Ron at Werks was kind enough to offer to send me a qt. to try, but he is just too busy.
He is local but his fuel is not.

I don't see any quarts on Amain. And the four gallon cases are on sale.
Maybe I'll pm Ron and find out how far the nearest supplier is.
My supplier of Power Master has been unreliable of late. But the price was right!

Got mine Saturday! Thanks Jaz. Now I guess I need to get a new bump box. The Losi box doesnt want to turn this engine over.

+1 to Jay. Don't be afraid to get it up to 250 before firing. This engine is redonkoulously tight! Break in shim is a must also. Thank you to all who ordered. Special pricing is still in effect. Have 2 engines in stock ready to ship. 6 more coming Friday.
