Seriously though, I am not a fan of the lower cooling heads, they simply do not work as well but no scratches on the head would be the only plus. As the old saying goes, Function over form.
I still run my HPI head on my Plus4 engines. No problems even through the summer time

The 4 screw holes have the same position, so why not put the HPI head on my Nova? All it tooked was a little bit of grinding on the Nova house. VOILA the worlds first NOPI engine!

Life is simple!

Default Drive train magic

Despite the fact I have worked on every aspect of my vehicles so many times I cannot remember, there is one thing they do I cannot wrap my head around. When sitting on the bump box I will start one wheel turning to listen to my drivetrain. The part I do not get is this; once all four wheels are spinning if I stop one wheel ( eg. grab hold of the right rear wheel) but keep the drivetrain turning, the wheel on the wheel on the opposite corner of the vehicle stops too. Since the drive train is still spinning, how does it do that?

I wouldn't expect there to be any problems with the lower cooling head. It works but I prefer the cooling characteristics of the larger head like plus4c team & FusionX7.
I remember when you did that head mod, pretty sweet even if it does say "HPI".

Monty. What's happening bud? You still alive??

I'm looking to make a comeback and need a couple engines. I'd like to support someone that is somewhat local to me. Let me know what you can do for me on a plus 21-4 btts and a fusion x please. Fusion x a good truggy engine? What's the run time like? Thanks.

Pm prices if you like.

U still doing the nct's? How's the turn outs been the past couple years? Thanks agin and talk to you later.
