Hey Monty, what are the carb settings for race tune on a plus4C? I want to see if I am in the ball park with were I am at. Also does the OD 97t work as well as the c6tgc?

There is no way I can answer that but a good base setting is 4.25 lsn and 3.25 hsn ,


Pipes/plug/clutch/fuel/chassis/clutch etc. are all factors ;)

Called and talked to Monty last night for the first time. Never met the man before but he talked with me like we were old friends. He answered all my questions and didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. Thank's again Monty. Order is in can't wait to start breaking it in.

By the way your watch is 2 min. fast:)

Ok guys its time for just allittle feedback..More feedback to come when it hits the track with a race tune.



To start off I have a hott mod p5xs that runs awsome to compare to.


Ok so I bought a p5xlt and sent it to monty for his tune including the +4c crank,17011 bearing,and ceramic rear bearing.

Im at about 1 gallon mark and its realy starting to come alive and at this point already feels faster then my p5sx its alot smoother and realy puts the power to the ground!I run the exact setup with both the engines but the hes p5xlt sounds totaly differant,it just sounds and feels very strong,alot stronger then the hott mod p5xs.I can not wait for this thing to drop its nuts,it will be a total beast with smooth power from bottom to top!

Do not be afraid to get this combo for a buggy because it just feels right at home in one!Very smooth! Thanks Monty
