I dont know what to say about the conrod - I've not had a problem like that before. The conrod oil hole is not blocked? Gap looks kinda big - you can see oil movement I assume..

Oh forgot to mention. The pictures look like it was a groove. But when running my finger nail over it , it wouldnt even catch. Its almost undetectable to the touch.

Just get them into the hobby. Then you can spend time with them and have your own pit crew. LOL. Plus what kid doesnt love RC and they have novice / slower class which is good for them.

In my d5r I'm using OS p6 turbo plugs but tried one of those black Novarossi ultra turbo plugs think the code was c6tgc and seems to work just as well as the OS but I think its actually a little colder due to the black body. I guess theres really no best plug as there to many variables that will change what plug you need. just stick to good quality makes. once run in you should be fine to run 20% with the current .5mm shims and a hot plug, maybe remove .1mm but u need a shim set to get the .1mm shim.

Hey dino,

I've got a realllly big workshop. Lots of space to use as a stock room. I could store lots of RC equitment ,like motors, there. I've really got alot of space.

Ever need to stash some "stuff" PM me.

From early in thread
"if you run 16% you need to take out the cooper shim which is 0.2mm the aluminium shim is 0.3mm."

I tried using the copper on my D5 (when it was almost 1 year old). It killed a hot then cold plug pretty much straight away + damaged the sleeve. This is using 15% nitro. I'll stick with 0.3mm (the aluminium ones) I think
