My new Matrix ARR
#26
Jadda, the buggy is looking REALLY nice. I love the contrast of the red with the darker colours. I think your diff oil selection is very heavy though. A 'normal' type of set up would be 3000 front, 7000 or 10,000 centre and 1000 rear. The 3,7,1 combination is the base recommendation for the GS Storm. Hope this helps.

Thanks Scouser!
My diff setup is now 5000 front 5000 center and 1200 rear. I haven't been able to run it on a track yet so this is just a basic setup that a lot of CEN pro drivers use.
The other diff setup was for the winter race, 100000 front 100000 center and 5000 rear. But i will not run the winter race that's way I did go with the basic setup.
But thanks for you help!!!

You will love you OPS torque engine.They are very smooth motors.They have a ton of top and bottom end power.It will also last you a long time.Just break it in right,dont drive it real hard for the first gallon.After that,let it rip.when you are getting close to 2 gallons,this is when it will reach its maximum performance.Try to run the motor from 180 to 190 degrees F.That is where they run best.On the pipe,try running one 3 mm shim.That is what Chris Crews and I run.It works awesome.Just thought I would tell you that I think the motor is awesome and give you a few tips on it.Any questions,Let me know.

Thanks Corey for all the help!
I started break in today +2 degrees outside celsius and snow on the ground. The engine fired right up with no problem heat cycle for 4 tanks, but when I was refueling for the 5 tank my glow heater went dead

So now continue tomorrow!!
This engine is a beast can't wait to tune it
