Hi there guys I thought that I should share this picture with the guys wanting to see what a 0.5mm idle gap looks like against a paper clip, tooth pick, I was at my father in laws clock maker machine shop today and he had this blue steel rods in every size from 0.1mm to 10.0mm so I thought it would be a good idea to make a 0.5mm, 0.6mm & 0.7mm idle gap stick to make it really easy to set a larger gap for break in then set a correct gap for a race tune.

We run 25% Power Save Racing Fuel and O.S. P3 plugs.

Next race will be in three weeks. :)

You may want to think about marketing those sticks. Good ideas....

piano wire at my lhs has sizes smaller then 0.5 all the way up to 3.5mm. I use the 2.0 for pipe hangers

Awesome Idea Sam..

I gotta rave on the JL. This engine never ceases to amaze me.. I just hope I can one day get it on a track that I can allow it to stretch it's legs..

I had to do a plug change before the Main.. Didn't have an Ofna, so I put in an O'Donnell 77T. Leaned the top 3 hours, and she was pretty close. But end needed leaned about 2-3 itself. It still ran flawlessly until I ran it out of gas.. I noticed it was getting that outa fuel peppiness to it, but ignored it. Well it bit me in the rear.. Was able to refuel, lean the bottom a touch, and still finished 2nd.. We temped at the end of the 20minute Main and it was 203* with an Exergen temp gun.. If I lean it to it's true potential I honestly can't drive it.. IMO that's a good thing to have..

Awesome engine and very economical.

Maximo,Have you moded a orion discovery yet and if so what did you think about it?

Well the clocked werks b5 and 2013 have hit the 3 litre mark and engine is a power house, best described as a CLOCKED WEAPON.

I had one of the guys shoot some footage today at the track were i got more fuel through the motor, the wind was blowing a gale and the cars were floating of the jumps.

Hi Neal, is that "Clocked" crank out of a B5-PRO or regular B5?

regular...that is my filler in that crank pictured....

Today's Race Results:)

So, today I started off my racing career with my first race ever out here where I live. Nice day, no wind, about 90 degrees so a little bit hot. My first race (club race, points race) 1/8 scale Nitro Truggy, running a Losi 8t 2.0, Clocked 25xz, and S&W Trophy Blend fuel. My first qualifier I took 6th. 2nd B main qualifier I took 3rd. 3rd B main qualifier I took 1st place and got bumped into the A main:) The A main I placed 3rd, and 6th over all today in points! I have to say, I never imagined that my first race ever would yield the results that I ended the day with!

My Clocked O.S. 25xz really kicked ass today and was definitely the strongest engine out there by far! Though I didn't take 1st in the A main, I thought that 3rd was a respectable placing being that I started the A main off in last place and had to pass 7 other guys to get there. Hopefully today wasn't a fluke and i'll be able to repeat or surpass today's results... All I know is, that my Losi 8T 2.0, Clocked O.S. 25xz, and S&W Trophy Blend fuel is a match made in heaven:) 0 flame outs, 0 issues, and my engine never broke 258 degrees with the S&W fuel...

I would be willing to modify it !

I'd like to see this too..

I'm just trying to understand the work you have done to this crank. Where I have placed an arrow that's where you have drilled out into the crank to lighten/balance it I assume? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Is this the same type of work the Clocked B5 and B6 get that you sell on your website or was this a "special"?
