Neal, Are you familar with the Team Orion 5 port discovery engine? I have a gallon on mine, running 30% Odonnell speed blend. I am using the 5 plug. I keep leaning it out and the it will run good for a tank or two then it is rich again. Seems to rich on top more than bottom. I am in North Florida. I am using a Dynomite 053 pipe. Any ideas?

Hoi,

just a few more words about the last races with the clocked Ninja JX21-B01A.

I drive the Ninja for about 20 litres now and it still runs fantastic.
The most drivers stopped at 8-9 minutes last race. I had after 11min a few ml fuel in the tank.

This is my best race season I ever had so far.

My positions in the races this year were:
WOP Place 3
RCCC Hilter Place 2
MCC Silixen Place 3
RCRT Place 4
Osnabrueck Place 2

I ran all races with the Ninja and never had a flame out or somehing else...
It was only necessary to change the front bearing after 15 litres.

I am very happy to watch in the future with a clocked Nova Bonito which is on the way to Neal.

The new track looks very nice. I have to persuade my parents that we will spend our holidays near to your track next year .

Well, thank-you Neal and John for another successful Clockwork powered weekend ( and season )! We our last 3 races of our club's points series crammed into one weekend rather than over the next three. In order for me to take the cheese, I had to win all three races that weekend..a tall order. I didn't TQ once all weekend, making me miss out on 3 bonus point

I qualified poorly for the first A Main, but took the lead on the first lap. With the power I have on tap from my CRE Bonito, I started pulling away from the field. Around the 3 or 4 minute mark, my truggy started behaving abnormally, kicking out at odd times and looping around unexpectedly. Then I noticed that my rear passenger's side tires was wobbling like a mofo. My pit man yelled up at me that I blew my wheel bearings. I told ' OH WELL! ' and kept on driving..I had to win all three races, so stopping for repairs wasn't part of my plan. Luckily I was 2 laps up on the field, and I won the first A main, and got the bonus point for fast lap.

I fixed my bearing, qualified second for the A. Again, I took the lead on the first lap again, until the end, again getting fast lap point..two for two, one more to go. Went for lunch, changed my CB bearings. Man I tell you, that Bonito is one hell of an engine, it has soO much controllable power, at any point in the powerband..simply amazing engine. With the Serpent and the CRE Nova, I've been able to destroy every record I ever set in the past..I couldn't be any more satisfied with my RC gear at the moment!

The third race was a repeat with a win and fast lap again, putting two laps on the field. I don't know what the hell you did to this engine Neal, but you'd better save the recipe. I'm really looking forward to running at CRE Raceway this weekend! I can't wait to see Nick and the boys too

Thanks James, that makes me 2011 points series champ . I had a great weekend. Ever since I switched to Serpent, I keep my pit area pretty empty, I only take the essentials out of my pit bag ( truggy, starter box, fuel and radio ) because it's so reliable, and with the CRE Bonito being so powerful and reliable, I can actually focus on just driving my line. I love it!

Friday night I get the clocked +4 on the track for a little test and tune and to get some fuel through it. I have not been this excited about an engine since my first ever high dollar racing engine 4 years ago which turned out to be a complete dud! I've owned lots of great engines since then including 3 different clocked mills but I can just feel that this nova is going to be the engine that puts that them all in the rear view mirror. It's going in my Agama A8 EVO with a nova 2096 pipe with the short manifold. Werks #6 plug. VP powermaster 30% fuel. M2C variable clutch and I'm starting it with no weights in the flywheel and 2-.95 and 2-1.0 springs, with 4 regular hard aluminum shoes. It's on like Donkey Kong......... To be continued......
