Yes we have heard of this. Our very own .21RC10GT has a collari 32 in his.
If you wouldn't mind...please Don't Post With The First Letter In Caps. Its hard to read.

I have sent you a reply to your PM. I really do not feel like re-writing it now that I see this thread.
Basically, you need time, money, and lots of patience. Almost everything needs to be upgraded, because it is not made to handle 2x or more horsepower than stock. I am thinking about taking off the Collari, and putting a .21 back on. The .32 is too much power.

mount
To tell you the truth i dont know what kind they are, when i bought it off ebay it just said it was brand new and had never been started, and when i recieved it, it had these motor mounts already on them, they look home made, but my luck they worked perfectly on my rc10
yes this is a two speed clutch bell, I'm thinking of just trying out the first speed to see how it does then maybe moving my engine and just use that second speed, i have other trucks for racing and this truck is just to go straight so I'm thinking the second speed will give me more top speed

With that much power, and that light of a vehicle, you will definitely want to lower your gear ratio. I used a custom mount that is now in production from SSRC Racing (www.ssrcracing.com). I worked with him for a while to get this mount straightened out, and it seems to work perfectly now.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Yeah man. Sounds good. I just used a duratrax pipe from Towerhobbies for like $25. Worked fine. Only thing I had to do was cut the header in half so it pointed towards the front. I couldn't find any bent header to fit without cutting.

thanks
i think i figured it out but still not to sure, i saw alot of metal shavings and it looks like the piece on my engine that is used to start with a starter box is grinding really bad on my chassis so I'm going to raise my engine slightly and hopefully it works.

metal shavings
where did you see these metal shavings? I would not try to start the engine again until I took it apart to see the inside. Metal shavings and these engines are not a good combination.

I See Them By My Right Behind The Clutchbell Where You Would Use A Box Starter, I Will Take It Apart Just To Make Sure, But When I First Got It Started When I Started Breaking In The Engine I Could Just Tell That I Was Gonna Haul Ass.
