Monty, would you also recommend the 086 for the N21RL on a tighter track layout? I thought the 086 was more hi-rpm-oriented...
thanks :) Trying mine with 9901 for a maiden race this weekend. it still pinches a *bit* at TDC but it's almost there after 3L+ of fuel. I ditched the POS stock carb though and put my Plus4's on it, the idle screw is a PITA to get to... Hopefully I can find someone to help me tune this baby at the track as I'm really hopeless with engine tuning :rolleyes: Paul |

Haven't talked to you since last Friday, Cade has a good race weekend in San Antonio last weekend. He raced in the City Shootou between Austin and San Antonio Texas. Typical Texas heat hovering around 100 all day with dry technical track. San Antonio always does a great job with there races and this one alot of fun. Cade qualified for A in arena truck and finished 4th at the end of the 30 minute main. The P5XLT was great all day. Cade really likes this motor! Buggy was different battle all together. Very technical layout for buggies and he worked hard for his qualifying spot and made it in the A but we had fuel line problems during A so it kept us from getting a good finish. Got him back out and he finished 8th. The last 10 minutes he worked on his whips XGames style on their big front double lol. He and Mike Battaile had a little contest going on at the end of the race. He also finished 2nd with his SCRT10, need to get a nitro version and throw a Nova in it soon! Thanks for the help as always Jon & Cade What do you use to clean the inside of engines before you put them back together and what lune do you use? |

from everything I have seen putting the shimming up to .8 is going to hurt bottom end not help it...... Maybe I am wrong here, but I have never seen an engine gain bottom end by lowering compression ..... The stock FMS runs a pretty low trapped compression ratio to begin with, if it was me I would be reducing the shim stack, not adding to it if your looking for more bottom end......... sorry to butt in !
