HMMMM where to start.. Well today I was out bashing the GT and ran into some troubles. A bit about the car first, RC10GT full ball bearing, OS .12CVX(Iknow kinda weak), MIP pipe, and K&N Filter.
Anyway I was running in gravel for the most part, and hitting a small yet acrobatic sand pile, she was running top notch. I was on the 3rd tank of fuel when I hit the sand pile, soared about 3-3½ feet in air and about 6-7 feet out off the top of the pile. The last time I hit it it landed fine and flat, moved about 3 feet after the landing and a loud pop occured and she quit. I only ran full throttle in short bursts(4-7 seconds) and gave it 20-30 seconds in between full bore. Visually nothing is broke and the piston moves freely yet still tight at the top. I don't even have a full gallon of fuel thruogh this engine. But she won't start. Break in was done properly as i took about 8 tanks during the break in procedure. The car is fine tuned and was even richened up a bit to compansate for the cooler weather, tried to lean it out a bit to see if she would go but to no avail. Guess tomorrow before I head to get the TMaxx I should pull her apart and get parts as needed. I need a new clutch anyway, any particular clutch I should look into. Also thought about a different engine, what would you recomend???, I was thinking the Mugen MT12, comments welcome..
