Very cool ... I found a 1970 testars fly'em p51 mustang.... I know nothing about them but it's so cool I want to rebuild the motor but it's probably beyond help .... Any thoughts or ideas??? Maybe a new one??? Thanks 👍
I have a question. I have a .049 motor that seems to be locked up … just from sitting around a long time. If I take apart and clean it real good… do you think it would be alright or am I wasting my time since it’s locked up? My Dad use to run these with me when I was a boy. I found all of his old stuff and wanted to show my little girl how it works. All the motors are stuck though. Should I soak them in oil or something? I loved the hobby myself!!
There's a couple of tricks I use , a parts cleaner from AutoZone comes in a paint can with a dipping tray, working them lose with some PB blaster work's good. If you have a old crockpot put some straight antifreeze in it and let the parts simmer, make sure you remove any plastic parts from the engine first , once you get the piston loose and it has good compression should be good 👍 I've brought some back that should have been paper weights John
Do you have a video on how to remove the crankshaft from a Cox 049 engine ? I need to replace a crankshaft on one of my Cox engines and I don't want to damage it. I have removed the front screw that threads inside the crankshaft - but the prop driver seems to be holding the crankshaft .. so what's the best way to remove it ? Thank you for your time.
Throw it in what tank? And what made the parts clean? And what kind of tank did you use? And what are the names of the freaking pieces of the engine? How about a little explanation?
At around 4:08" of the video you show a tool that seems to do what I am looking for - what is the name of that tool and maybe you can describe briefly how to use it ?? Thank you again.
I bought that little tool from Cox International in Canada. Its a threaded to to the crankshaft and the other part threads on top and you just whack it with a hammer. And loosen and post crankshaft right out any nut and bolt will do the same
Okay I think I know what you're asking I replaced the old prop back plate with a new hexagon back plate press it in to the crank shaft to accommodate Cox new spring starter's the old system was just a spring that eventually dug into the propellers the hex nut and plastic cam eliminates that problem
@@johnhughes6397 cool I will have to take a look. I am hoping to find a multi cylinder for a tether car build. Price has been my biggest problem along with finding the smaller scaled examples seem to pop up every once in a while....
That little bitty o-ring was what I was missing on my dad's Black Widow thanks a million Bud she runs like a top🦅🇺🇸🏁😎
Man, I got see sick after 30 seconds!!
Yeah if you're doing stunts it's not so bad also helps not to take your eyes off the plane when flying
I would have appreciated if you used a mount to hold your phone or camera so we could see you do the work.
Hoping to see the actual disassembly & reassembly in a viewable format. 😢
Yeah I need to fix it I'm actually new to RUclips when I made that
