Thanks alot!

What's strange is that when I searched for TRX 2.5 racing engine, there were no search results. But when I tried your link, It worked, Eureka! Thanks alot (I really mean it)

P.S. Usually I just say thanks alot to people, but I don't really mean it , your thanks is different

Thanks for the invite. So in Miller Field, M0rning next Sunday. Got it. I'll try to come (I emphasize try). I want to come so badly. But the problem is, is that I won't be able to drive my RC Car cause my engine is, well, broken. That's why I want the TRX 2.5 cause I want a reliable engine. I even had a good air filter, and a fuel filter. But when I kept starting the engine, it dies right away. I kept all of the needle settings the same as the day before, and the engine ran perfectly. I looked in the Carb and even rebuilt some parts of the engine. And guess what, It didn't start again.

The other problem is that I won't get to get my engine until june. so I might just go to see you guys. k?

Get a Fantom .15. Way less finicky, and just as much power.

if it started yesterday but not today, you sure your engine is toast?
did you go through the usual trouble shooting?
did you run it real lean the day before it wouldnt start?
u got a lhs you can bring it to and maybe they can get it started?
