Now which plugs work best? I'm on the east coast so it's hot and humid here in the summer time, I'd guess on average 85-95 degrees 60-80% humidity.
How about clutching for this engine? 1.0 springs? I'm guessing this thing has some good bottom so I can clutch it a little lighter than I have my 7 port GO (1.1's)
Anything else I should know about this mill?
Thanks for you help!
if you want turbo , try the odo97t or odo77t , for standard odo77 or mccoy mc8
as far as clutching and gearing on the rc8 i really couldn't tell ya . those things are goofy , i run the blue kyosho alu. shoes w/ 1.0 and sometimes .95 springs in my st-rr and mp-9 and they are definitely not underpowered .

the shimming will be just fine with 25% nitro ,your engine is at .80mm right now and i would say to leave it and either run 25% but would actually recommend running 30%
