O.....M.....G!!!!!!!!

Just completed tank 12 on my new 3r (not '08 version) and this motor SCREAMS!!!!

Still using the original P3 glowplug used from the beginning of break-in.
Needle settings are currently at HSN = 1/4 turn in from flush, LSN = 2 turns in from flush.

I used the Racefactor break-in procedure, so while running tanks 7 - 11, and with HSN = 1/2 turn out from flush, LSN = 1 3/4 turns in from flush, progressively leaning needles, it had the typical richy/sluggish feel throughout entire power band.

During tank 12, the entire power band was relatively crisp and very responsive. I'm very pleased with this motor, so far. I know this is just the beginning and have many more tanks/gallons to run. I hope this power band lasts a long time and continues to improve.

We'll see how this motor performs this Saturday during a race.

Here are my items:
XB808
Go Tech 3 port race (not '08)
JP-2 pipe
Futaba 3PKS w/ Spektrum Pro DSM w/ telemetry
Byron 30% race 3000 Gen2
