as far as pipes , what are you gonna be running it on?

truggy the 053mr will be just fine , buggy i would recommend and 086hs or if you can get the real deal a 9886/41021 , 2013 pipe also works great
Ya I figured for truggy the 053 would be the ticket.Ran it last year on an RB B9 and it was amazing. This year I can only do one class so I went with truggy. Just had a blast with it last year. But funds are tight this year so have to be a lil more conservative.

Thanks for the quick response I really appreciate it. One more thing, Im by no means a noob but Im no expert and have broken in many motors, but theres always room for more knowledge. Im thinking of an ascendancy clutch for this year as ive read good things. Im not sure how much a clutch affects break in I never gave it any thought, does spring weight or clutch setup matter for a more successful break in?

no , not really

been pretty happy with the little bit better quality of the werks clutches , same design as the ascendancy just a little more polished i think they are both around 55$

truggy - all aluminum with the 1.0mm springs for most everywhere , if its a bit slick i would switch to 2x alu. w/1.0mm and 2 x carbon w/.9mm


lmk if you need any thing , i carry the werks clutches also but they are not listed on the site at www.houstonsengineservice.com

To those running the BTTS, what run times are you getting? I've had maybe 40 tanks in mine, and so far getting only 9 minutes. Running in the tropics (Philippines) so I guess the heat and humidity have a lot to do with it.

Using a 2084 pipe and the 41029 manifold.

Are these the engines from Eduardo?

You should be seeing way better than 9 minutes

Look at the other racers on the same track, is everybody getting around 9min? Is everybody getting more? Some tracks just get horrible mileage and some get really good mileage, humidity will definitely play a part, heat will definitely play a part. You have a setup on there fire excellent mileage but if you are running buggy I would recommend the 9901ss, lmk if you need any

Eduardo (Jody) orders from me often, if you haven't got together with him do so and we will get you taken care of

Can anyone tell me what the overall shim thickness should be on a 421B for 30%?

Thanks

Jody! --> yes, I run with him almost every week, if not more than that. In fact, we often pick adjacent spots on the drivers' stand for most races (on either side of a post to lean on).

Got mine from Dogbone. I think Jody got one as well, though I'm not sure what he ran at the race today.

Let me check if the 9901 I have is the SS.

PM me a link to your shop please.

Hey guys, is the +4C Team worth the extra 50 or so bucks over the +4Tuned? Is there actual on track performance/durability differences? Just looking for a solid race motor for my 2.0 buggy.

Thankyou......871

I would say yes since you get a rear ceramic bearing that usually cost $110 for only 50 extra. the port timing was slightly changed between the 2 as well to increase runtimes ever so slightly.
