Right! Those caps are nice indeed
but the torx are also nice and doesn’t strip. The ones I bought are 8.8 grade

I'd call and see what's up before you buy another. Always a chance of it being miss packaged.

Gotta say the exhaust fitment is kinda of poopy. The end of the exhaust where it exits is rubbing against the vertical chassis arm and the tip is contacting the inner body cage.
Also, the bolts that secure the exhaust to the head are too short and the springs are too soft. I did however change them out to better springs and longer bolts.
I guess I have to grind down the vertical chassis arm in order to clear the exhaust.

Have a pic? Didn't have that issue with my pipe. And what filter are you using? I know my pre-filter are very tight over the filter

Yoh made sure that spring wasn't slipping back out off the hole..
. Pipe is pretty close to the head for sure
..I'm gonna check mine..that a 55 er 65?Also I see your vertigo quick release is against pipe is that on purpose to keep it away from your cage?

65cc. The quick release will not go on the other side because the tip is pressing against the cage. I also have to cut down the case in order for the tip to clear.
Really no adjustments at all.
Also, any recommendations on a throttle linkage? The one that is supplied is just flimsy.

Great minds think alike
My cage touches the exhaust and made a burned mark on it already. Not too bad.
you can’t tell from the pic, but mine doesn’t touch the side upright. I can stick 2 business cards in the gap
As for the throttle linkage, you can buy a 4-40 rod and drill the collar stop to 4-40. If it’s to much work I would just buy it https://www.detroitperformancerc.com/product-page/upgrade-throttle-linkage-with-quick-release-kit

So I went ahead and grind the arm down. I also installed a stiffer vibration isolator because the one that comes with it is just too soft.
I also installed a bolt through the bracket with a nylon nut so when the pull start handle moves up and down when running the car it doesn't contact the kill switch and turn off the car.
My luck sucks... Foam on the filter came off while I was applying foam oil. Probably a defect but good that It happened now and not when I was running the car. Bought a better one from DDM.

Decided to go the old fashion way as I don't really trust that quick release. Bought the rod from McMaster and is much better quality than the one that comes with it.
Tomorrow I'll be going to get 1 gallon of 110 vpracing leaded gas and hopefully I can start this thing.

Had to fill out a form in order to buy leaded. She said we need the event you are using this race gas. I told no even just personal so she said we can't sell it unless you give us an event. So I told her RCMAX event shootout..
110 leaded $8.32 gallon
101 vp is actually more expensive @ $9.03

Someone didn't tie the knot too good and never hit it with a lighter. Or did the pawls grab the recoil and snag the reel? You will see more unfortunately when you open that recoil up, I'm feeling your pain!...just went through this 2 vids ago.
The delrin pawls may need 1mm machined off if your pullstart reel looks like this.

I think the handles all have 2 nuts
, I have a spare V2 pullstart in case anyone's in need.

I just install the 1 fat nut on the handle.
Got it running in the park and damn gas cap came loose and fell off. This motor vibrates the ground. On the other hand, I definitely need to buy a pair of ear plugs. No joke but this thing can damage your hearing.

What did you choose for gearing?
