Hey guys.
Had it for about a month now (hence my absence
), ran over 1 US Gallon of Byron 30% fuel through it - broken in and tuned perfectly on both high and low end (if slightly rich).
Here's a pic of the vehicle with it's shell on; pity it was the orange body and not the blue ( as i didn't specify which one to send...i wanted to be surprised but was secretly hoping for blue
)
Here's a closeup of the K5.9 with the HPI Ribbed exhaust, which frankly looks much more appealing compared to the silver stock one (and probably less restrictive, which'll = higher RPM + lower temps):
I did a little mod to the 5.9 in the form of Artic Silver 5 thermal paste (which is used in P.C's) between the heatsink and the engine. which does aid in thermal transfer and is worthwhile doing; so long as your very careful not to get even a spec in the crankcase, otherwise say buh-bye 5.9!.
And finally, here's a few other pics:
(^ don't ask me why the dog is so interested. perhaps it's due to the oil sprays + nitro cleaner i use. that or i likely ran through some dog poop on my last run.)
I used a friends mobile phone to take these images. when i can afford my own phone with a decent camera: expect video's on youtube very soon
