Abstract: A body mount system and method for a model vehicle that includes a vertically adjustable body post and a body slide that can be attached to the body post in a fixed configuration and a movable configuration. The body mount system further includes a first and second body post cap removably attached to either end of the body slide in a fixed configuration and movable configuration. The first and second body post caps include respective first and second body supports rotatively attached to the first and second body post caps. Wherein the movable body slide configuration permits adjustment of the body slide in a first horizontal direction relative to the body post and wherein the movable first and second body post cap configurations permit adjustments to the first and second body post caps in a second horizontal direction relative to the body slide.

Abstract: The present invention includes a muffler for attachment to an engine that includes an inlet for receiving exhaust gases into the muffler, a catalyst assembly located within the muffler, and a fastener tube for fastening the muffler to the engine. A fastener tube cover covers the fastener tube and includes an outlet for exiting exhaust gases. The outlet includes a directional louver that directs the exiting exhaust gases. The fastener tube cover can retain a spark arrestor which maintains maximum spark particle size in the exiting exhaust gases.

Abstract: An SAS two-cycle engine has a cylinder block that has a bore with at least one scavenging port and at least one fresh air port therein. The bore extends to a crankcase. A piston of the engine is located within the bore and separates a combustion chamber of the bore from the crank area and is movable between a first position, in closest proximity to the crank area, and a second position. The air port and the piston are configured such that air may flow from the air port into the combustion chamber of the cylinder when the piston is at the first position. In one example, the scavenging port and the air port have edges that are selectively revealed upon movement of the piston. The air port includes an upper edge, which may be contoured such that only a portion of the upper edge is exposed when the piston is at the first position.
