bank roll it. Welcome to the big sand box, where you do one of 3 things. Go back to 1/8 scale, upgrade your hunk of junk with quality parts, or scrap the pos and get a genuine product. I've been mostly quiet through this poop show, but I've about had enough of your crap attitude.

Don't buy an OBR engine if you can't handle a KM. KM's aren't high compression motors.
