If you get a BRB set it comes with 0.3mm of undersleeve shims (3 x 0.1mm) so you can raise the sleeve. Raising the sleeve moves the power band up the curve so for fast tracks you add shims and tight tracks take them out. I was hoping I could do the same to the CRF

ziggy, nothing to doubt, just check the dyno testing and test results made by Josh ! I saw the engine in use and I can tell you, the question is not the burn speed of methanol but more to practice enough to be able to drive the car with so much power !!!!

I am not going to talk about pricing or power, but defenetly want to talk about technology. What different technology are you talking about inside the engine? beside Nikasil plating-which also been use in the past in some of OS and Zenoah RC engines. BTW, Nikasil is not 2-3 times harder then Chrome plating, just about 7-9 % and mostly use in automotive and other industries to coat Al alloys, but it is defenetly much easier to implement in high speed manufacturing-chrome plating required much more waste managment technologies and more expencive.
Beside that I didn't see different in TECHNOLOGY inside engine compare to any other brand.

Edward have you already seen how the engine is made, it is totally new technology. Check the video they made !
A Vickers Harness test was done between cylinders of hard chrome vs. NikaSil
Hard chrome was approximately 600.
NikaSil was about 1180. Almost twice as hard.

May be you mean design-but it is not technology-it is different design
Check this web site for reference I just found http://www.eci2fly.com/pages/products_Ni+C.aspx

Ok so new technology for RC engines that no one else thought of or was able to implement in RC engines, in order to get superior performance, efficiency and durability. How does that sound

I know its early to even bring this up , especially when talking about how great this motor is. But due to the comment on hardness of nikasil, how long will this motors last or have lasted?
Essentially are we looking at longer lives as well or about the same?
