Hi Houston. I am getting ready to order some engines for the summer race season. Last year, I ran a X3FM 2096 or 9901/40121 which was great all year. I was very impressed with the engine and had good results last year. It is due for a pinch, so it will be a back up motor. Was planning on getting another X3fm, X5 in some iteration, and possibly a cheaper engine for club racing.

How long will it be before you will have some X3FM's ready to ship as they show out of stock on your website? Did all X3s in recent shipment already sell?

I was also going to try an X5, because I needed just a little more power in one instance last year - double into large quad. I had to slow down in order to perfectly downside the double to get enough run up to clear the quad. Most had to do the same or split the quad up, but a few could slightly overshoot the downside and still clear the quad. Looking for maybe .1s here and expecting some huge air at the 3 tracks I will race this summer.

Leaning towards X5 lightning at the moment. I know it will have more bottom end grunt but will it keep the mid range and top end run out the X3FM had? If not we need to talk Need to keep a 10 minute pit as well.

Not that it really matters but switched from MBX6 to MP9 over the winter.

You can either post a response here or send me a PM. I have sent you PM's and emails several times in the past (1 and 2 years ago) and not got a response.
Are you sure pm'd me or visitor messaged me?

I answer pm's but never check visitor messages
