Looks good man, Make sure you put a throttle return spring or rubber band on there and program your fail-safe on the radio.

Looks great! I agree with Reaper, take the precautions necessary, along with a proper and gentle break-in of your new Go Engine, and you should be right as rain. Kudos! ?&^

just about half way maybe 3/4 through the breaking in stage , sorted out the fail safe but need to sort out a elastic or spring yet for the throttle , just glad everything is back up and running , had it out today running very rich and started to lean it out ever so slightly , ticks over without stalling and runs great ........ sweeeeeeeeeeeet starts first time .... just need some dry weather now so can run it on the feilds roll on spring / summer .<*&

The zx1.5 that i bought came with a .25 but i blew it up so answer-rc uk replaced it with a free upgrade to a .28 , but a week later i crashed it , well it had a servo fail on me , on full throttle lol and it crashed and burned ! so i am on my third engine .25 ... i dont think the zx1.5 comes with a .21 here in the uk , the truggy comes with a .28 ... cheers .

I understand it doesn't come with a .21 but doesn't your shop carry sport .21's with pullstarts? for around the same price?(that's all I was asking) the .21's would be a bit easier to drive than .25's

did not think about it like that , the .25 seems to have plenty of power , i just had a bit of bad luck with this car i bought , not everything went smoothly , if u no what i mean .... lol :)

well the first thing to happen was the first engine on the buggy blew up , replaced for free to a .28, then a steering servo stopped working a wire came loose inside , fixed for free , then i blew a tyre , so need a new set ! 25 quid , then the throttle servo went heywire and stuck open resulting in a bent chasis £50 bent top plate £10 another blown engine £50 discounted and changed again to a .25 and another servo replaced for free but upgraded to a metal geared one .... lol WHATS NEXT this hobby as cost me about £450+ up to now with tools fuel glow starts plugs etc etc etc .... lol .:D
