rpm all around
tekno wing mount with hell fire wing
hs 5645 for steering stock for throttle
proline crime fighters with 40 series rims
aluminum hexes
rdlogic cvds all the way around
forward only conversion
racers edge fuel filters for pressure and fuel lines
brake and steering mods done

failsafe, dont remember what brand
and the PICCO monster

i have a few questions also...
1. what is the best method to break this motor in with?
2. does someone have a good link on how to seal an engine?
3. whats the best glow plug to run with it?
4. are the stock settings the same as the trx engines?


any suggestions?

heat cycle the first tank or 2 then proceed with Traxxas method stretching it out to 10 tanks.....always putting the piston to BDC after every run......thats what i did and I have over 2 gallons on this engine and the pinch is still very difficult to turn over by hand..
To seal it look on you tube they have a few video lessons....its easy just apply small amounts of RTV sealant to the baclplate,carb neck and pinch bolt....some guys do the needles as well but I prefer using some green slime on the needle O rings as a sealant.

I run OS LC3 plugs in this engine with Sidewinder 20% and have great luck...SOme guys are using the Mccoy # 59 plug.

The stock settings are in your manual for that engine they are differant than the TRX engines.

Make sure your slipper and gear mesh are set correctly or you will tear up stuff.....also put a Throttle return spring on.

Do a heat cycle method, your gonna spend a gallon breaking the picco in anyways,
Don't do the 10 tanks super rich like traxxas says,
