Modified S-25 Engine..

[markallen]

Has anyone else did the modifying Steve Pond did in RCCA to the HPI S-25?I did and wow it is awesome..I'm running 17/49 and it wheelies alot...I will have a video soon.And it runs great and idles like a charm..The power is way more than stock.It was more than worth it..I suggest this to all of you who have a S-25.You will surely enjoy the new found power..

Hey Mark, Do you have a link to this mod? I looked and could not find it.

I have maybe a gallon or so thru it before modifying..Only two tanks after..

Awsome thanks mark, He said his savage would rarely wheelie? I can't keep mine rubber side down from a dead stop or a hard blip of the throttle while slowly rolling? Maybe I'm geared lower than he is. I'm running a 15t CB and a 52t SG.

I'm sure this mod is a way of unleashing some extra power out of your mill, however, the message below is worth repeating to those who may have not seen it or skipped over it while reading the engine mod.



If you can’t afford to junk your engine, stop now If you can’t afford to throw away your engine, you shouldn’t make any of these mods. If you take your time and are patient, it’s unlikely that you’ll destroy your engine, but a slip with the grinding tool or a mental goof could turn your engine into a paperweight. If you can’t afford it, don’t even consider modifying your engine.
