Thanks for you help guys, much appreciated!

@Team Kamikaze,

nice to hear that you liked the Lostallo track. It is one of the best rc circuits in Europe. On my list, a close second would be Fiorano in Italy. The have even flood lights and do night runs

You said that you shimmed your engines to 0.9mm. Is this total amount of shims (0.7mm is stock) or actual head gap? I assume the former...

You are right, almost no one makes 5mins when we talk about world championship performance. In my group, most guys ran 5 mins, but the times are 1.5 sec slower then worlds level.

I struggled to make 5 mins with the Flash engine and threw away 2 qualifying heats because of that. I tried to let the clutch engage earlier, but did not like the punch out of the slow 180 degree corners afterwards. Any tips on how to improve milage?

Thanks again, Stefan
