Today I finally ran the clocked bonito in my buggy and also i compared it to the fire 11 clocked.

The bonito was insane, WOW!! I am running it in a mbx6r buggy. Crazy! I had a lot of Clocked Engines. This one is one of the Top of all time. I started with a 14t clutch bell and 4 shoe M2C all weights in and .9's on all 4. And a 9886 pipe and 6.5 venturi. This thing was amazing, flying around the track, smoking .23 Alpha motors in a truck like nothing. So much power Bottom and Top! Then neal yelled at me and said don't use a small venturi so i put a 8mm and it just ran much better. Easier to tune, idle and of course more power!! I got more runtime as well. WIth the 6.5 i got 8mins, with the 8mm i got 9 1/2 mins. I can't wait to get a truggy, This motor is made for a truggy. I was very fun to have a crazy motor but controllable.

Then i put in the RB clocked fire 11, M2C clutch all weights but .95 springs and a 13t clutch bell same pipe 9886. The Bonito has more power but the fire11 was very close. The 9886 smoothed out the bottom but it pulled hard down the straight. I also took the stock rb carb off and put the os long needle carb in 7mm venturi and i got 10mins. But with the Rb carb i was only able to get 8mins. The long needle carb was a big improvement.

Both motors were amazing, Now the only problem is i can't decide what to race with next, Bonito or Fire?

Both are amazing, excellent Job on Both Neal!!!!!
