    Best budget 3ch or 4ch radio setup?

    Sounds all good, but buck per buck Flysky. No question is high quality, much better than FS, but for such application its more than enough. Plus, there are tons of mods / upgrades that can be done to the Flysky brand. The videos and tutorials are endless.

    Weedwacker motor

    Interesting to hear from someone having the truck for such considerable time. So, what things continuously break, or every so often? Its weak point and what have you done to make the truck bash proof? (or lets say, at least reliable to run a few tanks and have some fun...)

    Weedwacker motor

    That drivetrain must be new with such a small engine. Wow still have that 23 on that truck. It will be night and day from a 23 to a 32 full crank engine w a pipe, some minor port work and a 8k clutch spring, to unleash all that power.

    Weedwacker motor

    There was this guy in YT and he was able to slap a weedwacker engine, it was very depressing to watch. The guy swore he had achieved the greatest thing ever, doing 5mph laps in his driveway. It steered like a school bus and stiff as a on-road car. The only thing to make it great was to change...

    Engine upgrades for newbies???

    The I want to shave 10 pounds in one week will not work. Instead of living in denial, accept the feedback, go do some wrenching instead of wasting time in argumentative replies. The discourage is part of the learning process, not everyone was born to be an astronaut or a building custodian...

    Engine upgrades for newbies???

    Its very difficult to find others porting work online. The first thing you need to learn is how the engine works and the principles of pipe chambers, compression, piston port vs reed. Here are a few hints; two stroke dirt bikes, chainsaws, pocket bikes, gopeds... I did my homework and most...

    Fuel oct, ethenol, break-in, etc.

    Do follow the manufacturer's recommendations on how many ounces it takes to make whichever ratio needed.

    Lightened flywheel

    If you say so. Not offended one bit. You are missing by a ball park, and your thoughts are all over the place. You cant connect the dots and it clearly shows your lack of reasoning. Keep digging your own grave on this thread cause all its doing is making you look like a fool. The reason you...

    Lightened flywheel

    Either or, its a few pounds, not much of a difference... power to FL weight, the 4 cylinder is heavier. Anyway, I am way past all this, and already gave my two cents on what should be done. The application is for drag racing, excessive heat, the more metal the better, not the opposite way...

There is a reason why a high revving engine has a heavier fw, hp vs...

    Lightened flywheel

    The piston port design is a very unbalanced engine. Messing with the flywheel is detrimental to the longevity of the engine. The vibrations need to go somewhere, but although may not seem like it, the FW does the job of a dampener, and dissipates heat (it needs to go somewhere). A two stroke...

    Have you ever seen the flywheel of a 4 cylinder vs. a V8 engine? Which one do you think is heavier?

    Help Engine won't start

    Next time it does not start, no need to leave open overnight. Simply close both needles, and crank up, it will start using the excess fuel in the engine. It will eventually die as it will run out of fuel, but make sure the truck is facing toward a wall, or be ready to kill the engine, a quick...
