Trust me when I say that once you get a chance to run the motor you will forget all about it not having a black case lol! I just got of the phone a second ago with our importer in Finland who just received his shipment today. His son is a top 5 driver over there that has been running OS Speed engines for the last season. They started breaking one in today and did some quick testing at the track. His son felt that it had more power than the engines that he was running before! Oh, it also was getting nearly 9 minuted a tank running fat with less that a quart through it
