3M Mintor 170 questions

[Tom Collins]

I currently have spare bearings/pistons/sleeves/O-rings/cyl-heads for the
3M140 and will be stocking the same for the 3M170. So, getting spare parts
should not be a problem.

  For those in the know regarding the 3M 170::


  1: I notice the rear bearing is a double back ball bearing, I do not know
what this truly means, but will Boca or the US based 3M retailers  have the
replacement bearings available? Any other substitutes? Don't want to be
needing a bearing in the middle of the season and be waiting for a bearing
from Italy!

  2. Same question as above but regarding rings? Do the retailers like
BuyRC, PlanesPlus, AeroSlave, etc, have replacements in stock, or plans to?
Again, I do not want to be without use of an engine waiting on a ring or
bearing from Italy!

  3. Will the 170 be a drop in replacement for the OS 140? I have heard the
bolt patterns are the same, but what about the position of the nose ring,
exhaust,etc? Completely interchangeable with no refitting needed?


  Many Thanks

  GW
