We can always learn no matter how much we know. I have never seen a group of people living in a vacuum as rc racers. It's quite funny and sad at the same time. Of course if the shoe fits......


That is why I ask alot of questions because IDGAF

Oh no, please don't misunderstand me. Neil you are the best and helped me more then people on here will ever know. I was referring to people who think one size fits all, or you have no business with a modded motor for whatever reason they see fit. If I want to strap a jet engine to my buggy I will because I can. It is starting to seem more and more that most everything in this hobby is hype or benefits ones agenda.

But there are certain things/products that are the truth! Clockwork. M2c, werks, king heads, avid, hitec

The hype? I have a good list for this but I am not going there.

Yes, my own thread. I asked many question that many would not ask, I would get bashed repeatedly for it. But make no mistake many people learn from the "stupid" questions I ask, because they ate afraid too for whatever reason.

Your thread was very popular, and you were definitely missed when you stopped posting for a while !

MY agenda is to make sure every Clocked engine sold is running to its max potential ! nothing bothers me more then having one of my engines not performing as it should !

Yes, it seems like you care more then the consumer lol! Sometimes I wonder how you make money

Basically what I was trying to say is that our ability to learn is the premeir asset of being human and asking questions has zero to do with what I know/don't know. Ok, feel better, done with my tangent

Thinking of a killer bashing engine like a clock picco .28

OS 25 !!!!!! the Picco 28 is a stump puller, but it doesn't like to rev too much...and if we make it rev they start losing reliability....We can gear them up to compensate, but then the clutches start losing reliability.......The OS 25 however is a different breed altogether and much more suited to a Truggy...it has a little less torque then the 28's on the dyno, but about an extra 10 000 more useable RPM..On the ground it feels very close to the 28 on the bottom, but pulls much harder in the midrange and top end..It will legitimately out rev most .21's pulling a taller gear then a .21 can pull....Which in the end makes it likely the fastest Truggy engine I have encountered to date bar none.....It is the first big engine I have seen that can actually pull some serious RPM's...It behaves like a big .21, not like a small .28..........Of course I am talking about the Clocked version....

As for the time with the customers...I usually get a good quantity of repeat customers, and usually the repeat customers do not need much help with their engines.... Once a person knows how to properly dial in a engine they no longer have much need for my help..... So things balance out in the end..tho some days I do end up on the phone a little much, but other days I get more then ample time in the shop..... However sometimes things overlap and I don't have enough time to do both LOL !

Jesus my picco is possessed!

No dice on the 2013, the 086 short header blows
the doors off.

It's tough to choose what I like better, the b5 or the jpx. B5 easier to drive with an unreal powerband and screaming top end or the jpx, unreal bottom that is hard for me to control, to much for my buggy 100% truggy motor lol. Man I love these engines!!

Neal always wanted me to try the picco. I just don't want for anything else after the B5. If the situation calls for the stops to be pulled out, the 25XZ is the ticket. This is the ultimate truggy engine for high bite, high speed tracks. Check your ring & pinion 1st! The C6 Neal did also is incredible.

Weekend just gone we had our annual first leg of the tri series the Western Australia Cup WACC.. We had the Werks B6 in the Buggy and in... The Grass track is very heavy on fuel with the high grip its full throttle most of the time... The clocked B6 ran awesome all weekend did not miss a beat as did the B5 just a few mechanical issues kept us out of the main in Truggy. We managed a 3rd in buggy after some tight racing.....Even with his arm still in a cast...lol
