I have a lrp spec 3 on the way. I understand that the lst2 rotostart will fit (with minor modifications) on the spec 3. Will the flywheel/clutchbell assembly fit directly on ? extra shimming needed?
-Is there any other ¨rotostart¨ type starting devices available?
-What else do I need to install this engine into the lst2.
I just want to make sure I have everything when the engine arrive

thanks

Yes the rotostart fits, you just have to elongate the hole on the rotostarter plastic fascia.

Its always a good idea to have some extra shims lying around to shim the clutch bell just right.

It will bolt right up with no problems, no extras needed, but like i said always have some extra shims, cuz you might need em.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer. I cant wait to get it...[sm=tired.gif]

prepare to be blown away by that motor, are you going to heat cycle it for the break in? I did a total of 25 heat cycles slowly working my way up to 230 degrees, it takes a while, but it is very very worth it.

mgollain

I never did the heat cycle method but I heard good things about it, I'll have to find all the info on it and will probably go that way.

mikewoodkozar

it is "the only way" to go

what ever happened to the 3-5 tanks idle on shoe box then 1\4 th on circles and so on?

mikewoodkozar

you are kidding right?

mgollain

Does the LRP likes 20% nitro or I'm better with 30%? for 30% does it need another shim or it's ready out of the box?

I run 30% in mine and they do not need extra shimming.

mikewoodkozar

agreed, i am using Sidewinder 30% race blend and it is working very very well with no additional shims needed
