Monty what would you recommend in buggy? HES 21 plus 4 team or HES Fusion X7 ? I'm guessing 41021/9901SS for header and pipe. Thanks.

Still looking for a good deal on a 21-4 carb for my Crono RS5.

that's kind of a toss up , I have been using the plus 4 since it came out in the buggy but after using the x7 in the buggy , man its a tough call

if you like a little extra power that definitely goes to the x7

Default Funny stuff....

My favorite hobby shop sponsor Joe hooked me up with a plus4 team fresh in the box, and when I showed it to my girlfriend, by the way she knows more about rc cars than a lot of guys, and is the best pit girl ever. Last weekend she said, why don't you try the flower tires? The Losi digits....My friends got a kick out of it, she was kidding with us...and dang if they weren't perfect for the track....anyway, When I showed it to her the first thing out of her mouth was "Are you going to send it to Monty and get it fixed up?" It's killin me....I really want to, but just need to be conservative right now with money...I just thought you would like to hear that......Ur famous with the ladies......

Monty motor ran great again today man.! I qual 3rd 1sec even off TQ and just by a small margin from 2nd. Had to go home to the women since storms where on the way but i really need calm this thing down lol.... Im loving the power though SCREAMS in all honesty i feel like i have a collari onroad motor on my offroad buggy. Now that brings me to this im running a 1.0 all aluminum setup on my losi ASCENDING clutch. Im thinking of switching to all carbon shoes with a green and gold combo do you think this will calm the wheel spin down a good bit but not be to sluggish on take off?
