I don't think they show up on your phone or tablet unless there is a setting I don't know about. You'd have to look on your computer.

Go to the kyosho section of the forum and look for your thread title and it should have views on the right even from a tablet .you have 219 as of this post

Serious goodies camw today. Gonna get that 33 yr old mill runnin again. I still need a cone starter

[coxbros1]

The engine has great compression again. Getn ready to install it for the last time hopfully. Cant start till fri. Thats when the starter comes in, i could use the factory string but dont really want to

[THEYTOOKMYTHUMB]

Cleaned up nice. Do you think it'll cool properly, or do you think it may need an auxiliary fan?

[coxbros1]

Prolly need a fan like the Rampage did.

It will cool just fine if you cut the needed hole in the body and if the mixture is set correctly. If you run it too lean, it will run hot. But if the mixture is correct it will run within the appropriate temp range. If you live in a really hot climate, you could put an optional aluminum head on it. It would use the same as those available for the rest of the CZ .12 family (CZ-R, CZ-Z).

You might consider rotating the existing cast head 45 degrees so the fins are parallel to the air flow.

[coxbros1]

I concur on the rotation. I had it like that but saw the factory os pic was the other way, so i switched it to look box stock. On fuel, yes i run em on the safe side after break in....i race 1/8th nitro buggy in the summer and have a pretty good handle on the mixtures, my rampage head is tiny compared to my GTs OS CV red square head, it runs much cooler than the cz, so i put a small fan, like on an esc, blowing right at it and it solved the problems. I dont like to run em much over 230 degrees

[coxbros1]

Got it runnin! Good and bad news tho, i had to put a new carb off my nib cz-r engine on, original carb was flooding the engine.....the engine starts and idles perfectly. The bad news is the jbweldrepair on the clutch didnt hold. I will try again with plastic epoxy. If that doesnt work can a new clutchbell(plastic) be 3d printed? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am contacting a local that might have one but its not promising. Without the proper bell or repair the brakes wont work properly. I am miserable!

[THEYTOOKMYTHUMB]

I am miserable!

Hang in there, I'm sure it will all work out!

[jwscab]

i suppose one can be machined from aluminum?

[coxbros1]

Possibly but the rear belt pulley is molded into it as well.
I gave another attempt with two part plastic epoxy, wont know till tommorrow or thurs if it works cause i am on jury duty....but juror #13 right next to me is seriosly Hot!
Also....got some serious goodies in today, new tires, almost like the originals, fit the wheel perfect, and my new shock springs came in, and an original limiter set, (like a slipper) Bottom line, once i get this clutchbell deal fixed, (of course i aint heard s##t from my local guy), this things gonna be driving around. Just in time too cause Thumbs is comin down for a "Jason Fest" mid Feb. Pics comin soon of tires, etc.

Have fun with that! We need photographic evidence though. The second the trial starts get your phone out to take a selfie and make sure she's in the background...
