Thanks in advance.
I saw one and know another guy doing really well with the Flash .21 (std, not tuned). The conrod is the Plus model, not 359.

I have been running 2 x 359 with no problems (other than my tank leaks) Careful with the ceramic bearing because it will take at least 1 litre to break in with slow acceleration otherwise they could skip.
I suggest stay with Nova and I like #9886 with the conical header, 5 to 7 fin depends on your track.
