We are getting closer lol!

Not unexpectedly, it's a 6 gear kit. Likely with bushings as well. Spot the universals, they got that part right.

Local dirt off road track was too. They weren't used much by the big names but weekend racers loved them

I've been very unhappy with even the commercial neon colors they offer. The best would be to find some old litespeed dylon but it doesn't come around often and is usually expensive. Nothing pops like it did.

I have neon commercial dye from rit. It is sold by the pound so I have a lot left lol. Id be happy to send some of you want to play with it

Here is a really old sample I did

Likely as it was removed, same exact thing AE has been doing with almost every release. Try googling "absolutehobbyz.com team-associated-6030-rc10-graphite-kit" and its the first one that pops up, but the link wont take you anywhere

Nope

Working on it. Lots of pieces to the puzzle

It appears the rumors are true.

For those without IG (like me) here is a tiny snip of it. There is no video just audio.

I was working at a dealership and had a car on a drive on lift, sitting about waist level. I was doing a mudflap install, we would sometimes do new car pre delivery stuff when it was slow. I would try to tap the stupid thing in and it didn't go, bounced out. Chased it down and tried again. Same thin...

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...

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.

Oh wow, yeah it's hard to work those after hardending! Dang!
