ok wow ok. WOW ok. WOW. Ran the LRP and um WOW. I was still running to rich and I think I pissed and **** myself. My Mach 427 running VERY lean doesn't come close to the same performance. Going to post a vid and at max I did like 3/4 throttle. On the speed runs only 1/2 not even. Was to scared to go full using only 1 hand.
I just checked I set my EPA to low so at most like 1/2 throttle.

Like I said the LRp will smoke the Mach. Put a good pipe, lean it out a little more and gear up and really watch it scream.

LOL I am! I did gear it up that is a 15T bell. If I leaned out the low speed I would be even more scared! Stock shoes BTW and NO wear after over 8 gallons. When I was running the clutch bell stayed pretty cool as well.

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
LOL actually its sold that video sold itself to be honest XD I will just get a new exhaust for the mach 427 and see how it does. I should jsut get a 2035 pipe as it worked VERY good but I can get a Losi HT pipe for only $20. I couldn't believe how the top speed was at only 1/2 throttle before I was making the video it was smooth for the first 30 seconds then I hear a pop noise all my tires were unglued LOL. Thats why in the video everything sounds so chattery. It's probably not good to especially considering the wheel bearings.
My friends engine head is all scratched up he needs to learn to PUT ON the body lol. With a pullstart it sucks though. I have another engine head which looks good I think it had a chip mark. I wouldn't worry about it though.

That glue must be good for alot of things [X(] I should buy it probably cheaper then CA glue and way more.
Not sure on the tiger drive but I think the roto start conversion is better. Doesn't a tigerdrive cost $30 anyway? Except this has the drill as well.

Just got the rotostart conversion - actually works really well. Very easy to use. Started right up first time.
Eric - man, I think I blew it by not buying that engine from you! Lol!

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
Hey Eric, I think it was your video I watched of breaking in your ST-1 on youtube...Im about to do that now, but it seems you differed from the manual. In #1 when you checked the temp were you running it into the wall? The manual said first tank FULL gas in a straight line or wide turn, 2nd tank 30 seconds half throttle, 30 seconds full throttle...is this the method I should use? I dont know how comfortable I am running it wide open having never driven one of these before.

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
I must have missed that part? LOL I do not recall it saying that are you sure? XD
Just drive it slowly for 5 tanks and after each tank let it cool down with the piston at bottom dead center. You can simply just remove the glow plug turn the flywheel from the bottom until you find the point where the piston looks like it is farthest away from the top of the cylinder and mark a line on the flywheel so you know where to set it after each tank. After 5 tanks you can start opening it up more. By tenth tank should be good.
