Mine was running very well at the gallon mark too at similar temps. Things started to change when I hit 2 gallon and didn't seem to hold the tune too well. I am going to lean it to about 250 - 260F this weekend and see what happens. The weather sucks here in Hong Kong as well...been about 80-95% humidity with a 25-30Celsius Temp!!

The last post got me thinking - as it turns out, it's not my Media Player (it's up to date) - it was my anti-virus/security settings. It's all sorted now!!

Great videos and yep - good driving too, it's very dusty and slippery isn't it?!! #Cough#!!

I went to tune my Buggy yesterday, the .28 engine on it was too much for the place . where a lot of holes and loose rock on the ground. the engien is too powerful to drive until I richen it up quite a bit.

I was having fun until the pull star string breaks
overall I like this engine much better then the orion .28 I used to have on my old MBX-5

Our driver for pro-hobby runs one in his jammin truggy. Works great , hes finishing in the top 3 in most races he attends. Its a modified version, but stock is more than fine. We also are using some of the STS venturis / reducers to increase fuel milage a bit. Along with a JP-2 and JP-1 pipe.

Its worth a try, see how it manages on your track.

try the STS pipe if you havent already, we have run the jp1 and the STS pipe will give you even better top end without giving up any bottom performance.
