Well certainly a buncha guys on youtube with them so I guess your right. Maybe it had something to do with my platform? (Marder). Are you gonna go 4wd or 2wd?
 
Steve and DDM is freaking the best!... It's 10am here on the East Coast and he's already responded to my email. Steve your the man!..... Here is his reply....

"As noted in the description of the Zenoah 32cc engine they do not fit FG models. The crankcase is too big. It does not fit."


Soooo, that leaves the question. How are these youtube guys modding the cars to accommodate the 32cc?

obv grinding away/down bit/s to make it fit?Q dermel ?
 
Honestly though the 34cc for a race track is too much. They don't rev as high as say my 27.2 and the extra power is not needed. If you need more torque the 30.5cc will do you right and if you need more rpm lighten the flywheel and piston head.
 
You need to search 27.2cc or 30.5cc ect....

This should be great for 4wd

Im having a hard time understanding why a 32cc doesn't fit the fg chassis. I took a look at a g260 case vs a g320 case images only of course as I don't have a 26cc around. And if anything the 26cc case has more "meat" around it than the 32cc case. Can anyone shed some light on size comparison? Im not familiar with the fg chassis so im not sure what would need to be dremeled And having a oversized engine in a 26cc chassis has my name all over it.

My reed 34 case is definitely larger then my old 30.5 (same case as the zenoah 26cc and 29cc), it's apples to oranges though as the 30.5 was a non reed but you get the point. Hell a 30.5 clutch housing doesn't even fit a 32, so it's definitely bigger. Even with the 30.5 you would have to grind the case to get it to fit (well, that's what dougstar told me, I'm not FG inclined at all .
 
Thats a nice looking adapter doug. I was investigating more on the sportsline and I honestly thought we moved past belts in rc? I guess I won't know until I get the car and see if and how I can get the g320 in there
