Very nice Brent, coming along nicely. Good luck with the testing.
Thanks man. I got alot done today with getting the wheelie bar mount installed, I got the body decaled, holes cut and mounted. Tomorrow I go to my local HS to get a $119 high torque digital throttle/brake servo, a $99 Futaba FS303 digital RX, a $45 Hi-Tec HS5085 MG steering servo, new fuel line, air filters and other odds and ends. I will get those things installed and then test the car at my job since we have a 800' x 100' wide warehouse that is smooth as silk. I just have to put some sticky stuff down to make a few test hits and then wait for the tracks to open here. I sure hope it runs as well as it looks to do so.
Very nice and clean build Brent. I looks well thought out. With the carbon fibre chassis and no rear bulk heads, on the surface it looks a bit lighter than the Walbern, even with the slightly heavier side pipe. You weight them both yet? I'm sure you have the matched pipe for your engine which IMO is better than the Macs as who knows the perfect length to cut those for max power, the sweet spot is small, and every engine is different. That along with the more efficient transmission and the very short header to get on the pipe quicker and for more top end, could prove to be a great combination.
If you don't get any rear chassis flex, this is gonna be one of your best projects, and you gonna run some great times to prove it.
I am taking the same route with the matching engine pipe combo. I have seen and read enough now to convince me that faster spool up and rpm with the right amount of torque, not over powered, but a good power to weight ratio yields the best results. Keep me posted on the test runs, and also let me know how the dual head button tests come out. As you know Rick is already doing my RB V15 and I have spoken to him about getting a kangaroo done later this month. I may do the head button as well, if the tests prove to make more power without impacting tuning.
Good luck man..
