[astrad]

will the os 26-cx (4stroke) fit the HPI NMT? I was thinking about putting one in.

Has anyone tried the 4-Stroke conversion from New Era Models?

I'm wondering if its worthwhile to give it a try.

I think many of us have been wanting to try the 4-Stroke for some time now and are anxious to hear of any 4-stroke conversion stories.

Here is what New Era Models told me about the conversion.
ALL YOU DO GETis simply:
Nut, Flywheel, Cone and Motor Mounts
leaving the rest for us to figure out.
For the Bargin price of $84.90, you do NOT get any of the following:
header and pipe, header coupling, carburator adaptor, air filter coupling

You will have to use current HPI clutch bells whose gears do not compensate for the lower RPM of the fourstroke, thus you will lose top end speed. Also, when asked about working with the two speed, New Era said you will need a shim/adapter kit for the two speed $4.95 for it to work.
I enquired about the carburator possibly hitting rear shock towers and how to allow for conventional air filters to be used. Their reply was "Thecarb standoff can be rotated 180 degrees." So apparently the carb's location will work, but it is up to us to link it to a servo and to get the air filter to fit as they have in the picture above.

Any other coments please reply.
I'm now thinking of making up my own "conversion" kit list that will include everything.
