Next time you have your motor out, check the chassis for me and lmk if you see anything funny around where the CB sits.
I remember putting you in the "forward position" Right ?

I have all the weights in the flywheel because the tracks I've been running on are really loose and blown-out. Are the black springs the 1.0's, as that's what I have in mine? For our Winter series I plan to take the weights out as our indoor track is very small, technical, and packed with grip.

Are you asking if I have marks from the clutch bell hitting/rubbing from chassis flex, the answer is no. Arrows on the mount are facing to the rear so I believe it is in the forward position.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass for now and stick with my HB

Well Neal, I think they are going to have to reinvent tire glue for the Clocked B5. During my last outing to the track, I was standing on pit-lane driving my RC8T when the guys asked my why my front tires looked so funny blasting down the straight..I was running a set of pre-mounted Proline Calibers that had about 95% tread left on them. I noticed that they were expanding quite a bit, more than normal.
I also felt like my truggy was handling abnormally ( plus, you know how I drive on practise days
), but thought that it was because our track was so blown out and dry. It turns out that I blew the beads out of the tires
and they came unglued from the channel..lol I haven't had this happen with pre-mount Calibers before..the outer bead comes unglued, but they never pull out of the channel lol. I'm glad I didn't keep driving or I would have destroyed them.
..so ya, you may want to start formulating some CRE Tire Glue that can hold up to the demand of CREngines lol.

I have given up on everything I know about engines and just listen to what Neal has said. I tried an ODO 97T plugs just because I got so many of them and quickly took it out after it seemed to change the timing, almost detune the motor. Went back to Picco p6th. I've given up on trying the Fioroni clutch and ordered the M2C variable weight clutch. Neal knows his stuff and I can't wait to see what it does with a clutch that doesn't slip at full throttle, probably blow all 4 tires lol.. good stuff man.
a CRE JL will be my next motor for sure..
