you can switch between the 3port p/s and the 5port. i have a set of both because i was racing in a roar event so i switched to a 3 port p/s set with no problems. you just have to tweek the needles but if you have money to buy this engine then that should go without saying

So i have a TZ 3p and it has been running great, however the track that i run on is small so i have never really streched it legs, so my friend who has a radar gun and i tested it in my mtx3 the other day, When i thought the motor was about to top out RPM it just kept going, needless to say even with my gearing for a very small track the car still hit 56mph, i just couldnt belea ve how much more top end there was that i have never used.

its just a piston and sleeve change. i'm thinking about getting a second conrod though because then i dont have to keep popping out the piston pin retainer...when those things fly across the room, forget about it!

12tz 3 ports problem
I ran my car in a parkin lot the other day. I didnt noticed that after a while the teeth of my 2nd gear was completely damaged. and for about an hour Im doing a full throtle not knowing that my 2nd gear was broken. then I noticed my engine stop running, I tried starting the engine but it does not start. I checked the flywheel with my finger and it is rotating now without any resistance. is the conrod broken? my 12tz 3 ports is only 2 months old and I have used only for about 8 to 9 times.
