After seeing and reading an artitical about Port & polishing the nitro star 25 engine some time ago, I was sure that this was an area of experimentation I wanted to get around to doing some time...
And that is exactly what happened,.... TIME.... And as time passed,... so did the articals completeness. Hopefully, it may still be able to be restored to it's original state.
I was thinking (imagine that...lol) that one of us could get a hold of the magazine, RCCAR ACTION, that printed it.... The magizine's staff might be cool enough to look into their achives and find the missing links were looking for, and possibly give us the the whole artical intact, with the original color pics. At that point, we could seccure it in our own archive database, for safe keeping. Sound like a plan, anyone?....Just a thought...
You see, what's really great about this purticular artical is that it helps break down the fear factor in doing your own P & P work. While it still warns us to be very careful and aware of the cuts to the sleeve, ect, it's presented in a really cool, easy to digest, short form presentation.(with pics) It gets you rolling in the project, without alot of techical dogma that discourages the average newbie from even trying it. It's worth it to this forum to have it in it's archives, without question. In fact, I was really tempted to go and get a HPI 25 mill and proform this procedure, just to see the difference.
I hope one of us has the drive to get this artical restored to it's original state. Who ever does this will have a feather in their hat, as far as I'm conserned.
The name of the Magizine has been stated in this thread. All we really need is the photographer's insight. Steve Pond, the author, may be the person that actually ported the engine and wrote the artical and maybe has a personal record of his pics history. Infact, he might be able to get us a much better resolution of these pics, compared to the reduced sizes that Mags do to their pics. This, barring any legal issues, of course.
I'm just throwing out some idea's for anyone to start from. Heck, We might be able to buy a back issue from the Magizine itself, and scan in the pics with a scanner. That's if there was no other option, of course.
Who ever pulls this off, can either post the artical here, or start a their own thread for this artical.
Good luck, to those who attempt this research.---http://www.rccaraction.com---

This thread is basically a continuation to the "porting the 25" thread that is located in Engines/Clutches/Pipes.
It is there, where you can find an additional link to the partial artical (without pics) and also view some testimonials on the threads initial responses, when it was first posted.
==========I've brought this original threads subject matter to the forefront so it can regain some dirrect attention to it's intended purpose.============
