By smooth I mean pulling lightly all they way through not just jerking full trigger. He said it was about normal for these motors to have that stumble in the mid range. It also probably been said but the motor shouldn't feel like its winding out on the straights. It should feel and sound like its lugging the whole way. While generating smooth consistent power from bottom to top. Besides the stumble he mentioned. Was also gonna throw out yall may wanna check your bearings at the gallon break in mark. I had bought tko's and was gonna put em in about 2 gallons mark. Took my tuned apart to check it out at a gallon. And the front bearing was tanks away from going south. Real rough and gritty. Tko's solved that.
I've gotta think that burton driving for team losi and grp and horizon. Knows the grp inside and out. I just watched how he tuned his asked questions and listened to what he had to say. And it help me out a bunch.
I'm very pleased to read about other engines acting like this. This is what I've been experiencing so far. I kind of thought the engine would smooth out after time but if not then oh well. She's performing great and tuning very well. I"m not worrying too much after hearing this.
