    I noticed the older vvrc twins had chrome exhaust and polished crank case maybe it's an older pic. I was scared to weld as I thought they were cast aluminum because of there weird color .

    There is not any mods needed unless you want to install the exhaust in the back position they fit with the down tubes in the forward position.heres my angled exhaust. They still need to be cleaned up.

    Thanks for the idea,the ply worked great and will use it as a drill guide later. I talked to Tom at VVRC about me tig welding an angle into the exhaust for Clearance in the cowl and he said a few people have already done it and will not hurt anything and he is trying to get the manufacture to...

    I said balsa but ment ply , Sorry still learning all the terms . In the kit they give you a Dle 30cc bolting pattern that fits the I.D to the front of motor box but might just use some washers instead . The only thing i dont like about washers are some mite be different thicknesses from...

    I don't have a back plate I'm not using but you gave me an idea to use a 1/8 ply with a hole in it to check tomorrow . I don't think I am going to need that many washers as my cowl and the back plate of the motor shaft are flush with out any so I think if I ad that sheet of balsa to the motor...

    I don't have a spinner yet but plane on installing the DLE 30 balsa pattern givin in the kit for a spacer ,I think it will be just enough. How many washers did you use for the proper spacing? I was going to cut the cowl for the exhaust to fit but I work for a steel company and we do a lot of...

    :p i think I'm gonna go back a bit into the tunnel with the servo. I don't want to take any strength away from the motor box.i also had to shave the exhaust to fit in the cowl a bit .

    So far so good guys. The motor fits like it was made for it. The only thing i mite have to do is open up the cowl were the prop shaft goes threw as it is hitting the left side. The only problem i see with the engine is one of the cylinders are bolted on the crank case a bit off and makes the...

    I looked at just making the hole bigger but it's not deep enough.i will just make one if I need it its not that big of a deal . I will prob mount the throttle servo in the tunnel with carb pointing down on the twin after talking to one other person that did the same engine. After looking at the...

    This mite be yet another easy answer but are these three servo mounts suppose too be the same size in the kit. I would think one of these balsa boxes would be bigger for standard size servos but these are all micro size. Thanks

    74" Edge 540

    Will I have to purchase another hs5565 for the throttle or is there a cheaper hitec Hv servo to use for throttle only and can I use a micro,mini or should I stay with a standard size?

    I did order the 1/4 32 version. My cowl width i think was like 8.5 " so needed to as short as possible but i hope these little plugs are not going to be a pain with fowling and them not being as common. I hope the throttle and choke lincage will be an easy setup. I am prob going to go with the...
