This engine has the old style carb and the needles aren't as tight but seem to hold their position. I richened up the lsn and closed the idle gap to get the idle down while still maintaining 'bat outta hell' takeoff. I can't wait to get to Motorama and get this baby on a track. Also really looking forward to the B5 in my RC8T being fully broken in and getting this kinda performance in my truggy

Good to hear Marshon!!
I have another one I may be selling. Originally I was going to keep it, but my love affair with my B7pro is too strong. I really don't care for too much bottom (
I know that sounds wierd), and I'de rather have that transfered to the top of the band like the B7 does. Basically I pin it and occasionally turn.
I say "may selling" cuz I think I am going to a .28 in my truggy. It's getting hot rodded and I need to make sure that's the plan before I let my B5 go.
I'll know next week if you PM me. I sent all my motors (
4) this week to the mod shop, so for $20 I had him throw a fresh pinch on it. It will basically need to be broken in and has a gallon on it.
