1/8 engines which one to all o.s. and ws711 owners

corado- I've had both. i hated the 421b. with as many motors as I've tuned i will say that was the worst of all of them. .

Funny you should say that flash,i reacon its as easy to tune as the RBs or any other motor I've ever had.
maybe your 421b had probs......... maybe its head was under shimmed, normally to much compression meaqns you have less tolerance for tunning. novas engines are shimmed for a little higher altitude, like about 400mtrs ASL, when i run in auckland nzl at sea level i have to put an extra shim in or i have tunning probs as well.

it wont be fastest at the end of the straightaway

everytime I'm the fastest at the end of our tracks straight away I'm checking the quality of the chain link fence about 1 second later....BTW the fence is quite durable haha.

I've been guilty of this one too. last time i layed the smack down on psunitro, i ended up doing a wallride on the boards at the end of the straight. if i had the balls to have stayed in it, it might have rode it out and got back onto the track. instead i hit the brakes and it fell off the wall and onto its lid. damn, that moment had potential. and our wall at the end of the straight is quite durable too.

Lol I think were ALL guilty of that at some stage or another

...no. but it'll be the fastest out of that turn after the straight and into the next one (provided the driver has the skill to utilize the motors full potential).

good guess mike. i was thinking the same thing after i decided to just move on to another motor. the poor guy who bought that 421b from me couldnt even run it for 3 minutes before it shut down. I'm thinking he never checked it like i told him to. fighting high temps and very unstable running overall. i think ill give him a call and tell him to just give it back to me so i can sort it out for him. that motor just isnt for me- i wanted more and now i have it. why go back, ya know? kinda like staying with a woman after she has cheated on ya...it will never be the same again. lol

i had no chance at winning. i came in 2nd that race. the winner is the best driver at the track in any class. he had a lap on me in 5 minutes. i was having fun cruising out in front of the rest of the guys.

 

[flash]

dont you know how to hack? lol

 

[CorradoPsi]

hehehe, thats what i have jeff (psunitro) for. with as all over the track as he is, he's bound to hit everyone at least once. only problem is, he got me a few times too! it will take me a while to catch up to where steve is. I'm ok with 2nd for now.

all in fun jeff!

 

[psunitro]

LOL,not that you ever ran up on me? Hey I can't hit ya' if you can't get it on the track............
