I just got back from Nor Cal. You should have sent it to me to run.LOL! Missed most of the racing as I didn't know they were racing. Next time.

Unlike you though mud means I stay home.

Houston, I'm just curious what your ultimate Truggy engine and pipe would be?

I've got a question about the 21-4t I got the other day from HES.
The engine was brand new and you could tell it had never been used or anything, but I was wondering why the seal on the box was broken and why the engines plastic bag it comes in was opened up?
I'm not complaining or anything just wondering.

I'm not Monty but I'm gonna guess he opened it up to inspect it before shipping, or he needed a part

out of all of them it would be the X7 Xtreme , houston tuned with 9853ss/41021 or 2084ss/41021 if you need that extra mileage

second would be the p5xlt , houston tuned , silicone filled crank , 17011 front bearing and ceramic f/r bearings , 9853ss/41021 for all out power and 2084ss/41021 for best power/mileage balance

pipes just went up a bit which is a bummer but that we have no control over

thats called quality assurance

if i find ANY issues inside or out on the engine they are fixed before they are sent out

hope this helps

i try to completely inspect every single engine that goes out but every once in a while i dont have the time , fortunately i did have the time on yours
