Yea Olds I think that's how it was. The "X" was pull start, "R" was the higher performance compared to the regular blue head I think...been a long time ago lol
The CV I have is bump start and the carb doesn't feel just right. Wanting to put a pull start on it and swap out the carb. So yea, if...
Been awhile, glad to see everyone still here!
I'm looking for an old OS CV engine with pullstart for parts. I've got the blue head .15 that needs a few things. Looking for a complete engine, preferably wore out. I don't need a good running engine, just a complete one. Let me know if anyone has...
Got these in a lot buy out and have no use for them. They look to have never been used, only mounted. RC4WD wagon beadlock with the BFG Krawler T/A tires.
$85 plus shipping
Got it all together and run a few tanks through it. Engine performed better than expected so I'm pleased with that. Found nothing else that required replacement so that was good as well.
Now to find the time for a proper teardown, clean and rebuild.
Decided to go with the OS. It's a.15 engine, not a.12 as I originally thought. Now that's decided, time to start stripping it down and rebuilding it now that all parts are in and I know I have everything that's needed.
I haven't checked it out yet. I've had a few of these back in the day, stock engine could be run very rich and still have great performance. We'll see where I go with it I guess once I get the rest of my parts in that I've ordered for it. Thx
Thanks for the input everyone, I think I've decided to steal the Rossi from the NTC3. Or use the OS .12CV that's sitting out in the shop....lol Still undecided I suppose...
Thx guys!
Next will be some custom bumpers maybe....not sure which way I'll go with it next...lol
I do know I want a winch on it and maybe a roof rack
-NB
Decided to throw the stockers on there just to see how they were going to look, still haven't decided on what set to go with.
I lowered it down a little more, looks a bit more scale I think.
@Kris407 I didn't think I would like them much as I've always been a speed nut. But, I have proven myself wrong, I love these things lol
I've had 4 now, 3 Axial and the Trail Finder 2. This Rubicon is by far my favorite. If you get one one, let me know, I may have a few extra pays lying...
Ok, so I couldn't wait until Monday lol. Went in this morning and finished them. Now for tires and pics. Still unsure of what tires I want. I like the Swampers, but a few others have caught my eye too. Decisions decisions decisions
Yea Olds I've had both as well back in the day. Several gallons through them both and never had an issue. Plus they weren't that expensive either so after 12 gallons of fuel I would just get a new one when needed.
I agree with them being hard to find. As you mentioned, you could go to either...
As @hamz9561 would say, pics or it didnt happen, I'll post a few. The first 3 ops are done on the wheels, hope to get setup and running the last OP today. Enjoy
