huh?

if you heated it up enough it should turnover on that box just fine

gel cell ? if so make sure it is charged with low ampreage for a while - .6 amps for 24 hrs. :)\

btw , i dig the vroom vroom :lol: i often do that with the newly built mills :nod:

No, I think the box is shot, I had trouble with it last week with a worn out RB.

I redone it last week when I was having problems and put in a new power panel and sodered (sp) all the wires. It has the 12v gel cell that has a charge of 12.89v. I am thinking the brushes on the big motor are shot, waiting on my Mugen box now, wish it would hurry, wanna see this puppy run

Monty, can you tell me the needle settings for a 528X? Would they be the same as my P5X? I'm 3 3/4 out on low and about flush on top with the P5 and it's about perfect. Just having some issues with this 528 I have. Thanks!

.28's usually are a little more open on the needles , like 4-4.25 on the low and around the same on the high


they have different carbs though too , remember that ;)
