Just placed an order Monty, let me know if you have any suggestions on it.

Thanks!

PS: The nova is running great still!

Lets say I have a p5xlt which is a motor know for a lot of low end torque. What you are saying is, if I want more torque I should use a torque pipe and if I want to mellow out the torque of the motor I should use a rpm pipe.

Thanks

Monty, How much would you charge me to do the "service" on my Traxxas Pro .15 and throw some new Avid bearings in it?

P5 loves the 2096ss/41021 & for even more top but less runtime use 9886ss/41021

Thanks Monty, your the best.

Monty I want to send you my P5. I shot you an email

just getting back into town from a race , got a bunch of engines i am supposed to get out today as well as parts

sorry about not answering it chad , i probably opened it when i was wrenching and taking a smoke break but didnt get to answering it , might of got interrupted or something , all good man

i will answer the email now

Monty,

My buddy Scott raced his new Fusion X3 Lighting Extreme this past Saturday and absolutely loved it. He convince my to buy one myself. I ordered one and will be picking it up this weekend. If they break-in and run anything like Eric Fletcher's engine we're going to be real happy.

While I'm at it, how does the 2096ss compare to the 9901ss on that engine?

Are you guys ordering them from www.fusionxusa.com ?

2096ss/41021 is awesome imo , great driveability , plenty of punch and great runtimes

9901ss/41021 on X3 is a little more punch but i dont feel it has the same driveability

Procedure for a resized p/s re-break in

Preheat the engine to at least 170° , prime the fuel into engine by blowing into pressure line from pipe , fire it up , tune low speed and idle so engine runs between 190-210 with head cover on , idle for 5 min , repeating process 3 times , cooling in between ,be sure piston is out of "pinch zone" when letting cool

Then repeat preheat and prime process , retune engine for an in balance carb that is just a lil rich and runs between 190-210 with no head cover , run car on the ground for 3 x 10min cycles , then on the track and be kinda nice to it for a bit

Thanks.

Heads up. Houston we have lift off... My P5 is on its way to you. :nod:
How'd it go for you this weekend?

Yes, they came from Jim's shop.

Lots of guys run the Werks 2058 pipe on this engine. It's a good compromise especially if your P5 is modified. You can pick one up, as did I, off the classifieds for $40 if you look around. Though, I paid $30 for mine ;)

Ya the lm pipes werk pretty good on nova based engines

2013 & 2058



Wknd was good , track was fun

Tq in truck , ended up 2nd , i drove like an idiot for a few laps , thats all it takes

Buggy qual'd 3rd ended up 3rd after 2 flame outs in main , i am still breaking in that special X5 sooooo well we all know how that goes when an engine drops its nuts in a main:cry:
