Hi all. Well I had to miss round two of the GA Pro Series. That really sucked. But the nice thing is that only 2 of the 3 first races count I will just have to do really good at round three on May 3rd. On a plus note I was at the track today with a few local racers that did not race , so we got together and ran a few hours of test and tune. I am glad to say that I was running the fastest today, but most of the fastest local guys were out of town. The practice was good though and I was able to shave some time on my lap times and am getting much more consistant. I love this car.

LETS RACE!

Cool. I will do everything in my power to make round 3 and 4. Look for a fat man driving a blue Turmoil Pro. I run the sportsman class. Hope to race you.

Just got my turmoil pro but unfortanetly I made a noob mistake. I thought when it said just add your radio equip it meant TX/rx but apperently it meant servos to and I thought it came with a roto start. Guess Ill have to wait a few more days to get it going, I guess Ill take the time to take it apart and locktite everything. Anything else I should do to it while I have it apart?

The rossi 421b sets ahead 2 far and that makes the bell not mesh 100% with the spur gear. I have the mounts that lower the engines 4 the starter box now. I should have the new mount soon, I will let U no how it fits.

Thats odd Ive been running my rossi for over a month and havent had a single problem with it. I just switch out to a eb os vspec and no problem either. As far as starting it with a starter box I just went to a bligger flywell

I heard the higher the percentage makes engine life shorter. Is this true? Im asking because I just used the last of my top fuel 33% for my revo and since I bought a turmoil ARR and Im putting a new engine in the revo I mind as well use what the racers use.
