Brent I am going to put red locktite on my engine mount bolts. I don't plan on doing any lighting to the chassis because I know the chassis is going to be over powered anyway with this .28 motor. I am going to try a tuned pipe from a boat motor on my LRP .28. I think this car had alot of potential that associated did not develope. Too bad the did not design a stronger pinion, diff gear setup it should hold up for draggin but for road racing where the race last for 30 min or longer the diff is known to fail.
I used red loctite before and it actually stripped some threads before so now I use the blue which is less forgiving.

Now tell me about that .28 motor. Is it a high revving mill that is more powerful than a .21? How much are they and are they very popular today? What is the fastest that you know of one of those .28 motors? What is your goal with yours?

I never knew that the diffs used to go out at races. That is interesting to know that I wasn't going crazy myself.
