Do the front cups as well it cant hurt in my opinion you would want to change the grease regularly or your going to turn it into grinding paste

Also do ya put the grease in after the heat shrink has been applied?

Also should i do this to the fronts aswell?


Cheers

Dude, it's usually easier to apply the grease first. You don't need to apply any over abundance, you know like a grease zerk when it spews out all over. And if your heat shtink slides forward sort of easy, then you need a smaller size of shrink tubing. Usually the best stuff is at a good eletronics store, it's the softer type that shrinks twice as much as that harder "plastic" type of shrink tubing. I actually had to cut off the one I showed you guys in the pic that I posted. You know that white piece. I couldn't budge that puppy at all. So better to play it safe and find the right size or type of shrink tubing. You might need to try a few different types till you find the right stuff, tons of different ones out there. But try and look for the softer versions like I mentioned. I hope this makes sense bro! It's about 3:40 AM and me brain is getting mushy.

Dude, better yet, come on over and bring you car. (Both of them) and I will get you car set up like you have never seen. You need to invest in some "Serpent" cleaning gum to keep that car spotless at all times. I'll give you some if you can make it over. Just use Mapquest.

Frankie, I am trying to find an article written by Josh Cyrul for the final breakin of your soon to be pride and joy. Afterall Josh is TQ at the Winter Nats currently. So it's a easy and VERY proven method of breakin. I just need to do a little searching, but I'll find it. Unless someone else here knows what I am talking about. It would be easier to send you the link then me describe it myself. So are you comming over or what. Pick up Pattojrn on the way dude! SWEET!!!!! Heres a picture of that cleaning gum that you will learn to fall in love with! Later my friend form way the heck down under!!!!

Yeah bro, I'm ready to call it a night. As far as Paris racing, Ron Paris was more less the GOD of engine tuning and everything else to do with nitro on road engines.

The Last race I attended in Las Vegas back in Oct. was the 5th Paris memorial race in memory of Ron Paris. He was a true icon to this sport. I got to meet him about 7 years ago before he past away. So following everything on that link is PERFECT!!!! I'm so glad you found it and are doing your research. With a proper breakin, you'll have a faster, more dependable motor that lasts for litterally years. I've heard that using over 10 Gallons of fuel is not uncommon at all. I've even heard stories of up to 13 gallons. Is that like 11 or 12 liters? Sorry, they only teach the metric system here in the states for about an hour in 4th grade.

The one thing you will NEED to do to even get that engine to turn over is heat up the head with a hair dryer. The pinch on that motor is unreal. Your piston will get stuck at TDC quite often. Just be persistant. I have heard that the piston can get stuck after 2 gallons through that beast. The only thing I would suggest is to change the con rod every 1-1.5 gallons to get that many miles out of your engine.

I'll check my MSN messanger and see whats up with it. I've been on this pc all night. I just can't type nearly as fast as you bro. But hopefully we can catch up tomorrow my friend. I have tons of tips that I will be giving you. Sweet bro. Take care my friend. LATE!!!

Default RB Websight

Frankie and everyone else, here are the engines I run. It seems as though not too many of you are familliar with RB, the engines range from mild to totally balistic. I've been racing with RB for over 10 years and never had an engine failure, Very fast, consistant and reliable engines! Take a look at the site, it's got some great information regarless of what engine you run. Enjoy!
