New engine

Looks good. Those wheels look awesome on the MT

Yeah I had to put the hpi adapters on for them to work. It seems like a lot of play in the wheels, but I'll test it out tomorrow and see how they work. The original adapters were tighter.

Yes, 16:1 is 8oz. Per gallon. why he wants to go that amount of oil is to properly seal the rings to the cylinder. And one of his reasons to a non synthetic oil is it basically works to well in these high rpm engines (creates blow by). Not trying to create a heated debate here, but it's always good to listen to what the builders recommend. He's been around for a long time and is not new to the scene.

Had to throw down my .02.

I agree, if you are not using 16:1 and non synthetic oil, you will not seize your engine, but you are getting blow by and losing power..

He is not the only builder that highly recommend this ratio/ combo. Quickdraw motors make some of the best boat engines in the world and also says you are losing power at less oil with their motors.
