good luck.

Thanks. Its already a shelf queen. Built to look at. And occasionally race.

as for temps. Ive never had another one of my motors run warm during break in.
Dunno. Im not new to nitro. But im no pro either. Still learning everyday.

Thanks for your insight on my lhs.......

At least it runs. And runs well.
