I picked up a brand new Force .12S for $99 which is a pretty cheap engine here, it equates to about $10 bucks usd with the current conversion rate. :lol: This engine will go into a RC10GT runner to replace the CV-R currently in it. 20250127_211046.jpg What's inside? Let's take a look. Standard Force...

Normally you'd cut the crank with a sandwich bag while the engine is assembled but I decided to cut it while out. I have a few Associated cut off nuts somewhere but do you think I could find them? I ended up using a dubro collar that fit quite well. To be honest you don't need a cut-off nut if you k...

Thanks Kym, it's always fun rebuilding/restoring engines and rewarding when you get them running again.

Clutch time..... MIP 4-n-1 clutch which was the best clutch back in the day, much better then trimming the stock AE shoes. This flywheel is a litte worse for wear cosmetic wise but since it's on a runner it doesn't really matter. 20250127_220613.jpg All ready to go into the GT. This has non pull eng...

As you can see even with non pull start mounts the pullstart hangs down minimally (<1mm), quite acceptable in my opinion.

If it hasn't already been mentioned both packs need to be equal capacity and in the same state of charge.

Thanks Kym, it's always fun rebuilding/restoring engines and rewarding when you get them running again. Well....... seeing as you enjoy it so much..... let me know when you want to do some more :P :P :P Seriously though, always enjoyable watching your threads, RJ.... quality content, and matching q...

10M with full DA Composite Iridium Carbon.

Hard stuff to photograph but looks amazing in person.

j/k...... keep up the good work

Another cheap Force engine. This time a .15, which is pretty much the same as the .12


Not sure which one to run in the truck.....

Not sure which one to run in the truck..... The last time we ran Derek's GT he had swapped the OS .12 for the .15 and I was surprised at the difference. The .15 hauled ass. Not sure how these compare, or if it's going in a GT. Seeing all these engines lately makes me wish I could get motivated to c...

Same same but different.... The most interesting thing is the carb throat is slightly smaller. Hopefully this means the engine is a raging fire breathing beast and needs the smaller carb to tame it down :lol: :roll: 20250213_213726.jpg There are some slight differences but nothing anyone would care ...

i dunno... the crescenzi brake was pretty badass.

This is also true....

Gas Truck racing was the s*** back in the day

I don't know what is going on with AE..... what's old is new again?


I wonder what a Halsey crawler would look like ?
