Looks Good! I'm waiting for my 777 SP1 to arrive, it should be here either today or Monday, the V-Spec is on my short list of motors. For both our sakes I hope the weather warms up soon, it's about 10 degrees here today and my son has a new REVO under the tree that he's dying to run it this weekend.

don't run that pipe on that motor man.

save up and get your a2050 pipe
or even a 86 pipe but for sure a 2050 pipe.

that jp pipe is going to kill the power all the way around.

i beg to differ man- that pipe will work fine if you run on a big track? i run the JP1 and it rips butt. as ive stated before i raced a guy(same set-ups and bugs) and he had the 2050 and i took him on the straits and we was even on the rest. it wasnt driving styles if anything he is a better driver i just love the headder. "just because the manual recommends the 2050 you dont have to use it"... and when you break it in use a heat gun(cheap at menards$25) and get it up to 200deg
and crack the glow plug when you start it then tighten it up. use the p3 plugs(hot) it likes them and rc-mushroom has strips of 6 for $25 . also you can break it in -just put a sock around the head and heat the pipe and motor up. i just broke in another one and it was cold as heck out. i have about 4gal on my V and it still has a ton of compression. id heat it up for the 1st gal. and i havent touched my conrod. the jp2 is a high end pipe so if you want more low either get a jp1 or drop a tooth on the bell.

I too beg to differ. The JP-2 that is on my V-Spec has given it a world more power than the 2050 that I did have on. The JP-2 may not be race legal but it sure carries a sweet note that even the neighbours dont mind. It's robustness and VFM are just amazing.
