Nope just looks like it does, the brake is normally mounted on or by the Spur gear, but that would be sweet
but it would make the car wieght so much more.

Actually, the engine block is pretty standard, not very expensive. It's just that Zenoah and the like make custom pull start assemblies, custom intake/carb assemblies, and custom drive train mounts. The rest is just a standard block, I have a couple exactly like his So, he could kill the engine and replace it with a $45 weedeater one

 

[Nyical]

OH didnt know that, got a few gas wackers around the place
now if I could only mount one to my 1/10 scale buggy


Damn and I spent 180.00 on my OS engine

hehe, that's what you think. i haven't set up the cables running to the brakes yet, so as of right now, only one rear brake is working

 

[Bignate603]

looks like he cracked the rear bumper a bit though... Very sweet car. I bet that's a blast to drive.
