I got that grease from our LHS. Perhaps you could try emailing RCCarinternational or the other HK websites.

I fitted the engine last night - boy, I forgot how much I hate setting up the clutch! I only had to shim the thrust bearing with a 0.1mm shim.
Now all that's left is the fitting of the two servos and the RX unit

Perhaps after some runs when everything else in the clutch settles in, you need to put more shims inside. This is what I found on mine.

Do you put more than 0.5 mm shim behind the brass collet near the front engine bearing? Did you tighten the clutch nut to the flywheel hard enough?

Good luck with those. That would take some time to get it perfect too.

This would really be classified as torture if I hadn't signed myself up for it!

Motivation isn't a problem for me - it comes down to self pride: I never give up. I can forget about wining these races, as quite a few of the professional riders take part - I've got no chance against these guys. Me best result so far is 120th place from 5500 starters - good enough for me!
