he races at dirtburners brah'...053 was really good there.....it's all I ran last season.

Trevor , get him pointed in the right direction , you the man !!

Wish you were here dawg!!!!

dawg i thought that was a southern term....hellz yea

This track is haaaaaaarrrdddd!!! Dam!!

LMAO good luck Monty

Monty, the motor is running great.

if the stroke of a BF is 16.42 how is it possible to use a crank from the p5 which the stroke is 16.80

You are lookin at the old bf which used the 07030 rod

the crank dimensions are the same the difference is in the rod ??

I'm looking at a black head Bf Limited purchased about 6mos ago perharps if that helps any..

monty, what springs do you run on a standard 3-shoe clutch on p5's?

btw, hope you're having fun at the pit!

finally got to race the hybrid p5 this weekend...that thing gots some bottom..we tried 086/long header combo it was good but the fuel milage was not there...i am pointed to the loose dry track for that. used a 6.5 insert but it did not feel like the topend was there, at least like i was expecting...any ideas? thanks

Hey guys,
Hey Monty,
i saw your name on one of the mains from the nitro challange, was it the Z main ??? just kidding.

well i raced my HES P5 last friday for our 5th race. the temp that day was wierd because midday the temp was around 90F and when the Amain's time arrived, the temp dropped to 65F. engine ran like a champ at 240F all day long and qualified 2nd for the Amain. after 4 or 5 practice laps before the Amain, the temp was 220, so i richened the engine (stupid thing of me) to be in the safe side for the 45minutes Amain. well the car flamed out of fuel at 7 minutes because of my bad tune judgment. restarted, retune and hit the track again, still in the rich side, repit, retune and back again. after a flame out and 2 unwated pit stops, i was one and a half laps behind the leader and was in 7th place. it took me a while to get to 3rd position and then to 2nd with a lap behind. arriving to the last lap, i was 2 seconds under and man what a stupid mistake i did by flipping on one of the easiest sections of the track but what the Hell, this is racing.
i finished in 2nd place with a very good best lap time, changing from my Plus 4 to Monty's P5, i shaved 1.5 secs of my season's best lap time.
i ran it with a 3005 pipe, 7mm rist and a stock Losi clutch, the bottom end is crazy fast and response is crazy fasta, the top (well i dont know since i finished on the rich side)
Monty i love the engine and i think i'm getting another one for this years WC



cheers

Ali

I run a hot mod p5xs with the same pipe combo as you and mine rips from bottom to top. I would try a short header to get more top end.

How much fuel have you run in the engine?All my novas never woke up until about 1 1/2 to 2 gallons ,then it was a differant animal.

Guys,

I'm thinking of using the Plus 21-4 2009 TUNED Edition for the Xray XT8 truggy. I have an old, but in great shape Jammin JP-2 Pipe with header I'd like to use. Any issues?

Thanks...
