Idntify Nitro motors

[Rizzle67]

I have an O.S. .15 with a broken rod. The sleeve and piston look fine. I want to fix this motor and use it. As far as any other identification goes I am not able to find any "block" numbers so I can source a new connecting rod. Since I am here. Can I reuse the piston and sleeve even though the rod broke? To me it would be easier than resleeving and having to go through break in procedures. Not sure which road is the smarter easier way to go. Obviously just buying a new motor would be simple. Why do that if I can fix one. Plus these little .15 are great for my RC10 rigs. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

model ? os cv?cvr? picture to know for sure. You can get a new rod. buying a new Os wouldn't be easier as they are rare and discontinued.

@monstertruckier15. Where would the model type be stamped? When I get home I will post pictures of what I have. Thanks

It's usually on the side of the crank case.

This is the motor in question. The poorly lighted picture it is where it says 15. How do identify the model like what @monstertruckier15 had asked about?

It is not an OS, it is Team Associated.

It a Associated .15 engine. parts can still be found on ebay.

Here's the manual for it with the parts explosion and part numbers:

The ae on the side was for "associated electronics", with the 15 on the other denoting the size.

@olds97_lss this is what i needed. Thank you. A far as finding parts for this motor, it is proving difficult. I may continue or start research into a new motor. What would you recommend? I want something with a lot of parts avaliable. Dont really want a TRX motor but it seems there is an abundance of them. We will see. Again thank you for the manual.

Not as many RTR engines readily available these days. Since that's rotary carb/side exhaust, guessing you want to stick with that. Appears in the parts explosion that it has a pilot shaft also.

These are cheap:

Need a clutch adapter though:

And will likely have to dremel the crank or cut it off with a saw to fit the adapter.
