I had Lance break it in for me as well as I HATE doing it myself. Well from the moment I fired it up I have been VERY pleased it idle perfect the first time I started it and has ran great for 2+ gallons. I am not sure what he did to my engine (maybe Lance can chime in) but it has super smooth bottom end and a top end that screams, plus it is getting great run time. I was going to keep it as a backup engine but I like it so much that my Cody King Orion is now my backup!!!
Thanks again RCRENEW (Lance)

Oh and I will be writing a review on your modded Argus also as soon as it gets some more fuel through it. (So far it’s been awesome)
Thanks Kevin for the feedback! The Discovery stock is and average performer, not bad by any means but power wise and top end wise not at the top of the charts. I do a lot of work to the crankshaft, rotor timing and port timing, Compression ratio adjustment. With the adjustments made it really wakes the engine up while still being smooth and controllable. And fuel mileage is not lost and actually increases.
Thanks again ! And keep us posted on how you like my Modded Argus. You should find that it has a buttery smooth powerband with rediculous power
Thanks,
Lance
