I suppose I'll put on the "good" engine if you're racing

It will be the first race for the Snaker since the last one rained out..

quick question for you .46 guys - will the AX muffler fit the FX case? I picked up a nice clean used engine a while back, and I think it's an FX, but the muffler looks like the more square AX type.

Just wondering if I have one that someone swapped a muffler on. We don't race .46's here, so it's not a question of whether or not it's "legal" for races, just a curiosity.

Sorry Fizz, I have no idea, and my motors are boxed up somewhere and not easy to get at.

I will be seeking R200 tails

good luck to all of you - so far both of our 424 races in the area have been rained out this year, one in Kansas City (27 entries!) and one at Hillsdale lake (~17 entries, down because of conflicts with graduations). Next one is June 5th in Wichita, we hope that one doesn't get rained out!

As far as I know the mufflers are interchangeable.. I've seen guys running the FX muffler on the AX because it's a little lighter..

Wonder if that's how I ended up with an FX with an AX muffler?

What props are you guys running on the FX and AX .46's?

OK OK here I am, You will see the R-200 tails twice during the race, once on take off and than again when you are being lapped.
Are you bringing that engine that sounds like it has a nelson sleeve and piston or a legal one OS 46?
Are you still on Team Dremel?
Good Luck to you and the Leeker!!!!!!
