needed a nitro rc engine

[skol587]

hola i was wondering if anyone has a nitro engine(that runs) from an air craft or car that i can have because i'm converting a usa trains jp 38 from electric to nitro electric and i have all the electronics that i need but i don't have the motor or the fuel tank,lines,carb,pipe,and muffler.

so if you have it and don't want it pm me or post i don't care (im trying to kiss you butt with the smily)

lol, I used to have a cessna 5ft wing span, put a big engine in it and it flew like a fighter jet!:hehe:
Edit:I do remember the hobby shops having some rebuilt engines sometimes for about half the cost....

ya i went to mine and they have the parts to rebuild them but no rebuilt ones so i asked them to see how much it would coast for a new one with a starter and they wanted 200 or 300$ i don't remember

That's going to be a loud train even with a silencer!

a guy in Australia built one out of an rdc and custum built a silencer and put it inline with the stock one and i herd it in a you tube vid it sounded good but the video has been removed.
