New motor in and fired up looks Bling.

I'll try to today need to run it.

 

[GTS 666]

Ran it today for only 5 minutes its been on and off rain all day. I didnt get a chance for any vid but it launches hard off the line with a early clutch engagement and 31/29 gears. i hope to get some time to test out the speed and tune as i was only running in backyard and simply cant give it full juice. But its easy to tell is got plenty of balls.

In case anyone is wondering, here is what has to be done to the case to clear the drive shaft. I did it to both sides the pic is only of one side of the case. You have to remove the metal almost all the way into the threaded area where the bolt goes through. If you take a little to much off and you can see the bolt in the hole its not a big deal, still plenty of threads in there for the bolt and your gasket goes around the bolt hole so you won't have any leaks.

Thanks mate, The aluminium spacer came with the motor. The flywheel cover is a billet adjustable timing cover from Trevor Simpson. They are available from DDM. I've been away for work but will be home tomorrow so i hope to get some time to run it and get some video of it in action i ran it over Xmas and have not had time to tune it yet but dam its quick with heaps of low end punch.

Thanks Ron E I've seen pics of your redcats and they are excellent too. I just picked up another Hpi baja today that I will be using for the next half a year as the MT will have to wait on the shelve until I get some time at home. Man I will miss it as it is super fast.

One quick question . that inline fuel filter on the fuel cap.just cut the top nipple off and leave it open?

 

[GTS 666]

Yeah I just cut the top nipple off so it looks neater. The filters are only a couple if bucks so if it happens to break or start to get dirty I will just toss it and throw on a new one. I guess it would be easy to clean too.

 

[Ildy666]

[GTS 666]
