The pull start kills those, the header won't clear it and you would need the tall engine mounts for pull start. I did just send them an email coincidentally asking if they would want to make the K&B available with no pull start. The K&B are still made in the USA and the quality is pretty good.

In the meantime I ordered up a small block no pull start and crank Force 15 from AliExpress. They have some coupons available that will vary for buyers. In the past Force were pretty decent, Ofna used to distribute them. Edit, sounds like force is done now so might not be a good viable option past t...

I did just send them an email coincidentally asking if they would want to make the K&B available with no pull start. The K&B are still made in the USA and the quality is pretty good. They could do some serious business if they would do this with the GT coming..they should cut you in for 10%...

It's stupidly simple too, they sell an airplane version of the engine that could be fitted with the carburator (need the 45⁰ needle valve) and the machined cooling head, or take the car engine they sell and swap the crank and backplate. Either way, it would be a crazy easy way to sell engines.

....or could just buy this $6.50 backplate( Part Number: 21-8801) when ordering engine...gasket is only $2.25..grind off pullstart tit..your golden..plus u can brag that u have a "custom" engine!

This is my tribute build to the Original Racing Master 956 as featured in the 1985 Tamiya Guide Book. This car and the Toyota Toms 84c highlighted 1/12 on road racing in that book. I have the Toms on the RM2 chassis, but they’ve become so expensive so went looking for something also that I could fit...

This is sort of a What's old is new but also a ReRe , this definitely could have been done and is inspired by the A+L trailing arm conversions , it uses ReRe Kyosho Scorpion rear trailing arms mounted to the back of a Yokomo 834b ReRe . This allows some camber change as the wheel rises plus a little...

An insane Drillinator got his tools on this pitful Yoke. I would love to know if this was done intentionally. Or is this neighbour's revenge after fighting his dog too hard? I never will find out because this Fighter came to me already mistreated in 2018. I jazzed it up with nice electronics. World ...

Sold this a few weeks ago, but I had lots of fun restoring a near complete RC10T RPM Ultra Mold

Here is my RC10 Ten4.1, the 4wd kit from Factory Works, build with MSP RC blue chassis, nose plate and motor plate. MSP RC front and rear arms Original Factory Works motor Sanyo SCE 1800 nicad Tekin 411P Futaba receiver Futaba servo Protech II body rps20250104_170423.jpg rps20250104_170545.jpg

Not super vintage but it's Associated first official 4wd buggy. This is an early kit which has been raced a couple seasons on carpet and put away just as you see it, there is still carpet fuzz in the wheels.

Shaping up nicely... shaping up very very nicely...
