Status: offline 		Hey dude... if money is not an option there are some good big blocks around the 350.00 price


the Picco P9
the OS VZR P
the Serpent mega ZX21 DSII race
the Axial
all of the motors ARE non PULLSTART!!! because there are all compotition motors and thats a dragster... if you need help lets talk, I know a little something enough to get you where you want to go

are you kidding me???if you ever get your hands on a RB Xeon R you will throw that back in the pile... Bill from Litespeed Enginerring mods...But to each his own...(no harm, just from research) from the manufactures thats if you want to spend the money.
I have 2 and use 55%@ 6% oil in the both of em remember it cause to be fast!!!

Status: offline 		is your Xeon RB modded???it has to be the on road R not the boggy Xeon...theres a guy with IMRDA drag took the stock Xeon R and cut a 1.67 out the box non moded...now just think if it was moded like you just said that your 35plus21 is moded I have 2 mods and in a rail it will go a 1.4? BUT to each is own
