Let it cool down and re-filled for tank 2 and got about halfway through it when my throttle servo died..I must have heated that to 300 degrees also


installing new servo now and will continue break in tuesday. Hoping to get about 10 tanks through it by Saturday and then race it Saturday night. I went with the Nova 9901 pipe to start with
Thanks James, whenever I'm feeling a little low I just find what you're posting and always have a chuckle. ' guess I heated that to 300 too!' that's classic.
