RC - HPI Savage .21
Engine - Ofna Hyper .21 8 port
I decided to pull out the RC's after being mothballed for a few years. Figured I could pick up some fuel, charge the batteries and I'd be set. Tried turning over the engine and it barely turns over. Apparently when I stored my Savage I either forgot to run her bone dry or never added any after run oil. Ended up pulling the engine and it was just caked in nitro gunk. I managed to get everything dissembled and its sitting in a small bucket of denatured alcohol.
There is some wear on the rod and piston that has me a little concerned. I have been trying to source parts but it seems this engine has been discontinued. I figured I'll clean it up as best as I can and reassemble it and hopefully it will still run.
Either way I'm still interested to here some suggestions. Nothing super fancy. This is just a rig used for bashing.
Oh yeah...if someone happens to have or know someone who has a gently used Hyper .21 laying around I might be interested in purchasing it.
