Yes. Any Fun Factor series will be able to fit a .21. You dont need those $200 conversion kit like others. However, you do need differnt mount/plate and you do have to re-set the throttle linkages and maybe reverse the carb. depend on which engine.
Other than motor mount, you do need a different motor plate as well ( or just enlarge the stock one will work too). And a U shape exhaust manifold to connect from primary manifold to pipe. Or just have the pipe shoot toward the back will work too. I will post a pic tomorrow. I know my post is confusing so i will post a pic tomorrow then you will see what i am talking about.

Our onroad car CT4 will fit a .21 as well. It wont be available until late this month (for U.S.)
I would say it solely depend on which engine. There are engines that will break your car no matter which car you use. In general, we use a box stock MT2 with O.S. .21 engine and end up in B-main of Proline Maxx challenge so i would say it handle the power pretty well consider we ran a box stock MT2 (the only thing we change is fuel tank and Engine) against the most tricked out Monster trucks you can image.

That is solid. CEN Should consider to let me be a reseller. I would like to take a not as well known name brand and race it. But like to make some profit myself on the side.
I am about to start traveling with my family. I will be racing in each country we go to. End of July we will go to England. We will be going all over Europe.
Been in contact with quite a few race clubs over there already. Figuring out where and when we will go to each one.

You can find video here. Go to the bottom of the page and download from the link.
I forgot about your motor mount. sorry. You can basically buy any .21 engine mount will fit. The reason you have to buy a new set is becaues the stock unit is design for .16. So all you need is a .21 engine motor mount, there isnt really a specific one you have to get.

It would be good to show videos of it jumping and what not. I have 2 TMaxx 2.5's and 1 OFNA Hyper 7 PBS and a Nitro TC3.
You always see them doing crazy stuff in videos. It would be nice to see how this compares before buying one.

Try idle screw first. Then the carb. needles. If it does not help when you turn idle screw, try to adjust the throtle knob on the radio.

Technically yes, engine mount and motor plate is all you need, but sometimes you do have to reverse the carb. and reset throttle linages..etc small stuff like that which does not required to spend more money.

Get go to LHS and get one that will fit your .21 and the car. There isnt a specific one you have to buy. OR just enlarge the holes on stock one will work too.

my little bro just bought a cen sp-1
not a bad car for a 2wd
not as fast as my thunder tiger ts4n down the stright
but corners sharper and can take them at full revs wher i have to drop my revs a bit other wise my turng circle is about 3 miles
we race oval so mybe it wouldnt hanle to well on a twisty track
but its good enough for what we do
as with real cars 2wd turns better than 4wd
anyway is there any hopups for this car
