The guy at the hobby shop that's been helping me do the mods, gave me a deal on the electronic components that I will need. The servo for the throttle, dual servos for the steering, and the transmitter and receiver chips. I gotta put all the transmitter pieces in a remote on my own, but I got the stuff at a heller deal. I traded the guy a DVD box set of the show Scrubs, seasons one through seven ( I think ) and got all that, and a few other odds and end things. Such as tiny little motor shocks, I guess like moto mounts, Idk, and a chain drive set, that I have to modify to fit the saw motor.
Still haven't found a truck I like enough to buy for this little project.
I didn't think anyone else here was into this stuff. Every time I mention this to anyone, they think I am a big geek. Well, I am a big geek but not cuz of that.lol

Something I found interesting about that old Homey engine:
it has a 47mm bore. That's BBK big! It's a 3.1 cubic inch engine, short stroke makes most of its power under 9000 rpm. 2 ring piston, chrome something plated bore. It's bigger than a stock 1e40, by 5 cc's. A 54cc saw, it's a friggin BEAST. I have two of these saws, one a 1977 and one a 1979. both run out quick and easy. The Tillotson carb has a 12 mm venturi, and it's reed valve induction.

I used to run a 1/10th Losi buggy and a truck back in the 90's on a local dirt off-road race track with my kids. Both used stock motors and six cell NiCad batteries. There were strict classes for buggies and trucks as well as modified classes with 7-cells and motors, all 1/10 scale. Except for one idiot the management let run in the stock truck class with a 1/8 scale truck. He just tried to knock everyone else off the track. The off-road track was redesigned each week and they had oval racing also. The track finally closed due to mismanagement. The owner bought too many high $$ toys and could not keep the track bills paid.

They are a blast, fairy cheap and super easy to fix if something goes wrong! I'm about to order more of the plastic gears, I'll buy a few of them this time incase I break it on the first day I fixed it like we did last time! |
