For me there is no real noticeable difference between steel or ceramic.
Also very hard to understand when a ceramic bearing goes bad.
Overall it is cheaper to refresh a set of steel bearings compared to ceramics which really hurt your wallet.

Hey guys I seen in another post that a lot of the 2104 are having issues with piston scratching during break-in. Any advice on breaking one in to avoid this ?

Use a fuel with more oil (RTR fuel or add some extra castor) and be patient, take all the time and at least 2 liter of fuel.

I use an engine heater also during the break-in process.

Thanks

During-breaking, avoid high rpms.
Make your clutch come in very early and also make the shifting into second-gear early too.
Try to put load on the engine with early rpm, not the high screaming things.

Also put some extra oil, this will never hurt.

I just broke one in 2 weeks ago, didnt have any problems. Ranned on in the oil bath, then one bottle rich, let cool down, one bottle leaning it a bit each tank, then one bottle making power but on the rich side. I did add oil to the fuel

Thanks Rody

Sounds good thanks Steve

Hey guys,
I ran the MR03 and TR01 2165 pipe all weekend at the latest state titles with great results. Engine was fast and bulk acceleration out of the corners.

how did you keep it from melting the body?

Using the Xtreme stiffners on diablos but where the header sits in using just a protoform 90° type stiffner to allow it to clear the header.

Could also use the carbon brilliant RC ones also

Here's a couple pics mate

Max, do you think the pipe will hit the body with the MR03? I haven't had this problem.

I found the MR03 hits the stiffners on my Shepherd using precut diablo and super diablo.
