The motor should have at least 85lbs of compression, if its anything lower its trashed! He can buy a cheap compression gauge a Pep Boys, you need a 10mm nipple for the plug threads. That was a brand new engine that I installed. It only had 2 gallons of fuel through it. Tony can rebuild it for him if he damaged it.

cars
I have an FG sportsline electric 4WD, I'm buying the same car in Gas this week and I have another 2wd electric but I don't know the manufacturer?? I bought it off ebay a year or so ago. It's all aluminum, but I really have no Idea.
I think my buddy was down there for the race a few weeks ago, Tom Baffer. Said he had a blast!!! I'm lookin to get the electric car on a track and see how it would work. I've been running it in parking lots and getting a little bored!!! I've been racing rc compettitively for 20+ years so bangin around a parking lot by myself isn't cutting it anymore!!!
I'm curious as to how fast your guys cars are?? I want my Electric to be the same speed, right now my car tops out around 47mph, do I need to go faster or slower?? It does have insane acceleration, it gets to top speed in 2-3 seconds.
I'm getting the Gas car too so I can play with both???

The electric car is pretty nice, I swapped out the stock motor and speedo and dropped in a castle 2028 and a monster Xl2 speedo, It's much better than the stock setup. I can easily make a 10 minute qualifier, and I thought the mains were 20 minutes? I could prob inc battery capacity to make 20 minutes but definitely not 30. Thats why I'm getting the gas car so I can race!!
For the gas car, what are the popular mods as far as for speed? pipe? clutch? gearing?

OK good to know, not looking to be a speed demon but want to be competitive, I race a lot of on road, 8th 10th and 12th so technical is what i like!!! I'm getting the FG 4wd short wheelbase car, with the porsche body. I've been racing for 20+ years so I know that setup is more important than speed. I'll give it a go at first with the stock setup, but I know from 12-13 years ago running one of the older FG cars that the Mech brakes fade pretty quickly during a race.
