thanks chief
to be honest, (track dependant) having as you say an all round engine is key, but only a small percentage to the overall package as the rest is down to handling, braking and mostly driver skill
I too am a petrol head (drive a tuned 1.8T Seat Leon) and I always say, power is nothing without control
I am on a UK RC forum, and its good for local meets, but so far this forum has simply excelled itself in terms of general and technical knowldge
Funnily enough, I ignored the old skool break in advice on my nitro, and kinda used my own, which reading the "break in bible" on this forum is exactly the same as to what I did so things are running sweet. I am not too concerned about my first engine, its there to be wrecked as I will run many more, so understanding this engine and the bible method of break in will be strongly adhered to for my next engine, which will be this Go 21. engine
