well i need a new piston and liner(i got one just need to get the correct fuel for running in this time!)
when i got the engine there was no run in instructions so i broke it in like a normal nitro,on 15% with 8% synthetic and 8 % castor..now its too bedded in,no compression,now i find out you must break them in on no less than 20% castor with no synthetic and max 10% nitro..o well.

it runs good but keeps cutting out because of lack of compression.but pretty quick tho :)

runs good,nice and reliably,ticks over well,drives well,could probably do with a bit more top speed maybe as i think its undergeared..but im allready on the 55t spur and 18 pinion,may have to see if i can squeeze a 22 on :)
to be honest i dont actually use it lol...im more of a 'make it then get bored guy' hehe
its sat on my shelf in the modelroom now gathering dust lol
