| 257 flows a bit more fuel. Here is a few FG part numbers you should pick up.... 6416/08 front tires 6418/08 rear tires 7450 2 speed 7456 2 speed carrier (good spares) you can also drill 3 more holes to add more shifting pins. 8450/01 front brakes 1411 alloy uprights I always remove the entire rear brake set up on the FG. Also Davesmotors has a clearance sale on the FG top end pipe, originally $159.99 for black finish, now $119 Link found here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]You can find these parts from some of the sponsors found on our website to the right of the screen. Make sure you use the 5% discount code for members here. _________________ Administrator - RC Burn Out Racing Forum

Yup, I would not use it on a stock unported motor.

The 257 seems like a perfect carb for a reed motor, but without anyone trying the 257 on the BZM, you will be the first to try it. But to be honest get the motor first worry about which carb later. _________________ Administrator - RC Burn Out Racing Forum
