Hey Monty, I pulled my Orion engine apart (clutch) and I noticed the clutch shoes were brown on my Buku. I used the new clutch bell and cleaned it as you said before I used it. Is this something to worry about? I remember someone saying to lightly sand the shoes and I shouldn't have any problems. Also I am running the Losi clutch bell and I think I might have like 20 minutes if that on my Orion, I just ended up running my Werks b2 instead of the new Orion, but the next two races are on bigger tracks so I figured I would get out the Orion this weekend and make sure I have the clutch adjusted correctly. Right now it is still at the settings that came with it. I also have some JQ bells but they don't grab too well with the Losi, I kinda like a bit more than 1/2 of the center diff gear being used if ya know what I mean. What about the Koyosho bell how well will they work on the Losi? I think I can get one ordered if they are better, I know the Mugen seemed better than the JQ but even it wasn't to my liking, but in a pinch maybe

Try loosening the settings just a little on all three shoes equally , say 1/8th increments until it just bogs the engine then tighten back up just a scoche . As for the discoloration its ok , just clean everything up with denatured alcohol and a semi-lint free cotton cloth , i wouldnt recommend cleaning with anything else bro

Lmk if you need anything

Hi Houston, My name is Sean I sent you an email threw your site about my Ninja .21 engine that I have been having issues with. I have new bearings in it yet when it reaches temp it will not stay running, I have been told it need a re pinch as it ingested dirt yet when I opened the engine the piston looks perfect and with the new bearings things should be fine? I would like to send it to you to inspect and give me your opinion as to the future of this engine. I got this engine with my Truggy and was told it had only 1 gallon threw it when the dirt happened and that was why it wont stay running.

Thanks
Sean

Got it this time Monty sorry it was going to the junk folder and on my iphone that folder is not viewable. As explained in reply I will have the Ninja out to you this week and I very much look forward to your input.

EEEEEWWWWW IS RIGHT!! :lol:

1/10th electric used to be huge for me (like 12 yrs worth) but i just lost interest , i might do some this winter with a resurgeance of 1/10th old school bros coming back

Monty,

It's hard to deny the popularity of 1/10th racing. LOL

Hope you can see your way to do a little elec. racing. Never know, the easiness could be a bit of a relaxer for ya. Well, the realitive easiness once you get the motor and ESC all dialed in. If nothing else, the winter wheel time should prove useful.

We actually had a full heat of 2wd Mod buggy, 2 full heats of 2wd sc, 4wd sc, and E-buggy. It was a nice day, but I wish I had my 2wd mod buggy ready. I felt like I didn't do any wrenching all day and easily could have ran 2 classes.

Man to heck with 1/10 electric, just come to Vietnam on vacation, after your recent events it would do you and your family some good. Come relax in a tropical paradise then race at the end of the month! No winter in Nam! Every month at the end of the month we have a race, usually about 30 to 40 cars but it can reach 50 plus
