1) How much approx is a con-rod for the RR12L3??
2) Does the Ofna X-12 come in a right side version for the rs4-3ss or Tamiya TG10 Mk 2??
This is my first rear exhaust engine and I feel a liitle nervous trying to replace the con rod my self. I will probably get someone from the hobby store to do it. The engine is barely broken in with about 10-11 tanks thru it which is at least half a gallon. I will take your advice as I want to run this engine competetively all thru spring, summer and fall. Yeah the back end does move out a little if you gun it from start. And that was with a tall first gear and 1/8 foams. I have since shortened the gears and can't wait to run it soon. I am also running 30% with no shims. I can go at least 10 minutes, idles absolutely rock solid, no flame outs and even though it smokes a little on acceleration, hardly any oil on the exhaust or body!!! How should I tune this properly?? I have barely turned the high needle with the low needle turned just enough so the engine does not stall and the clutch is dis-engaged. Ballistic acceleration with this setup and that was with a 3-shoe clutch. I have since got a centax and I assume I should get even better acceleration...
