Holy cow... that thing is a BEAST. That thing must RIP!!! love it!!
dude it rips. Still tuning the carb and trying to find a good gear combo. 3rd gear comes in too early but last time I had the GPS sensor on it it hit 46mph and I know it had more in it.
 
What a gorgeous beast. I'm digging the cf tvp's but at the same time and am nervous of them. Stunning paintwork too. My only complaint is the tvps ain't clay dusted like the rest of the chassis.

How do you like tgat .32? I got an xl I need a motor for and can't pick between the .28 and .32.

I always give a quick spray with my air hose with the body on and off after running. The CFs are 3mm and with the TVP design they're plenty strong. My other custom big block 2 speed chassis is entirely made from CF and it's very rigid. I want to love the ZR32 but it's been fighting me. I'm not sure if it's been tuning issues or if I'm missing something but the tune hasn't been stable. Some times it's drowning in fuel some times it's got the chewbacca chatter. I know the needle settings from LRP are way off so I'm trying to figure out a decent base tune running it with 30%
