I just got home from the races tonight. All I can say is the ExTech engines are for real!!
We took TQ in both Expert Truggy (me) and Expert Buggy (Kinwald).
I was misinformed and got to the track just minutes before my first heat, so I had a total of 1 tank through my new engine before my first heat race. I TQ'ed both rounds of qualifying. Our heats are 7 minutes and with the stock needle settings, I had no problem finishing.
I took longer than I had anticipated rebuilding my clutch before the main and I didn't make the start, so I started a lap down. I worked my way up to 3rd by the end of the main. I leaned the bottom just a hair and I pitted at 8 minutes.
This engine has a ton of bottom end and is scary fast on the top end. I can't wait for it to break in.
Kinwald also won his main and went the whole 10 minute main without pitting. I looked in his tank at the end and he still had almost 1/4 of a tank left!!! He could have gone 13 minutes or more.
Oh by the way......Brian Kinwald is back!!!!!
