I did say I was guessing.....

Just trying to help Giz.

Well guys, here is the little race report.

Chilean Nationals, stage 3.

(previous results, first stage = 4th, second stage didnt raced due to motorcycle accident).

I asked for doctor permission to race and he told me to race as much i can take pain if the pain appears, so i headed to the track today morning.

Qualifying. The car (remember, its a R2 RTR) worked very very good, and i ended only making minor adjustments to test out. The track its very very tight and twisty with high and rithmic jumping. After first and second rounds of 3 of qualifying i was in 5th position overall and as you kill your worst round i was kind of comfortable on that spot and was just about to not race the last round but i decided to give a try with a little change on the setup and wow, made the first place and ended on 3rd place overall.

Finals (A-Main : 40 minutes). The start of the race was a little complicated due to high traffic, all 10 drivers racing very very tight and on the edge. After 5 minutes i was in 7th place due to a bad mistake but on good pace, so by minute 10 i took 4th place and by minute 20 i took the lead. I cant tell how good the car was working on the track, and BAAAMMMM i receive a bad hit on the rear and broke the wing support by minute 21 and by minute 22 the wing completely came off (stop and go penalty to the driver but well, it killed me). First time ever racing without a wing, accelerating a lot on jumps to cover the nose down desire of the car ... i drove and maintained the first place for 12 minutes without the wing and finally on minute 34 of 40 out of nothing the screw that secures the clutchbell FELL OFF !!! ... DAAAMNNNN ... that was all for me and ended 7th .

Now i have strange feeling, im very dissapointed by my result (specially because im feeling a lot of pain in my arm and came out of the race with no good result) but at the same time im very very happy with the car, wich performed awesome.

David!

thanks again ed for the EBM5 .awsome power and and great fuel milage in my truggy 7+ min and i only used 1/2 tanks of fuel.the front straight at motorama was 175 foot long corner to corner and this engine pulled the whole way .

Ed- was nice to meet you this weekend and getting schooled in "Glow Plug 101" training.

The new ebm5 race prep ran flawless all weekend at motorama. Ed it was great meeting you and talking with you, looking forward to running the fully mod version. The new engines turned alot of heads all weekend, you guys should look in to them, top notch mills.

ok so I have been running P3 glow plugs in my 21. 7pt turbo. Is there any other glow plugs that I could use that may work better or no?

OS p4

isnt that a hotter plug?

no p4's are colder.. the colder plug will make more power, but will have a smaller tuning window..

o ok lol. Where I race the weather changes very rapidly so its hard to tune. When its hot out the motor get a little hotter than I wanted. I know how to tune a motor and all so i had the piston sleeve and rod replaced. Im just wanting to try something new
