| Your engine should fit. The only different between the EVO30 & EVO50 is the linkages.

That's not exactly true. There are some other differences. The gear ratio and motor mount are different. My EVO started life as a 30 with a TT39 and it fits just fine. I have since upgraded it to a 50 (there is an upgrade kit available for about $70, but it doesn't include the push-pull linkages. Those have to be ordered separately).
I had a Venture 50 for a little while, too. I flew it about a dozen times. It's a good helicopter and I liked it, but it's in a different class than the EVO. The Yugo/BMW comparision is a bit of an exaggeration, however. Think of the Venture as a Ford and the EVO as a BMW. The Venture isn't exactly bottom of the barrel, but's a cheap helicopter with lots of corners cut. It flies well, but can't be compared to the combined agility and stability of the EVO.
