have you tried it with higher timing in 1/12? mine came with 46*, I couldn’t help myself but to turn it up to 48* on my first run. It ran well and cooler then the MC2. I’m still experimenting with the gearing, I have set it to 51* & and will be trying it out on Sunday. If it’s gets hot or I lose to much on coming out of corners then I will drop it by 2*.
