Monty, can you tell me if the 528xr and the .21 +4 use the same rear bearing? I just bought a ceramic rear bearing I was going to put in my 528 but am now thinking I'd like to put it in my + 4 if it will work. Thanks!

i thought you said that was going into a truggy ? the lighter cranked 5 ports such as p5xs are awesome for truggy , a little more torque with the lighter crank

That one went into my MBX6 buggy, would it be OK in a Truggy?
Runtimes with me driving like a madman as still being a little on the fat side of a good tune is around 7 1/2 min.

So how about a "hotmods" p5xs ?
Is it go to go or would you need to Houstonise it?
And what pipe would you recommend?

Do you think that the

Plus 4C is worth the extra money to a novice racer

Thanks
