Hi guys, I built a jae12 rigger over the winter and I'm still on the fence about what to run for a motor. If I go with a buggy motor I will need a shaft adaptor and dont know where to find it. I guess if I go with the novarossi it would solve all the fitting issues. What did you guys do? JoeD.
 
I would have to say go with the NR .12. what its like $165 and just sweet out the box.

octura makes collets for both 1/4-28 sg shaft and 5mm cranks so any motor can be made to work...

Thanks a bunch guys, I have seen a lot of the 12s with buggy engines but not sure how the collet was attached, there are some very different looking cranks. I may still buy the novarossi but play with a buggy engine as well just to compare. Kinda chomping at the bit as this would have been our first day at the pond if it werent for it being easter!!! Oh well, that makes next week the big day. I have 3 other LSG boats and this will be my first nitro in 3 years. JoeD.
 
I have a dynamite .15 for one of these boats and im looking for a collet and flywheel for it. Do you guys know what size the crank is. Its not an sg style crank. Any help would be appreciated.
 
We have our club race this week end with some running 18CVR, 18TZ, and NR12. I will let you know the results.

4mm crank.. I have some fly wheels for the dynamites kicking around..
 
i would go for the Novarossi .12 engine they are fast really fast
i already have a dynamite .15 that has been sent out to a guy that goes through the motor and sets them up so......I didnt have this done myself i got the motor from a friend with all the paperwork.

you might try phil's hobby shop.
 
The Dynamite .12 has the standard 5mm threaded crank. Use a Ron Paris dished piston if it doesn't already have one.
