Title: RC Mushroom
Post by: Shawn68z on April 08, 2013, 12:01:14 PM


Putting in an order tonight. Nothing large (Ie NO BODIES).  I am ordering a servo, lipo battery, and some wheels for nitro. (Plus some 733/747 spares)..    I am putting in the order tomorrow night.  Short notice, but I want the package before I leave.  If anyone is interested in hoping in on this order let me know.

Saw your post... Your better off buying some thing new.. Personally though, if I needed a new engine, http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_23_2156_1925_1926/products_id/236473/n/RB-Products-SPEED-12-3-Port-On-Road-Engine-w-2668-In-Line-Pipe-Turbo-Plug


Pipe and Engine for $200.  Solid company too.

Yea. I was gonna get a new esc to try but new engine prob better.
Sucks. Must have flooded it and stressed the rod. Or since i didn't change after break in, it just had enough after the season.

But.

Cant pass up the chance to save so Much coin so....

OS-11685
OS-72107400 hold off on this, i think i need a different pipe that rcmushroom doesn't carry.

Probably

that would have been the engine to get instead of the TZ when i got it ha. im still rocking the old 2630 pipe that was dented and mangled. might have has something to do with this motors early death. still not sure what killed it.. it was running very strong all season.. maybe it just needed more attention in the off months. i literally left it in the closet with after run in it til only last week. tried to start up with fresh fuel and boom.

thats a good deal on the motor and pipe, but i think ill be pretty happy with the motor ive listed. not so much for our racing, but if i go to timezone with you guys, ill need something with a little more top end.

Out of the 8-10 orders I have put into rc mushroom, they have all been between $300 and $2300, and not one of them has had customs or taxes yet.    I have only paid taxes/duties on stuff from the US.

Maybe I am due.

RC Mushroom should be ok as they under value the parcel a lot of the times

I don't know what would be "suspicious" about declared items, but if you talking dollar value, its hardly noticeable.
