Look what posty brought :) http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS5.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS6.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS7.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS8.jpg Then look what I did :) Gearing is Robinson Racing hardened steel, 18/48. Break in will commence when my mate gets back from shopping with the missus - he insists I don't go without him. http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS1.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS2.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS3.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/STS4.jpg Mwahah - report to follow...  SignatureDan - on his PC Nice!.. However, I think I would clean my fuel tank if it looked like that before opening it! =) > Look what posty brought :) > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Mwahah - report to follow...

Thanks, I always hated going through the break-in, I appreciate you doing it for me. > Look what posty brought :) > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Mwahah - report to follow... I broke it in, took aaaaaaaaaaaages, and began to tweak it. Didn't get it fully tuned as you'll see from the vid, still belching smoke, but by christ there was clearly some grunt there - still to loosen up as well... http://www.danontherun.com/videos_files/STS.wmv Click here for 3mb vid... You can't tell from the vid, because it's a bit lame, but it was belching smoke everywhere, leaving a haze over the carpark. Also, I suspect my clutch springs could do with been a bit stiffer... Cheers SignatureDan - on his PC Looks like that is going to be an awesome power plant. Second already seems to be shifting in too soon. (depends on your preference though) Will be nice to see a vid of it winding out a bit. Good Luck tuning. > > Look what posty brought :) > > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Cheers > Looks like that is going to be an awesome power plant. > Second already seems to be shifting in too soon.

Heres another small movie made just before the manifold gave up the ghost yesterday - as you can see she's still very rich - and as you can probably here the stock HPi Teflon 3 shoe cluch is loosing it's valiant battle....

Build quality looks to be pretty good there Dan. Be sure to keep us posted on how it runs after it's loosened up a bit.................and for gawd's sake man, clean yer' fuel tank!!!! Doc >> Look what posty brought :) >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > posted on how it runs after it's loosened up a bit.................and for > gawd's sake man, clean yer' fuel tank!!!! Yea it does feel *very* well made. The guy who runs Bolton Model Mart posted photos of the innards of one on the MaxBashing forum, they seem very, very well made and ported. It's starting to loosen up nicely now... SignatureDan - on his PC > Yea it does feel *very* well made.

How many ports does that beastie have anyways? From your pics it looks to be a small bore/long stroke design. Lotsa torque I'd imagine! Doc >> Yea it does feel *very* well made.

Lotsa torque I'd imagine! 5 port - so it's very middle of the road, just power evvvvverywhere :-) SignatureDan - on his PC > Look what posty brought :) > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Mwahah - report to follow... Looks nice new and shiney :D Just one thing that I'd suggest (apart from cleaning the tank to stop grit getting inside too easily).... move the fuel supply pipe to the other side of the head say from the tank around the LH side of the truck and then across to the carb, use tie wraps (not too tight) to secure the fuel feed and pressure lines together over the transmission. At the moment your fuel is getting pre-heated by the head and that could cause lean running problems later on as you tune it and the temp increases. Won't be much of a problem as the year carries on and the temps drop but come next summer it'll begin to be a problem. Chris >> Look what posty brought :) >> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Chris Nice tip - I have heard of that been a problem actually, but I don't have any more orange fuel tube and don't want it to be different colours :D SignatureDan - on his PC |
