So here's my not so short report on my R3RC...

I finished breaking it in yesterday at 301 raceway (amazing facility) and decided to run the club race with it.

During break in, the temperature was at 170-190 and not until the last two tanks did it even break 200 degrees which was new to me. After the complete break in, I tuned it a bit for the first qual but the highest temp was 223 with 20% Trinity fuel. Then a friend at the track gave me 25% Byron's to try out. Right away, temp went back to 180%+, never expected that to happen. So I ran one qual with it thinking I had a good tune but it was way too rich, took forever to shift.

For the next race I got a good tune and all of the sudden, I'm

I pulled into the straight a few seconds after my buddy running a stock R3 and somehow, I made it out first not to mention the down low power pulled me down the technical parts of the track with ease.

I'm a B-main driver at best right now and at big races might end up in C-main but I love having this kind of power. I started out 11th of 12 racers and by lap 3, I was in second place. I could literally count the cars as I was blowing by them.

Top temperature was 220 degrees, I'm switching to Byron's 25% (needless to say I guess). I ran with the original conrod although I'm going to switch it, and Jamie you got a PM coming.
