AB Mods Racing Engines

Wow, the Jlr is still getting better in my ntc3 with all the lightweight mods I did to the drivetrain, but I still think there might be another 5grams to lose on the AE three shoe flywheel, and another 20grams to lose between the AE two speed and AE/losi lcd axles.....

I can tell you guys first hand AB Mods does amazing work . Ive used all the big named "modders" out there and Ab mods has delivered the best product time and time again. Don't get me wrong some of the other guys out there have given me a great product no doubt better than stock and some have delivered me paper weights and provided me zero info why they told me not touch the shim stack provided while I'm trying to light 65% in the hole. Ab does stellar work every single time I have sent him an engine. Just tell him what car you platform you are trying to power and its intent ie: track, drag,more fuel mileage etc...and he will deliver . His 35+21 in drag form is unreal ...I compared it back to back on the same day with same fuel vs a OS r21 before and it was a massive difference in power, rpm achieved and drive ability. I think has done a ton of those lol. I use the OS r21 as my control engine btw. He turned my Memphisto into a ballistic missle..no joke I'd like to compare His drag modded Memphisto to any other Drag modded .21..it straight gets it . He just sent me my lil .12 JLR which I'll be breaking in the next few weeks. The man knows what he is doing and his engines reflect it. He's done close to 10 engines for me know and each one shines in its respected platform. He did a Roma for me that I have compared to another modders Roma in my test buggy and its a bit faster even running 15 degrees cooler all things equal..it even sounds different on the pipe. I know this is the On road section but I have to mention his Fx 5k Royale ..this is my fave buggy /truggy engine and now I own 3-4 of them well I had him drag mod on for me just to see what we can get out of it and let me tell you its the fastest .21 off road I own and will murder any stock on road .21 out there in 132feet . I literally own 9 diff on road .21s to compare to so I have a good idea of their potential stock . All my engines are tested with a plethora of manifolds and exhausts which is critical to get he max performance or mileage out the car/truck so I wasn't just slapping on one exhaust and calling it a day. I am not sponsored by him , I'm not benefitting anything by posting this I'm just an extremely happy client and want to share my results that Ab mods has provided me.Just ell him what you are looking to accomplish and he will get it to you, be careful what you ask for bec if you tell him to make you the nastiest off road engine don't contact him saying your slower now bec the car wont hook or cant keep the car from blowing the tires off it .His Roma did just that to my buggy while dialing in the boat pipe lol. Ab mods Drag Roma+ 17t bell+50% nitro+ tuned Boat pipe = ruins tires literally killed them in 2 tanks in the middle from ballooning so hard they turned into pizza cutters on wot passes on the asphalt to the point of wearing through the rubber into the foam
good show

Thanks for the props and mention its much appreciated! And i believe i know who this is.... Had a known place send you an engine supposedly shimmed for 65% nitro that obviously had absolutely no clue how to shim properly for high nitro such as 65%... Was shimmed to death and back with a huge stack LOL. Its crazy the things some people do in this industry to sell an engine... from crazy claims to wild crazy cuts all over the sleeve and crank that actually hurt performance.. but oh it looks cool!
BTW guys my email seems to be fixed on my website. Just make sure to check your junk folders if you have send an email to me. Thanks

Yeahhh you know who that guy is , well no need to cry over spoiled milk at this point lol... expensive gallon of milk I just want to add lol. I give props where props is due . We are apart of a dying hobby and if I can get you some extra biz I know we can keep some people around nitro instead of going to the E side . I’ll be out of town tomorrow for a week but when I get back I’ll try to button up a couple build and get you some vids of your work before I start the move.

I did not have a chance to race my .12jlr ntc3 this year...Maybe next year....I have optimized, lightened the two speed to the max, and reshimmed every component in there on top of grinding the gearboxes for lots of clearance. Man, those gearbox clearances were really tight with pinion gears rubbing everywhere...Got them freed up now...Can't wait to test next summer....See ya...

I was only able to lose two grams off the three shoe flywheel...Oh well...Hopefully I can find a titanium racing two speed input shaft(ti9511)....I am also hoping to find another jlr tuned to be race modified when Abmods starts to mod nitro engines again...Nowadays the .12 engines suck big time....Cheers and Happy New Year Adam !!!!

Correct, but most of that extra one gram is in the middle, close to the center of rotation, which will not make a big difference in acceleration...I guess I could try drilling the shoes to lose that one gram, but, since I already lost 10g with the(19T/25T) aluminum bell, there is not much more to gain from there now...On to the two speed from now on . I got 8grams left to lose over there....
By the way the two shoe flywheel can lose alot more weight, but looks very frail afterwards....
