glad you like it
have you tried running it with the sirio 2611 pipe?

The conrod every 8lt

Thanks in advance.

i only change my bearings when they start making that 'rough' sound.
i never change the rod.
has anyone ever measured the length of a new rod as opposed to a used rod to see if the rod has bent or lengthened?

Twiggy,

Did you measure the fuel lt after you heard that rough sound?(On .12 or .21)
After 8 lt at the conrod having a little space at the bottom where is the gold cicle.After that lt there is a breaking point at the gold cicle.

You wait till you race tune it
Then you will see something
Make sure that you wear a belt with your trousers

I didn't have a chance yet, but will do so when I race again. I was racing a CRF today and also had to do some TZ break-in. I'm trying to do too many things at one time - but having fun doing it.

I need to ask a ques, im using a Sirio Evo 1 .12 engine on a FW05rr. I know it needs to use a different type of starter box to accomodate its engine placement.

From the looks of my engine, can it support a roto-start? I dont suppose so right? There's nothing to poke the rotostart into. But the previous owner mentioned that he used a handheld starter. Is there a handheld starter other than sth similar to rotostart that i do not know of?

you can use a r/c plane handheld starter like this one http://www.modelflight.com.au/buy_mo.../p7260184a.jpg
but you have to replace the cup on the end with a rubber wheel.

in order to use a drill type starter you would need a pull start style crankshaft. Most starter boxes will allow you to move the motor and wheel from a parallel to a perpendicular position. For instance the Kyosho box will start both on road shaft and belt cars, as well as the big 1/8th off road buggy/truggy. Using a starter box will be much easier than anything

I think there is only one .12 Evo STI.
S12T3ISTI which is a 3 port engine.

Check out the build tips at the RRR Knowledge base for how to set your end play. No matter what engine I use, my end play is always 0.10mm.
