Motor was excellent when it was running @ 130 Deg C - hot!!!!! :eek: but the LSN tuning seems really critical - I eventually had it turned out 1.25 turns and then I could pull away nicely and not have the engine keep cutting out!

Oh man - I'll have to see if I can rescue the chassis some how - it's the 705s 4mm one, so maybe I can bend it back into shape. It's only the very end which is bent up. Are these things fixable?

Sorry about your accident Mark. One good thing is the 710 chassis is a lot cheaper than the Impulse Pros and 705s.

I'm about to lower my engine by grinding the engine mounts by about 1mm. I had some trouble with the Powerstart wheel reaching the flywheel at times over the weekend. Is 1mm seems the amount to grind away from the engine mount legs?

Unfortunately (or fortunately) it was the 705 chassis :( :cry:
I've had no problems with the powerstart and my 710 - are you using the adapters (the pieces onto which the car sits) which came with the 710 kit?

Hudy (I don't know, this is just an example...)seems to be one of those people who have an American car, and he writes a letter to the Import mags. saying how much imports suck and how good American cars are...the real question is why are you reading the import mag in the first place. I hated my old HPI RS4...you don't see me in there talking about it.

Is it any good.
I should probably just stick with my digital caliper.



If I remember the guy selling this tool said that it would not fit the 710 centax only the 1&2 ?

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.Man you haven't had any luck with new motors lately huh.Well thats why I love my synthesized units no crystals to fall out. But hope all is well and no severe damage.

1 thing for sure, more headache :nod: :lol:

BTW, I dont think no team driver was using it.
It only used for basic installation. On track condition, we play with this setting so often to adapt /matching engine power and track condition.
And most of us dont take the engine off to adjust this play.

Is it uncle Sow?

:lol: :lol: :lol: I like the way you express it all in a clear crystal fashion! :lol: :lol: :lol:

My bad...I should have seen it...705 chassis.

On my Powerstart I'm using the adaptor plates that come with the kit. The rubber wheel will hit the flywheel 75% of the time. But at time I just couldn't get it going. Grinding the engine mount should improve the CG too, right?

Cheers, Mark.

Everyone else welcomed too. :)

rwisejr, what synthesized units are you using with your 3PK? I thought they're not out yet.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Yes, you can bend it back if its just the front part. No worries, just pay attention to your tweak afterwards. ;)
