Make a note of where you fitted this shim, as you will be removing it after initial break in. Replace the head button and cooling head, making sure you nip up the head bolts in a cross pattern to ensure even tightening down of the head.
Thanks buddy.Either that shim or my comp heat heater ,or the combo of both made this break in quite easy.I will run a few mor tanks in practice tomarrow and then pull the breakin shim and start race tuning inher in.
I think I am going to like this motor. I through the Losi RE10 pipe on it to add a little to the bottom end.I ran the rE11 on the 3port but whated a little more snap.I think the GX5 and the RE10 will be a good combo.
I have room in the truck.We are headed to LCRC about 140 miles one way.Leaving around 5:30 am.Pack your stuff and we will pick you up or you can follow us out.We got room.
