1, The adapter for the ST has a channel cut into it. The channel goes to the stock intake (center in front of the cylinder). JB Weld holds it together. The adapter is actually two pieces interference fit and JBW. The first intake allowed fuel to collect in a cavity that has been filled by the "second Piece". It took several seconds for the engine to respond because of the fuel collected in the cavity. As I mentioned before this engine runs like the Stock version.

Gas problems! I do not know what oil is in my Traxxas Top Fuel and my gas may be older than I realize.
