Synergy N5C Flybarless Belt Drive Kit for a first nitro?

That really is strange. You would think they would post the numbers straight from the OS site.

well... anyway, best way to find what i like is to try... and i like my protos best on medium head speed (for comparison, if i like my protos 500 stretched on 2400, what should i aim for on n5c and 7se??)

im trying to find a hatori sab-55, but literally ANYWHERE i look they are out of stock.. maybe its discontinued??

If you can find the Hatori SAB 1 pipe, it works extremely well with the os 55.

Really like my Funtech B323. 

If you're heart is set on the Hatori and you don't mind buying used, there's a guy selling a Hatori SAB-55 on Helifreak:

today was a chrstmas for me! came postman and brought me my os55 hz! it is SMALL!!! my second IC engine, first being os gt33, this seems small and light!

spent like 20 min wondering why my motor mount is such a poor fit... turns out that starter shaft can not only tilt engine forward-back, but also left-right... apologies for thinking so badly about this kit! :-D

[rimaarts]

next step...

unpacked my hatori sab-55! any tips on sealing it? any tips of installing nipple? (os55hz is muffler-pressurised)... since i have heard about using somekind of epoxy as gasket sealant, what you think about jb-weld? and what about jb-welding that nipple?

[Chris Sexton]

I would use jb weld on the nipple but be careful not to use too much.

As for the seal I have had great success with the provided metal gasket.

emm... provided metal gasket? was it supposed to come with n5c kit or my pipe? because in any case i dont remember having one with the kit, and it definetely did not come with the pipe....

[Chris Sexton]

I just went and looked at it closer. It does appear mine has a cork gasket, sorry. Been a long time since I had to take the pipe off I guess.

I have heard several people use RTV to build their own. I will see if I can figure out where I got the cork gasket. I was thinking it came with my pipe but the listing on the SAB55 don't seem to show a gasket on any of the sites I see.

[Rodney Kirstine]

I don't use any kind of gasket on mine.

[rimaarts]

how would this  gasket look like? http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/quick_exhaust_gaskets_50-55_size_h3250-p-10747.html

well, i would rather be safe than sorry!

For sealing the pipe flange to engine flange I have used a microscope slide (the piece of glass you put stuff on to look at) with some 800grit wet\dry sand paper super glued to it to sand both sides, then a really thin bead of the orange rtv high temp silicone on the engine side (I leave the silicone on for 20min before assembly).  I always put the piston on TDC and block the port off when sanding. Anyway the gentleman that taught me this trick doesn't use any sealant and has claimed he has never had a leak.  Jb weld on the nip for sure and let it set up before use. As far as the Sab 55 I use two nuts on the each bolt to ensure they don't loosen up, I haven't had any luck with glue or lock nuts but if you come across some metal self locking nuts those would be the way to go (I haven't looked for any since the jam nut works great for me).

This should all be viewed as opinion and not fact, I am only sharing my experience.

Dunno if you're still looking for the SAB-55, but this one is the same it just has the Hatori model number instead of the US one. Will probably work out to a little over $100 to your door.

i already snagged sab-55 from heli direct! FINALLY all the parts arrived here! only concern of mine is that i could have damaged my pushglo... :/ that tiny sd-card thingy you have to push in on top was SOOOOOO hard to get in... :/

[rimaarts]

so... do you guys use something special to mount fbl (brain)? or default red 3m tape works? maybe 2 layers?
