Casper - Haha, thanks. I've been running MC59's in both .12's and .21's.
stump - Thanks! That's always a big compliment from people that I try to help.
Factory Seal - Thanks! The problem with big races like that, is you'll have 50 people who rightfully expect to be in the top 15. Then you always have racers who felt like they came up short!
M2 Driver - Look into the Trinity Adam Drake Signature Series engine, not the Platinum one. They're really mild and easy to drive, get better fuel mileage than the O.S. motors did, and can be tuned to make good power when you are ready for it.
Side exhaust motors tend to have less bottom end, and more top. A-9347 is the part number for the Losi hard-anodized rear exhaust header, which comes in the AD2 kit.
