[mechplas]

Orchard Towers?? ahh... that's near... :-)

let me work out the cost. see which is most cost effective...

Winnie got OS 18TM?

If you go to Ochard Towers, you will never find the shop because the shop is at Orchard Plaza .

Oops......the place where there's many char bohs offering massage. Think it's a more accurate description.

been there... no stock...
they have to check stock availability from SHS

she normally checks with SHS or Toykar. But bear in mind though, from what i have realised all this while, althought she gets from them, she sells cheaper than the other 2 shops at retail. ok, at least to me, she does sell it cheaper.

no reply from her ley... although she say call me back on Monday....

Using the price of a 50SxH I got from rotor as a guide.....
It shows getting from tower is so much more expensive than in SG....

So what's outstanding? Just the heatsink? Or are you looking for the whole engine?

[nic]

nobody carries the spares here....

so i either import the spares..
or purchase a new engine...

i tried to look for a new engine locally... no one has Tmax manifold (tried OFNA, OS)... only rotor has Traxxas 2.5R... which I refuse to get another.

Winnie has stock on order... but she doesn't know what's the price and when stock arrive. She suppose to call me back yesterday.

How about just getting the heatsink from Towers? Or a new engine is wat you are actually looking for?

$80 for the carb and heat sink.....

or $350 for a new engine...

The carb can't be saved with the RV sealant?

[fuse]

350 for new engine is normal la.

nowadays 12 size normal engine all abt that price.

can....

but with my repairing skill....

Hahahahaha....not that difficult lah. If you've dealt with helis, surface rc shouldn't be any problem. The key word is 'less is best' here. Just apply a bit of high temp RV sealant around the tip of the screw (thread area only) and slowly screw it in. This way, any extra sealant will be pushed out instead of being pushed in.

Seriously, the damage doesn't look that bad.

hehe...

my engine is also choke somewhere..... that's why I strip it and broke it.....

I can prime the fuel in... but fuel doesn't want to fire, and fuel doesn't seem to reach the piston... (the engine didn't get flooded no matter how I prime it..... but EZstart seem to slow to a crawl then stop as if there is fuel lock...)

Never had all these problems with my OS.... that is also why I am hesistating to get the cooling tower... I fear I buy the spares I still can't resolve this prob...

yet a new engine just cost too much...

Dilemma...
