Jerome,
if its going to be sitting for a month or so, you could just put a few drops of castor oil in it and turn it over by hand a few times to make sure its nice a coated. Its safe for the filled cranks.

Monty, I put the OS back in Sunday and man it was night and day, the X3LFM has WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY more bottom end power but it was still silky smooth. I could not believe the difference in bottom end power. One of the jumps I was stopped on the run up with the X3 and I cleared it no problems, no way would the OS do the same. Top speed on the two is about the same maybe a tiny bit less on the X3 but it might also be I just let off a bit sooner for the turns on the straight, but definitely nothing to run home and talk about. Probably going to take this month off and focus on my college math course, but if you get a chance can you email me anything I need to look at for the question I sent in the PM. No races this month but there is a truggy race in June, just wish I had a X7FM for that as well

Thanks again for the awesome engine and excellent customer service!!

Default Novarossi engines?

I just bought a mbx6 and I want to put a novarossi in it but I know nothing of nitros... So what's a good engine for a 1/8 buggy that novarossi makes?
