Since you are familiar with this engine, would like to ask you a few qs....if you dont mind..... !

How good an investment is the JP FX t-05 -- selling for 400$ at rcmodel.

How many times have you changed the piston on it ? where did u get it ?

one site i saw has a full modified version and a FULL OPTIONS version with a 50$ diff in the latter would you know what that means by any chance.

thanks in advance......
I run the full option JP FX T03 on 16%, it has been in the car since July last year, head was removed to rotate in 45 degrees, but apart from that the motor is untouched, and it still produces more power and torque than any Rossi motor I've had. I will be staying with this JP model for as long as possible.
The rumours about the carb losing its settings are untrue, they hold their setting longer than any other motor I've had, and I only need to adjust it for weather conditions.
How many hours of running has it had? not counted, but I race at my club every 1st and 3rd Sunday, plus I visit the Brookland track, and do the National scene, and practice days, so the motor has had a good 50+ hours of running (Rossi NS3 lasted about 30 hours)
