Default RE: HK-450GT CCPM Alloy T-Rex compatible - Part III

Seeing as the weather is pretty bad for heli flying here at the moment, I decided to spend some time on my HPI Savage Monster truck. I was a bit angry with myself when Ifound out last week the engine had locked up due to lapsed maintenance. I try and put a few drops of oil in the engine every few months and turn it over but I guess it wasn't enough. Anyway, Ifreed it up as it wasn't that bad. It fired up first pull so all good.

When Iwas racing Iwas using 30-40% Nitro but I was a tightass and only got 20% to play around with so it needed some tuning. Had to lean out the high speed needle and richen up the low speed...got it running pretty good. It started raining so Ihad to bail.

I never want to have a nitro engine in a heli that's for sure. I did a bit of a viddy with the #16 cam, sorry it's a bit chopped up as I was just tuning it in between the rain showers.
