My talons and HPI V Groove low profile tires showed up last week and I finally had a chance to really find out what my Evader could do on pavement. Holy crap, once I had it dialed in, if I felt like a drift racer. My head temp maxed out at around 196 deg F (which I think is perfect). Is there a direct correlation to heat and running lean? The last thing I want to do is blow another rod.

I put through about 10 tanks of nitro. My starter box has some alignment issues, I need to pull the motor and get everything lined up better, I am running the vented flywheel, and I am hoping that this is not the problem. I have the power panel on the starter box, and when I crank it up to high, I can start this my car in no time. I am still trying to figure out the best combination of glow plug and fuel. I use 20% nitro, don't ask me why, I just figured more was better. I have used different plugs, Duratrax, OS, and I just bought some Fox plugs (I haven't tried these yet). Anyone have the best combo for bashing?
