Rebuilt 12a no return core?
Does anyone have any actual experience first hand with getting a replacement 12a.

I dont want to return my core so basicly I just want to buy a new motor.

Budget $3000 or less....

If your budget is 3k$ then send your motor to www.pineappleracing.com. They cost a lot.... but do excellent work. Great warranties too.

I dont want to send "MY" motor out.

My 7 is my DD and I just want to buy a fully built ready to drop in crate motor.

Just call them and tell them what you are looking for. Core charge is between 250 and 400 most times.

Most of the builders say a "good core" so if you send a junk one with no usable parts then it costs just the same as not sending one.
