i would have to charge alot more to run each engine 1.5 gallons which is usually around the area where this happens but the r2r is 3/4 to 1 gallon of fuel of a proper run in . i dont rev the engine out really hard during this time but usually tune the engine in good enough to run races

Hey Monty, on the P5X head buttons there are dimples. On my standard button there are 3 in a row and on the turbo's there is 2 on one side and 3 or 4 across from it. Do the 3 go over the exhaust port? Also, what is the reasoning for this? I was thinking it was for indexing the plug in the chamber but I'm not really sure. Thanks!

no reason really , it is a cylinder which doesn't really need any indexing but novarossi installs the most dots towards the exhaust

Got a tank through the 21-5 this evening finally. After 10 minutes it temped 235-240. Wound out real nice without really pushing it too much. I felt "electric" smooth!

It's supposed to be 90's and hmuid as heck tomorrow. Any suggestions Monty?
