.12 or .15 OS

Pull start or bump start?

 

[shadey26 ntc3]

pullstart, anything that wont be a prob for her . she is always saying that i dont have time for her because i am allways playing with my car, so there is no excuse now :cheerful: speed is not in issue

You can get a new piston/sleeve for that motor for like $50
it would probably last her forever( call hobby people)

or a os CV like eddy says they're good motors for under $85 at tower

OS is always a good choice.

...just detune the carb a bit so she's not quite as fast as you...:thumbup:

 

[RatzoRC]

you can probably rebuild it for less than 40 dollars. your lhs should have the parts and proper instructions on the rebuild.
Good luck.

Does she have an interest in RCs.
Several years ago I thought my wife would enjoy driving. She comes to all the races and hangs for the day. I assumed she wanted to race as well but was quite wrong. She just liked to come check out all the fat dudes at the track.

Lesson:
Ask if shes interested first.

ed yeah she is interested she been saying she wanted one for a while. I dont think a 15 cv-x will keep up with a novarossi mt12. I hope thank for all the information that i have receive , it is very helpful:ale:
