Another great day with the new Argus engines. Four of us made the trip down to Loganville, GA, which is a great track to visit if you can. We ended up with a 1st in Pro Buggy, 1st and 5th in Open Buggy, and 3rd in Pro Truggy. I think we would have had another top 3 in Pro, but electrical failures put one of us out during the main. Truggy ran 11:25 in main!

Very cold day with temps dropping dramatically prior to the mains. We only had to make minor adjustments to keep up with the tune. All motors had absolutely no issues throughout the day. Each motor now has between 1.5 gallons and 5.25 gallons. The five gallon engine has still not been opened up, great pinch, and no issues with bearing, conn rod, etc.

Looking forward to hearing others results when you get your engines in.

If you are sure you are going to Savannah...let me know. We might be able to meet down there. If we get anything, Greg will not be able to run...track is still muddy from last snow.

Richard!I would say we going for sure!Unless the forecast change....I'll contact you later this week!

outamoney 01-10-2011 08:06 AM

I think we might try to go....if weather holds out. This snow has ended chances of Zoo City running.

30% nitro is running with 0.3 or 0.4 shim?

jjenkins 01-10-2011 12:11 PM

For breakin we added the extra shim(.1) that comes with the engine. After break-in we remove it. This should leave you at .3 .
This is all on 30 percent fuel.

Thanks
