thanks guys
I know more than well that if they want something it will go but it will be in a shed, its just for a weekend thing thats why i dont plan to spend a great deal on it.
I only asked becase evrytime I see an add for a half decent little 2 smoker it always says its just been rebuilt so I was wondering if it would be just as well to get a 4 stroke

What is a rebuild in a stroker?  Other than a big end bearing take the head off and replace the piston / rings / gudgeon pin / small end (which all comes in a £30 piston kit) there is nothing else.

If an engine has just been rebuilt (see above ;) ) I'd guess that it's been de-restricted and has the incorrect jet fitted. a couple of seconds of WOT and the piston will melt.  To fit a new piston in a KMX esc crosser there access is OK, it's about 30 minutes.


Just dont ask me how I know  :roll:

You need to learn the correct use of capital letters :P

Come on, this is a 4x4 forum not a spelling bee.

I'd say it would depend on what you are using the bike for. If your a top class rider who is a the sharp end of expert racing then yes you will need a fair amount of maintanance, top end rebuild every 10 hours at a cost of at least £75.

If you just want to goon around a field for a couple of hours every weekend then it should be ok, just don't forget to use a reasonable 2 stroke oil and clean the air filter every time you go out.
