The motor still has decent compression, i just havent tried to start it in about 3 months. $400 + shipping. Or trades for good electric.
From a past thread all the upgrades:

Integy Aluminum rear skid plate.

With putting that much strain on the rear of my vehicle, i upgraded my turnbuckles on the rear to some that are like 3x the size of stock.

To protect and allow more airflow to the engine while on the track, I added a hard bodyz roll cage, instead of a body. A body i feel is too enveloping the motor, restricting the cooler air around it. You have to remember, when you are putting that much strain on your motor, ITS GONA GET HOTT!!

POWER:
I decided to stick with the stock Losi Mach .26ss motor. I upgraded the 1m head shim up to a 2mil head shim, and am running 30% nitrotaine fuel.

Brought the stock clutch bell down a few teeth, dont remember what it was brought to. It lost a little top end, but got a little more torquie.
Jammin JP-3. One word: AMAZING. I had this pipe installed when i was running 20% fuel and was extremely happy. I added the shim and 30% and this bastard woke up like it was in a coma at stock.

Ofna Aluminum 3-shoe Clutch. Over the stock composite shoes, these are a huge difference. Using a dremal I roughed up the inside of my clutch bell, and then installed it. Using the more firm springs, I was able to make the truck launch at higher RPM's and give it a much shorter acceleration rate.

TRACTION:
In order to stop stripping out the hubs on my rims........ 4 in one day during practice........ I went ahead and upgraded the stock wheel adapters up to the 23mm wheel adapters (HUGE) by Integy

I got the Pro-Line Wabash 40 series 23mm HD rims. Just because they fit, and I liked the way that they look.

To keep my truck moving, I added the Proline MOAB 40 series tires. This enables me to be able to fine tune my driving skills on concrete and not wearing down to much, as well as providing some sticky-icky track time. These tires work very well for well groomed tracks.
