On this vid i am at tank 17, the settings is still rich and i think it is shifting directly to 3 gear. It is snow in Norway so i have only been driving about 2 more tanks after this vid. Its not easy to tell if it performs better driving in snow, the engine has a lot more top end than this vid shows. It starts like a dream, its very easy to tune and no problems. I love this engine. It performs almost as good as my Collari 32 (the Collari is sent back to the factory for warranty repair).
The thing in front of the fuel tank is the HPI engine stopp system, works great.

If so, I'm very interested.

I feel the same way as biggen, it's no Collari as far as torque, that's for sure. I've got about a gallon thru my OS .30 and it's just not doing it for me. I had a friend video tape some runs with it and he kept saying your Mach ran better than that.

have you checked the head bolts? mine needed retorqued because it leaked.

I also had a leak because i tried to remove one of the head shims, i had to put both shims back on. IT was ok after that. This engine also likes a rich setting. My HSN is at the factory settings 2, 3/4t, it has lots of power.

hey guys,
i'm new here, and VERY new to RC cars (but totally addicted to them).
i was just wondering if it is possible to convert a pull start OS 30vg to a roto start for an LST2 and how I could do that? Can I just use the roto start plate from the mach 427?
forgive me if i am totally dumb, I really don't know much about this (plus i'm a girl )
cheers!

You will need the roto-start backplate.
