Testing of the prototype #2 went well today. I can say it is exceeding my wildest expectations. It is really torquey and revs bigtime and it tunes like an OS. If the weather holds out I'll try to get some video available by next weekend of some runs of the prototype so you can see for yourself. An interesting thing is the engine has better compression when its hot than cold. Most engines tend to go the other way. The piston expansion rate is working very well.

No problem at all.. that is a good choice Dennis, considering they were expanding their product range....

As for the RD, you mean RD Logics ?
We would love too...

Cool, can't wait to get any one of them. Does the carb have 2 or 3 needles? Couldn't tell from the pictures
Also, I picked up a NSR12S5 engine and I was wondering if ysou could tell me if its a long or short stroke engine and there's also an "L3" stamped on the head, do you know what it stands for. I know this your thread, but if you don't mind.
Thanks Roy

Congrats on getting your first production models! I now if it was me I would be beside myself with no sleep! From the short time that I've known you, you've always been helpful for the newbies to nitro racing like myself. I know you will make a great product, and when they come to market I look forward to putting a little spank to the overpriced stuff that's already out there!
