that's classic bro. Here's my favorite conversation from the Nitro Challenge:
James and Frank; "nick, we're going for steaks after the races, do you want to come?
Nick; "No, I was really looking forward to my bowl of Cheerios"

Had some good luck at Fear Farm last night I ended up with TQ for 1/8 buggy and also took the win in the main. Fear Farm has two tracks to run 1/8 on a large 180ft by 150ft layout and the small electric track that we also run 1/8 on very nice little track with very nice dirt. My clocked B5 was running perfect getting about 9 1/2 min of run time.

First time at the track today with my clocked B5 pro. I am thoroughly impressed with it once again. Fires right up, will idle forever, and easy to tune. Ran great all day at about 220-230 F, with outside track temps at about 90 F. Was getting about 13 minute run times, but it can still be leaned a bit more.
Track is a little slippery, so I may change my clutch from 4 1.0 springs to 2 1.0 and 2 .95 on my M2C variable weight.

This engine really screams on the straight, and has an awesome powerband. I can't wait to get it on a track with a little more traction and see what it can really do. It's still a smooth engine too, so as long as you have a smooth throttle trigger it's excellent. I will post race results tomorrow.

lmao at everyone who said dynamite plugs were crap. no7 medium turbo, excellent excelent power and runtime. My b5 is just flat ridiculous, i swear when it hits the upper rpm i think it's going to blow. I wonder if it will ever slow down, this is with a 7mm stack, i am thinking 9 next time. I am pulling wheelies on the straight with 7 so maybe it will fly with the nine

Dyna plugs have been known to Drop the coils, Or a least the older version's used to. I personally wont touch one if you gave me a Free Box of them. Its a Trust issue.
