My g-1 took a dump last night...I need a motor to hold me over till christmas. Nothing special, just a basic, even rtr motor. lmk.
check ebay......theyll have them super cheap
i guess i wont be getting a motor.......
Matt, instead of buying used motors and having them "dump" on you, why don't you just not race until you can use your 8ight and buy a OS VG.
+1 ue. if you buy a motor for next to nothing on ebay it will probably last till you start your first main and you hear the rod snap going down the back straight.
From your profile, you still have your k2? If you do, sell that and buy a NEW motor.
he cant not have a r/c to run till x-mas. and after cristmas im buying his k2

If I did that, I'd have to wait 45 days or so...with no r/c. I'm getting a VG for Christmas too....I just want something to hold me over until then
Welp, a coil from a glow plug went thru the motor. The sleeve is fine, but the piston has severe gouges in it. I am currently trying to fit a piston from my ws7 into the sleeve, it's too big right now so I'm sanding it with 1000 grit sandpaper to get it down to size. I figure if I get it right, it'll be like a new motor lol. Or it'll run like shit. IDK. Oh the pinch was gone on the motor too, I could push the piston 3/4 of the way out the top of the sleeve.

Holy Ghetto rigged $hit..... can't you ever just be patient and do things right??
I got nothin to lose dan, if it works hell yeah, if it doesn't oh well, i'm no worse off. both motors are shit so if I can make them into one ok motor then I'll be happy...
how the hell is it gonig to work???? the piston is gonig to be all scratched up
Yeah um...none really...took a break because my hands were pitch black
oh yeah, the piston skirt chipped so that idea is out. Thinking some more now lol, mabye gonna try a home-done pinch on the sleeve so I can sand the scratches out of the piston.
Oh hey, just noticed I broke 6k posts today lol, I offically have no life. :p:
hashahahahahahah get working
how are you gonig to give it a at home pinch?
I got a used 8 port SH PT2004 XB .21 off ebay for $41.01 shipped. It rips. So, it's possible to get a cheap motor that works....
I put almost a half gallon through it today without any problems...
Wanna sell it? I could pickup at the track tomorrow....
i got a couple old motors i could sell ya
I give up on the g-1, lol it's pointless.

I could have told you that. How could you have expected to thin out the piston and have it run at all anyway??
