Damn you Doug! I had an ESP motor build sitting in my cart at DDM, and now I'm thinking I should just get that OBR long block. Probably won't happen until this fall though, so hopefully I'll have plenty of time to convince the Accountant to not divorce my ass over it!

Seriously though, that's a real nice looking build! It's unfortunate your parts didn't all fit, but it looks like you're sorted anyway. Can't wait to see you rip of some turf with that bad boy!

Hey Z thanx?? it's all looking petty shiny all brand new and all? as for frankie concentrate on getting it running first??? got a feeling you'll still have a few hurdles to clear there and you can always change the crank color later??

Yes it was like a jigsaw puzzle ? had to have every loose (bolts in 3/4) and then go round and tighten up?? I'd have to say that the losi is a hell of a lot easier to work on ????

Buying an OBR long block is the most cost effective way to get a modded motor??? or buying any block like a zen, as long as you have an older motor to strip for parts you smiling ?? . And at the end of the day buy original parts for your next build and you'll have an overall better build??

Yeah, wasn't gonna go the route of a full engine, considering every important piece on my current one is aftermarket. Thinking about going with this: http://www.davesmotors.com/Zenoah-Complete-G340RC-34cc-Upgrade-Kit-for-G320RC-race-ported.html and building it from the bottom up. Not quite as fancy as Z's monster build, but it should be a fun project.

Yeah the only reason I said that was cuz I had the case split with no bearings at the time I sent it, would have been so easy. Probably should have ?‍♂️
