Hey, thanks SEF! That is exactly what I was hoping to hear on the using all the stock shaft components that came with the original engine! Makes things a hell of a lot easier!
And, is that break in method on the first page of this thread NOT the heat cycle method? If its not, I would probably like to do the heat cycle method myself, I imagine its a little easier than the method on this thread, and harder to mess up! lol The method at the beginning of the thread seems like it has a lot of moving parts, and seems there are a lot of things I could mess up! lol Anyway, thanks again. Cant wait to get it going when I get it!

Hey Chad,
I run this engine in my 8ight-T 2.0 and it's incredible. Just finished breaking it in using a heat cycle method. Not at full race tune yet, but this thing still has tons of grunt to get the truggy moving. Also, running slightly rich I was getting 8.5-9 minutes of runtime.
Look on the first post of the first page of this thread and you will find the break in and tuning methods.
I used the stock motor mounts, flywheel, clutch, clutchbell, collet, and hardware. Shim the clutchbell appropriately. Use the clutch setup that Drake uses. 2 composite/green spring and 2 aluminum/gold springs. Replace clutch bearings and shoes if necessary. I also geared it 13/48 for a relatively large 1/8 track (Revelation Raceway).
Enjoy.
