Engine Fitment
Your new TAYLOR 35 Billet RC Engine is pretty much universal to all gas 5th scale platforms (see web
sale listing for fitment list).
The 35 will work with all 5th scale exhaust systems safely and make good power, so it acts as a direct
swap for any stock Zenoah/CY/KM/Rovan/30N/Fuelie etc engine. For the Ultimate performance look out
for a TAYLOR brand exhaust system to suit your vehicle, these of course were designed hand in hand with
our test engines.
The supplied Billet clutch housing has a thin shim temporary attached to the face for shipping. This shim
allows you to fit it to cars such as the HPI Baja or Kraken Vekta etc where a full depth clutch housing is
needed. Or simply remove the shim and keep safe if fitting to cars like the Losi 5T/5B etc where a short
clutch housing is needed.
Engine Starting/Break-in Procedure
First Time Engine Starting.
When starting for the first time following engine installation it will be necessary to draw the fuel from the
fuel tank up to the carburettor. Prime the carb several times until you can see the fuel passing into
the carb from the line so you know the carb is full. (via primer bulb on the top of the carb)
Next turn on the choke (if you have one) and pull the engine at high speed until she fires once. After this
turn off the choke and try to start the engine, sometimes a little throttle will help a lot to get her going.
If you are using a carb which does not feature a choke, that’s fine, simply repeat the above method but
instead of using the choke lever, use your hand to block the air intake for first pull to act as an effective.
choke method. You will not need to do this for many times as the choking effect will be large.
After starting the engine make sure it is fully up to operating temperature before driving the vehicle.
For initial break in during the first 5mins, allow the engine to idle with intermittant blips of the throttle.
For the 2-3 tanks of fuel operate the vehicle in a mechanically sympathetic manner with a nice rich
safe tune so that there is lots of fuel/oil mix going through the motor to lubricate it while tight and new
As long as you run your new engine with a rich tune, your going to struggle to hurt it. It’s a very reliable lump.
From this point on you can dial in the tune and let her true potential be unleashed as the motor loosens up!
