+1 seen that tanks mod :nod:frank see what people are replacing them with and go with it ...i seen jyfz2 battle ae tanks for a season ...cuz everybody bought the xray tanks cuz they work ....dont know if the xt8 tanks will work though:tire:

Has anybody try the extech .21 with a 2053 pipe with either long or short manifold ?????:confused::confused:

as soon as mine comes back from powerhouse rc performance ...its getting a grp 2053 pipe ...be awhile but im hoping on chads recomendation it works ...i think it will work pretty well on the motor ....:nod:

Chad, whats up budy still working, sorry I have to go play now keep up the great work.;):sneaky::nod::tire::ha:

Tim - stop and say hi to my parents lol :)

Zixxer - what are you having done to the engine?

marks full mod ...mine was a pre run tuned so it hasnt been modded .....here ya go ....read alot of good things about mark ...he has some radical ideas that are backed up by fact ...in stead of just my motors are the baddest ones on the block mentality ...hes done a hand full of the extechs and is getting great results ...against fully modded eb extechs ....he has only done his race port on the extechs ....mine he said will be the first to get the full mod heres his site and you can see what he does ......

www.powerhousercperformance.com

i have not seen a bad comment about his mods anywhere ....:)lemme know what ya think...and p.s. his customer service is the best i have exp. in rc ...well except for your quick response to my pm :cool:

I have a Trinity platinum Drake edition. I want to get an extra P/S and sleeve for it. This being a Picco based motor thats no longer in production. Does anyone know what Picco it was based on and what other P/S will fit it. You know like if you have an RB S series all S series P/S are interchangeable. I really like this engine and I want to have some additional modding done to a new p/s. Or maybe even try a different port count.

P.s. I know someone is going to say call Trinity. I did and they never answered the phone or It goes to there voice mail that's full.

Lets us know how your full mod turns out. His site looks like he does some pretty radical mods.

i sure will chambers ...his porting especially the crank cheek turboing does look radical ...i had been looking at some of his stuff for about a year ....i finally got on email with him and he explained it to me in a way that made sense ...and if you read through his 2 stroke basics it comes a little clearer ....he said his drivers that have the .24"s are getting 12 minutes runtime on a decent race tune .....he is also very concerned to know every aspect of what your running down to clutch shoes springs ,pipes ,fuel, track ....so he can actually port your motor to what you run ...not just a generic port job .....i will definitely post up ...allthough it will be a while as i still havent got the motor back and i have a grp to finish up break in on .....

I think I'm the only one not having good luck with the .21 pre-run. This motor gets great reviews and I would like to add to that sometime.

One problem I'm having now is chattering coming off throttle. To me this is a sign of the bottom being too lean. Even with the LSN being rich (backed out slightly past flush with housing ) it still does it. Actually, the HSN is slightly rich too. Maybe it's an air leak? Any ideas?

Chattering? Do you mean it sounds as though the motor is cutting out?

Revs high with an inconsistant rhythm for a few seconds then goes back to an idle.

I would go to stock settings and check your idle gap, it can really throw off the tune if it is set incorrectly and it sounds as though you are plenty rich. Have you read the plug at all?

Also what plug are you running?

i had a similar problem with my original first run extechs and i had to seal up the carb neck, seal th epinch bold, and put a small zip tie on the carb boot. after i did this i replaced and check all my fuel line, fuel filters, and tank(rc8 nuff said) and it was fine. also mine was not shimmed properly for 30% in the first run of engines so i was running a p7 and once i shimmed it properly and went to a p4 it was golden. hope this helps.
