Is there any plans to strengthen the FunFactor/NX 11T/14T clutchbell? I've blown one and probably are going to blow a few more with this new engine...


BTW: FunFactor is a great platform. Mine is still rockin', and aside from the clutchbells, is lovin' this OS power. All these years and multiple crashes tumbles and cartwheels have yet to crack a control arm, bend an axle or tweak the chassis, so props to ya'll. Those shock towers are kinda flimsy tho, but being aluminum, I just bent mine back out and went back to driving.


Another thing: Did you guys know that the NT16's block isn't ported for the sleeve? When I tore my NT16 down, I could see a stain where the oil in my fuel had passed through a transfer port that didn't line up with any ports in the block. This led me to believe that serious power gains could be made by cutting this port into the block and allowing it to function. Aside from that and it's leaky backplate bushing, it was a great engine. Could you doublecheck and make sure the NT18 that replaced it has this port cut into the block? Great engines, but low on power and slightly leaky.
