hey guys thought id give a little update, ive got about a gallon of fuel through the motor neal built for me, ive ran both buggy and truggy with it and i would like to share my thoughts.
first in buggy: mounted in an mp9tki 3 buggy with a nova 2096 pipe and 41033 header(as shown in dyno charts) m2c steel 4 shoe flywheel with 0.95 springs. the power comes on smooth(not soft) and ramps up the more you pull the throttle,when compared to my murnan mod +4 that trys to go ape shit as soon as the throttle is cracked its allot more driveable for me. a full stab out of a corner on hi traction will still pull a front tire in the air. the rpms dont stop climbing at my track and our straight is fairly long but rough. I had some issues with the car that kept me from more testing in buggy but the motor will be returning to the buggy soon.
truggy:
I ran two club races with the motor in my truck, using a hb d8t with a werks 2013 pipe kyosho blue aluminum shoes and 1.0 springs.
the 2013 pipe was something i had to use as i lacked any pipe hanger wire and thats what the truck was already setup for. the pipe really kills the rpms from climbing on top and changes the motor from smooth to punchy and unless your on the straight anymore than half throttle is too much. we only ran 15 minute mains so i came in at 6 minutes to be topped up and had some fuel in the tank after the last nine minutes but a few corners i got the im almost out of fuel bog on the last lap. from what i know the werks 2013 is not a fuel milage pipe so nine minutes is what it is.
if i dont have to work and it stops raining ill try to get some track footage with the 2096 41033, i have some with the 2013 but its not great.
