Fui muy confundido hasta que recuente las fotos.
I was very confused until I recounted the photos.

1. 1/2A Nut - Silver Speedy .051
2. KariFS - .049 Rudolph the Red Nosed BabeBee
3. fredvon4 - .049 Medallion with Old Style Throttle
4. sosam117 - .020 Cox Pee Wee with choke throttle
5. MauricioB - .020 Tee Dee with Custom exhaust throttle
6. getback - Some .049 Space Bug Jr's
7. rdw777 - .049 Golden Bee
8. modelbuilder49 - .049 Golden Bee on Wanda Witch C/L
9. 706jim - .020 Pee Wee pusher on Dumas John Boat.

OK, an easy fix, here is the 10th:

.020 Cox Pee Wee on Ace R/C Littlest Stick, Allied version.

My throttled Pee Wee is one where I purchased the throttle from the Japanese auction site for $36.89.
Then the proxy bidder services cost of $8.63.
After that the shipping cost of $14.27 to ship it from Buyee (proxy bidder) warehouse to my address.
Total cost was: $62.58

Both throttles were posted for auction Dec. 21,2020 and closed Dec. 25,020 by the same seller.

Also, won the auction for the Baby Bee .049 throttle carburetor from the same seller/ auction site.
Winning bid was $29.68, as I was the only bid on this one.
Then the shipping from the seller to Buyee (proxy bidder with their fees) and below is the screen shot of that total fee before shipping to my address.




I have yet to mount it on a Baby Bee engine and try it.

I like how the wording is on me winning the auction ---- You won't be in the Auction!
Translating you won the auction doesn't translate well?




Have I run the Pee Wee with the throttle -- Yes.
On 15% nitro with a 4.5x2 Cox gray prop.
Throttle wide open -- RPM is 18,000 --- 19,000 rpm.
Throttled down -- 8,000 --- 9,000 RPM

Mounted the engine using from the Ace Hardware store those nylon "standoffs" to where they were long enough to clear the carb.

It works similar like the Sure Start Cox.049 throttle. It just isn't facing upwards.
I have a few Sure Start engines but are still in the bags they came in.





When it goes from idle to full throttle it sometimes sputters or once in a while quits.
It might work better on higher nitro but 15% is the highest I have on hand.

This seller has throttles for Tee Dee .020 / Tee Dee .049/.051
And the throttles for the Pee Wee 020 / .049 engines.




So, in total I did purchase/bid on one each of the Pee Wee carb, the .049 Baby Bee carb, Tee Dee 020 (lost -didn't win) and the Tee Dee .049 carb (need to take photo of that -- not run yet.)
And the total was well over $150.00 for it.
Have I purchased anymore Cox items from there? No.
Between Buyee (proxy buyer's fees) and the shipping costs, you really have to think about if you really want that item?
And the other thing to think about is, if there is a problem with the item, what is the return policy to the seller?

Do you have any vid of the Peewee running with the RC carb assembly, how well did it idle?

I recall the for bid / sale Japan website posting those pics and selling a few for the .020 and
also had the adapter for the .049 see below. Do you have the link still?


Pic from the site about 1.2yrs ago perhaps - didn't save the link.



 

No video --- sorry. I do have a digital camera (Cannon Powershot A40 -- 2.0 mega pixels)
No smart phone -- have answering machine and phone on the wall.
Not really a high-tech guy.

Looks like we have 10!

I'll get the poll setup in a little bit.


Which picture do you want me to use @sosam117?

Those standoffs are also good to retain the choke tube on a .049 Sure Start when bulkhead mounting.

Jacob,
Take the 1st photo with the front of the engine pointing at us.

Thanks so much for your work!
