Default Who Ran What,,,,This Weekend?

Good Weather here in So Cal.....Got some Running Time in.....

Ran My MXT-2S......Still trying to find the Sweet Spot with my New Associated Pipe n Header....
I think the Giant Associated Pipe (from the Mini MGT) might be too Much Air flow for the Infinity engine......
Its INSANELY fast,,,,but only if I Lean it out too Much.....I Think the Viper Header might be a Better Fit........

Mostly, However,,,I worked on the Monsoon and Breaking in the New engine (That I Got for $99 ).....
Its the XTM pro Big Block......Seems like its gonna be a Good Fit (FAAST!) for the Truggy....

Saturday my wife and I went to a marriage renewal (talks, discussions with spouses, mass, renewal of vows, dinner). Really nice. Today, we spent the day at the soccer fields (my favorite place to be) at a tournament. Weather was great, but I had too many other things going on. I spent a bit of free time tearing down my Jato. I was out running with Phil G last week and smacked a landscape timber straight on at full throttle. Destroyed the front bulkhead, top plate and steering linkage and bent the chassis a little. Got it all apart and all the parts to repair. Now I just need the time. Also looking for an afternoon to spend breaking in the RXT. The wife and kids may be going out of town for a few days next week since the kids are out of school. So I may get some free time then.

Hi All
Same as last weekend down to the car park for some road rage
My car was handling like a pig due to putting in heavier shocks springs and not being properly set up
anyway another boring video if you jump 4min into the vid you will see the other guy,who is much better on the sticks than me
ring out his wind hobby dash (same as the himoto radipa)

Looks good sounds good nice vid. If your shock springs are too tough cut a coil off each one till you get the stifness you want.

Broke in my Syclone this weekend. Everything went great. Got to really try it out sat after it was broken in. Car ran great for a couple tanks then lost power after a stall. Feels like it's rich, no top end and a little sluggish. Batteries died soon I didn't have a chance to investigate...

You could need a new glow plug, alot of times they need to be replaced after break in.

Yea I was running a new one after break in. I took the old one out before I started my runs on the broke in motor. I'll try switching them up next time and see if there's a change, or grab a new one again...

Ok thanks.

I think that was it too. It was cold and I was running pretty cool. Once I Grab some fresh batteries and this weather clears I'll give it a try.
