More pictures about the mounting of the engines to follw!

Lookin good, I am beginning to wonder if two O.S. .30's would even fit....the cooling heads are so large on the O.S. :0

Pictures of the diff-mod and the servomounts to follow soonest!!

Looking good bart, but next time you cut a crankshaft I would suggest using a plastic bag with just the snout of the crank sticking out. In the third pic down, above, there is metal shavings all over the fuel inlet.

When you look closely at that 3rd picture, you can see some white tissue sticking out of it: I closed off the fuel inlet by putting some tissue into the nipple.....

I see it now, lol. A noob might not think of that, and just start cutting, that is why we always suggest the plastic bag method.

Keep up the good work!

Although I still am a n00b, I figured that one out myselve....

But I schould have thought about a plastic bag, would be even easier! Thanx for the tip, I'll use that one next time I've to cut at an engine...

Today I did the spider-diff mod, replaced the original diff-gears with HPI Savage 4-bevel gear conversion set:

Next are the servo-mounts (when arrived), and the fitting of the boat pipes....

Hey make some notes, you may be didn't cut the crankshaft and put a bell guide, and 30wt silicone oil at diffs?? which is the difference between hpi 4-bevel gears and kyosho's 4-bevel gears??

What do you mean? I don't understand what you are trying to say here...

Anyway GS Racing 30WT oil is equal to the oil some some other brands call 3.00WT and other brands 30.000WT. I donot know which brand has the right indication of viscosity of the oil. I use the same oil in the diffs of my Hong Nor/OFNA X1-CRT Truggy, with good results..

The price!! The HPI 4-bevel gear set is 13 euro, the Kyosho set is 20 euro. Both are hardend, so the difference is the price...
