2.5 gallons through S25, producing more power

[rossb]

I just passed the 2.5 gallon mark with my Motorsaver and Uniflow equipped S-25. I am running the stock 15/49 gearing and the stock ribbed pipe. I was running around on the street with a neighborhood T-Maxx today and when I hit the throttle hard from a dead stop my truck was riding major wheelies. If I stayed in the gas it would flip over hard on its back and if I backed off the gas a bit I could ride a big wheelie down the street while accelerating hard into second gear. It was very impressive.

I did not touch my tuning or my spur and my motor is still running around 250 degrees. My truck has been easily riding big wheelies in grass for a while now but wheelies on pavement is something new. It will even ride a nice wheelie from a low speed roll on pavement. I will try to get some pictures of wheelies on the street.

I am very happy with this motor.

Mines doing the same thing,the more fuel it has through it the better she runs? I could see replacing it with another S-25 should anything go wrong with it.

I don't even know how much gallons or tanks I have through my savage since I use the same gallon of fuel for three different R/C's.
