I bought a CL12E from Murnan when he carried the line. I broke it in using the Murnan bench method as well as replaced the conrod after the 1st gallon.. I've put over 3 gallons through the engine so far and the piston still gets stuck on colder days when i first put it on the started box. Runtime has been very good and power has been extremely excellent.

My only concern is that I wish Capricorn had a US distributor again. Capricorn has some great products. I was using a Capricorn glowplug with great results. Same with tires (caution though, the black carbon Kyosho rims can be very brittle. Just don't hit the wall!)


-Capricorn CL12E .12 engine
-Capricorn #6 glowplug
-Capricorn Sirio 2611 pipe and header
-Capricorn black carbon kyosho tires (either 38 or 40 f/r I dont remember!)

I'm really digging the black/silver/red/cf theme of my +Evo/Capricorn combo.
