I have a collari 30 I could sell ya for 100.00. It has a few scratches on the head for a flipover but other than that it looks good. It has less than a half gallon on it (10 tanks of 20%).

All I can say is DO IT!! That motor is a monster and if there is nothing wrong other than some cosmetic scratches that is a great deal. Some small voice inside me is just saying that it wouldn't work too well in a revo.

The Force 26 sure is a tricky one to tune.

No Prob. I took it in on a trade and it's just sitting around. I have a froce in my SUT now and it's a great engine IMO.

Only way I found to get the Force 26 to run right is put two copper washers under the glow plug.

yeah it runs great if u tune it right

IMO force based motors are trash.....that's from other peoples horror stories and my experiences from seeing the horrors myself.

Have you been to the ofna board Matthew? It's an ofna motor and even they will tell you it sucks..... www.ofna.com

I would like to know why you think these motors are so good and who fed you that....lol

i liked my force .28? no probs with tuning and it had tons of power(not raceable though). In fact it ripped 4 tires in half in tony's 9.5, imo they are decent motors!

there is a hyper 8port with OS carb in the B/S/T section with under a half gallon on it for $80....and the collari .30 for $100 is a killer deal (I would shoot for the 8port myself)

The Force 26 has a huge issue with overheating. I talked about this with others on ofna.com, the only way we found to control it was with an extra washer under the glow plug. I suppose you could put extra shims under the head?

It runs pretty good once you control the temp issues.

i have a force 25 in my mbx and it seems to run fine....although ive only had about 2 gallons on it. the only problem im having now is that my carb is leaking out of the HSN i think its just the o-ring i hope

but otherwise it seems to go through clutchbells like water
