It only gets that cold when I do some what speed passes Down the street.

On my backyard track it stays around 204-206 max and rips hard.

Raced for the first time with my Clocked Bonito in my Mugen truggy. Motor performed flawlessly I however did not. Great motor I just need to learn how to drive now. Driving a nitro truggy is a lot different than an electric buggy but it is a blast

Went out yesterday to the local tracks test n tune day had a blast with my
P5 and new serpent buggy, had everyone looking at my equipment all day long. Second practice run out broke the previous track record by .4 sec, third run and a couple adjustments and broke it again by 1.2. All I can say is thanks to Neal and John for all the help and support and building an amazing product.

Got to run my Clocked 28-7 at the BMI raceway Saint Patties day race sat. This thing is a beast. TQ and the win. Beat old track record by 2 laps. Here is a video of the 2nd qual. I wasn't paying attention and I didn't get my engine warmed up enough before the qual started so it took a little bit for it to come around but I still won the qualifier.

Speed runs with an engine at 150f during break-in is not a recommened
way to break an engine in properly.

Hey Neal, keep a spare con rod handy for this guy.

Lol I had neal break it in for me and those temps are at the end of the run,the temps are in the 205 range from say 0-25ft and it cools any further and its not full throttle either that's why I said some what speed runs.

I guess if the rods are prone to blow on these then keep one in stock for me.

Might be worthwhile to wrap the head in tinfoil if your struggling to reach temps........

It's a lot of fun. I'm going to run oval once a month just to break it up a little from running offroad every weekend.

Damn, that Clocked 28-7 was rippin that little D.O. up. Looks like
you've your set-up dialed in and are hookin up great .
I'd like to see it screamin around one of the big clay tracks. Swing her
into the sweepers, feather the throttle and watch her dig.

LOL! I just watched it again. There is a couple of times that I thought
you were going to have to punt a few of the slower cars to keep
from getting tangled up. That's some nice driving. I've ran against
some real hackers before, you know, the one who would rather
take you out than get lapped. I got used to it and learned to
punt back with great finess. Hack me once, thats cool.
Hack me twice, hey now! Go for the third and I'll punt your ars
into the boards with such a light touch, you'll thank me for doing it.
