Largescalerc 30.5 stroker motor

[Skrimshaw]

The website shows CAT5 - 30.5cc Race Ported "Stroker" Motor Zenoah Head. The guys on the phone are awesome and a huge help. Wondering if anyone has tried this, is it worth the $180 over a stock g290? I know the 5ive needs some more power, just don't know which way to go with the engine.

I went with this engine from OBR: http://www.oneillbrothers.com/rc-ca...ull-mod-zenoah-30-5cc-4-bolt-losi-engine.html
I didn't like the idea of a hybrid and with no reviews anywhere about the engine made me more skeptical. I was afraid of how to do a rebuild down the road.

I just ordered the same engine (#6274 30.5cc) today from OBR with a silenced pipe. How do you like it? Did you have to upgrade other parts for the power? What gears?

Ordered it yesterday. I was reading, and found stick with the stock gearing until the engine is broken in. You can see how it performs and what you need to tweet it for your conditions.

Good luck if you have any problems! There service runs something like this: It's your fault deal with it.
It is a good looking motor and the price is a good as I have seen from them.
I hope it serves you well.
