Ok yea ,I will find the bid an take a pic of it ,if you have a Dremel ,you can use the bid to slot your holes a little ,if needed ,but if its good ,then it might be best if you don't ,it will stay better ,then that way the engine wont move! I always like to put a set screw on my engine mounts...

Make sure that you take it easy an monitor that gear mesh ,make sure there is no grinding or weird loud wining from it ,pull it in an inspect each gear tooth for wear!

Yea ,that will work an atleast the engine can breath!....:thumbs-up:

Is that the original header for the 16 ,if so .use it if it fit your pipe!

Right here! https://www.rctalk.com/forum/threads/engine-swap-help.126145/post-1247158

That is kinda of a lot of back pressure ,I said earlier in the thread that you should replace it , a lot of the engines performance is due to what tuned pipe you run! Some people will channel out the mouth a little with a Dremel tool in an angle toward the screw holes , I had seen that done...

No ,I am not buying them ,funds are limited an I'm buying fuel next week!...LOL I do want to design my own mounts that are fully adjustable though ,seeing that there is none on market ,I do have a design worked off in my freakin brain!...

I was watching these for myself ,an they are rare! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-HPI-Nitro-RS4-2-MT-1-10-Aluminum-18-Novarossi-Engine-Motor-Mounts-Rare/283440403728?hash=item41fe5d5510:g:7ssAAOSwYNRcpX9l

You can mark the outer engine mount with marker ,an when you make your template ,you can lay template down at your mark on the chassy. Put a little oil on the bottom of your engine mount ,an press it down on the cardboard ,it should transfer , an then cut out ,lay cardboard back over on mount...

Template out of cardboard!

I think that your good ,you can always buy a cutting bit later to slot the holes a little if needed!....:thumbs-up:

This style mount is what I am talking about!

You can drill ,an slot the holes ,I had slotted hole before with a Dremel cutting bit! Didn't the engine on the kyosho have its own built on mount?

LOL....That was going to be a trophy truck build that was put off ,just didn't have time at the time!

Its hard to locate hole to were you can mesh gears right ,I would try to find a different motor mount set up that will allow some adjustments ,like the Ofma style that is channeled or slotted ,I would also ,get rid of that style header pipe ,it may enterfere with the setting of the engine! Here...

Lol...just don't create a monster that you can't handle!.......:naughty: I have street cars with 2 spd's ,an know how mine go together ,but don't know too much about the Kyosho brand ,they do look similar though! Once you get it ,you should be able to figure it out ,then you can ask if you have...

The 2 needle carbs are a little tricky to tune ,but once tuned right ,it will have better response! I had bought used engines & rc's before ,an got very lucky with them ,thank God that the people didn't tune them after break-in an gave up on the engine ,the engines were still at factory settings...

No problem! The carb. on Kyosho though is probably the single needle carb. ,the Cen one is a 2 needle setting ,meaning that there is a high speed & a low speed needle ,an you will have better tuning capabilities in the transition from idling to quick full throttle!....:naughty:

It is a rotary ,just like the one in the car! The rotary ones in my opinion ,are more easier to work with in certain applications on mods on vintage cars & buggies!

It should fit! It maybe possible to just unscrew one of the gears off the bell ,if one is about the same size or ratio ,as the gears are only screwed onto the bell!
