has anyone seen the 1380 that minispares sell. is this worth the money? it seems a good idea to me as i cant afford a fully built engine :sad: , but this means i only have to do the bolt on stuff! :angry:

Open the webpage with the info for the 1380 on it (if there is one :huh: :angry: ) and highlight the whole address in the address bar, then copy it (press ctrl+C when it's highlighted)

then when your in TMF and writing a post click the [http://] button and a small box will appear. Paste the address into the space using ctrl+v, click ok then type what you want the link to appear as, '1380 engine' for example

simple as! :grin: :smartass: :angry:

shoddy with 'make believe' power figures. For value for money get an MED or Morspeed engine.

as above.

always get your engines from a place where you can see them being built and if possible see some evidence of the workmanship.

By the way Morspeed are VERY good (and will also supply an engine kit if needed)

As above, and the one you are looking at I would say is equivalent to Morspeeds 1380 sports engine... priced @ 560 + exchange.

and of course you will have to build it yourself..

Either that or save for a bit longer :angry:) good luck
