Status: offline 		lol well today i used my leaf blower! i cant beleive i never thought of it before, it blows more air harder then any air compressor ive seen. It took every spec of dirt off the entire car. Then i just ran the tires under water and put tire shiner on them. The car looks the same as it id outa the box. I didnt get to drive my monsoon this morning tho. I have the crappy glow plug ignitor that comes with the cheap beginner starter kits. I had a good hot shot glow plug ingitor, but left it at my local track and never saw it agian.

Status: offline 		The fang cuts on the transfer ports smooth out the boost port with a radius and round out the bottom of the sleeve.Next I want to epoxy fill the crank and open up the center.That should increase the fuel mileage even more.It was not hard at all.I was not too happy with the crome job on the sleeve it look cheap but seems to hold up.

Status: offline 		Thats a hard question, because i run wide open almost all the time! So, my fuel tends to be used up quickly when bashing. Racing is a little different as i don't drive nearly as hard.

Status: offline 		thats what i was going to say, it really depends on your dirving habbits, track or bash, off or on road, temprature and humidity, needle settings, there are alot of variables to tank time. i would say anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes, it really depends

Status: offline 		Any body racing the monsoon at and track days? Hopefully will be racing mine soon at clermont hobby's track when he starts having races. Would like to know what different setups people have for the monsoon that race on tracks. No basher setups please, I do not think that would help me on the track LOL!

Status: offline 		Well just after watching the clermonts new video and seeing my front tires ballooning up which I did not notice so much I went ahead and changed my diff fluids from 5-7-3 to 10-30-3 and see how it goes this week. Hope it will make it turn better too, has some push coming out of the turns.

Status: offline 		Just put a set of 15mm hub extensions on my monsoon. Makes it a WIDE TRACK monsoon. LOL. Hopefully will make it handle better in the turns by lowering the center of gravity. They were the ofna wheel extensions and the only mod I had to do was to drill out the whole for the pin a little larger to fit. These are before and after photos.

Status: offline 		Any one tried an OS 30VG on their Monsoon yet? I just put one on mine but have not started it yet. It dropped right in place of the old engine. Had to take a couple of shims out to get the bell to spin free is all.
