awesome thanks, once I get the money I will be buying these, is this all I need to have it run correctly?
coupler for the header to pipe connection
you mean like the one that comes with the header, or is there a different one I need to buy?
this is what comes with the header:
INCLUDES: One Black manifold
One Exhaust gasket
One Yellow Exhaust Coupler
Two 30mm Allen head screws w/pre-applied thread lock
oops, sorry I didn't notice it came with the header. Yeah that's the one!
You will also need a glow starter since you won't be using the EZ starter anymore...
you mean cheezy start? LOL even when i had ez start i used a regular igniter too, it started the truck faster that way, i thought
I know I need a glow starter, I figured that out when looking at the engine.
I love my cheezy(EZ) start. Starts (almost) everytime & no missing skin between the webing of my fingers. That CVRX .18 is strong enough to haul the extra 3.8 oz. the ez start IMO. I shedded some weight by replacing the reverse with a foward only conversion, and replace the hinge pins And ball studs with Titanium ones. I also got rid of the stock gas tank & battery box.
is there a version of the engine that is setup for easy start, or do I have to buy a conversion kit, or convert it myself?
There is no cheesy start conversion for the CV-RX, a company used to make one but they went out of business. Your only options are pull start and bump start... there MIGHT be a tiger drive adapter for it (starting the motor with a drill)
The key to pullstarts is pre-heating the motor.
mikecooper Wrote:what is bump start?
starter box like what Squirrel (Tommy) was using for his buggy. You can't bump start a maxx.
ok thanks, guess I am stuck with pull start then
so you use pullstart? on the SM that is
I had that motor... I never had a problem with the PS.
mikecooper Wrote:so you use pullstart? on the SM that is
yup
NOT Worth the extra money. Go with the CVR-X. It is more than enough motor and at half the price. I had it and it was a great motor...

If thats worth $100+ to you, then yes.

but with my luck, I will cut it wrong, and it will be garbage then. The TM you don't need to cut at all.
here is the link of how to install the CVR-X into the t-maxx 2.5

All the stuff I would have to buy to get the other motor to work is at $147.25 plus the glow igniter.

I cut the shaft on my first CV-RX WAYYY to short, and it still worked fine.
I still say your better off with the cv-rx.
I just have the feeling I will ruin it, are you good at cutting them now Rob? if so, maybe I will have you do it, so i don't screw it up.
