That back quad, I've done a few times but if you don't get a good run and fall short you land right on top of the last jump and it breaks arms.

fuel mileage is also pretty hard to get there. During race conditions i was pitting about 8mins to be safe The speed was temped at 215 after the whole 25min main. This track is pretty bad fuel mileage track, its usually pretty loose.

i run that track ALL the time!...i have seen you and your truck there!...nice mill....i have noticed at that track the only time you want to hold the trigger down all the way is for that quad....if you just slowly go full throttle and then try not to give more throttle then the motor REALLY needs, i have got some good runtimes out there...around the 9 1/2 min mark....but like you said it gets REAL blown out...so you have to be considerate with the throttle

SO FAR WHEN DURING PRACTICE I WAS ABLE TO GET 9- 91/2MINS BUT LIKE NEIL TOLD ME TO GET BETTER RUN TIME LEAN IT OUT A LITTLE MORE, SO I HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT AND TEST IT. DURING THE WARM UP IT TEMPED AT 225 AND IT FELT AWESOME, JUST LIKE IN THE BEGINING OF THE VIDEO BUT DURING THE LONGER MAIN IT RICHEN UP, IT CAME IN AT AROUND 215, SO I SHOULD HAVE LEANED IT A LITTLE SO IT STAYED AROUND THAT 225 RANGE

dont lean it out just to get a temp....it sounded GREAT!...if you felt you could get some more top out of it or more bottom snap, then yeah go for it ....but it sounds fine to me....dont worry about temps bro...they are just to make sure your not running @ 300F if it screams and theres smoke, then you are golden

WELL MAYBE JUST TO FINE TUNE IT, LIKE THE BOTTOM SO IT DOSEN'T RICHEN UP CAUSE IT DIDN'T FEEL AS STRONG THE LONGER I WAS RUNNING CAUSE IT SLIGHTLY RICHEN UP.

I JUST HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT MORE.

BUT YES IT RAN GREAT DURING THE QUALIFIERS AND ETC.. NO FLAME OUTS

if you feel the bottom started lacking half way into the race is because the TOP was a tad LEAN....remember to fine tune for RACING,you want to run about 2 full tanks through it, THEN start fine tuning it...this way you saturate the chassis with heat and all components that are gonna hold heat....thats why your tune changes halfway through the race( or even at half a tank)

If the engine is pretty new still it is possible that it is just breaking in and that's why it fattened up a bit towards the end of your race. Seems like every engine I break-in does that to me. Just lean it in a bit and you should be good to go. I would expect those run times to come up a bit as the engine breaks in as well. That's all assuming it is new still.

+1

no engine is going to get record runtimes running at 215 in a Truggy in a California climate...The engine is tuned nicely with a little margin for safety...running cool and making great power....

Man its been very quiet

I wanted to let every know Neil aka clock is a stand up guy and from my conversation he stands behind his products.

Was able to chat with him for about an hour last night. He taught me more in 60 mins then my 2 years of wrench on these engines. No issues guys just some questions about me B5.

Thanks Neil >> I'll have a nice cold one on the beach for you

I'm glad you actually talked to Neal. I felt like i created confusion on your part via pm's. I should have sent you pics of my carb. Glad you're trucking now!
