is the solo motor a 23cc or 26? im not very familiar with fg onroads.

 

[kryptonite5b]

wow. you werent kidding when you said "beast" looks scary with that role bar. it is an fg as stated. probly a 23cc. is that set up with the old mono front shock or is it just missing one

 

[Timmahh]

that would be missing a shock, the mono shocks were in the bulkhead area.

the motor is 23, i don't believe solo made anything but....

 

[IMADMAN]

Yup! Older sportsline "Short" chassis- Commonly found w/Porsche bodies.

 

[wolfcalibur]

awsome thanks for the info guys. i picked her up for just under $300.

 

[wolfcalibur]

anyone know of a good online store for fg stuff?

 

[Clubin]

Innovative or Dave's you'll be able to find everything you need.

It's missing a shock, my MacF1 has the mono front end and it's different. I'd say that's a 23cc too.

I use Hobbytek in Germany for a lot of parts, they seem to have everything and always in stock.

Used to have 1 of these as my first 1/5 but sold it asap,cos it was so hard to get it to handle and brought a long weel base comp instead, you are right in saying it is a short wheel base fg sport line..

 

[IMADMAN]

Not sure if that's a Solo 23cc eng. kinda hard to see in the pics. It looks like a Zenoah G2D? The model right before the G230RC?

 

[Timmahh]

ya that may be on older G2D. like you said, is hard to see the label on the pull starter, but that don't always mean anything as the cy and zen pull starters are swapable.

 

[wolfcalibur]

maybe this will help.

 

[Timmahh]

well the PS is from a Zen G2D. take a look at the cylinder where it mounts to the case, there should be 2 numbers. you ll likely see it say 28-32 (28mm stroke - 32mm piston) thus a 23cc Zenoah.

Got that from Roger huh?

 

[wolfcalibur]

yes i did

For FG parts try Advance Hobbies in Toronto. The prices are pretty good and will save you on duty and tax fees. My friend is also starting a on-line shop locally and will be distributing DDM stuff on the Canadian side for us.

Ok well its ready to rock, minus the body that i have on order. I spent quite some time cleaning and replacing parts and what not. i found some shocks for the front that work great, just need to get some matching springs. I replaced the top arms, made a battery tray out of poly carbonate and also set up the front disks, they have tons of gripping power now. only thing i haven't replaced do to lack of time on my hands is the alloy bulkheads, they're next in line.

Now i have to wait till its nice out to test this puppy .

 

[SELWA]

Very nice job!

If it's a shorter wheelbase then you have a few bodies to choose from. If you like the car once you test it out and what the other longer bodies you can always get a longer chassis to do this.

What's the wheelbase on it? 465mm? If so there's only 2 FG prosche bodies that will fit. 911 GT3-RS #5160 $273 OR GT2 #5154 $264 (these were Advances prices in Canadian funds)
