Cool, I have been running the WS7 crank in my Hobby 9 for about a month now. The crank was fairly new, I bought it for my modded S7 I have.

Hello gofast,
I am getting 10-11 mins with 25% Byrons Pro fuel, 7mm restrictor, and exhaust cooler. Engine is so smooth and the power is there when you need it.
I'm planning on getting another one very soon and sending it out to ABmods for stage 2 modification.

Your K9 looks awesome !!!! I am about to do some R+D with its sister engine the JLR......How is the wear on the engine, I hear the new billet piston holds its pinch for quite some time....

Thanks! I tell you what Maximo I have at least 3 gallons on my Killer 9, when its cold its hard as hell to rotate the flywheel from under the chassis. Temps are always low too, 200 to 220 f

Holy crap! I just checked the price of the Force JL rod, $23.76 at Nitro House. I gotta order one!

I think the C6 has a little more bottom end but the Killer 9 more top.

Since alot of guys are saying that the parts are interchangeable. Has anyone tried running a WS7 crank in a S3?

It will work, I am running a WS7 crank in my Hobby 9 (S5).
S3, S5, and S7 all share the same crank.

whats up with the guy standing on a table on the drivers stand? usually we only let short drivers (kids) have a stand. nothing like trying to see the track with somebody's m11 in your way. i see than i move down a couple spots.

Hahaha funny guy, the race is postponed until next week I read. If we get some better weather this week maybe you, Ofir, and I can go practice at BD. But you can't show up at 4:00pm, cause it gets dark around 4:30.
