Ok..Here is a short vid this morning playing 5 minutes in the ally way..Before the rain came
I sat the camera on the tri-pod ..placed out of the way where I stand as the car would not hit the camera.....I had a good laugh ..from this as I hit the tri-pod with my foot
and knocked it down.....You will hear the car for aabout 10 seconds..it got behind my truck
stuck by the front wheel....Rain came just after I bumped the tri-pod over....
I know it's not the greatest vid... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsYvTA1mIRY
But it was fun just for a bit...Slawhammer
 
Thanks guys...Yeah it was a good laugh ...I don't run the alley way much...
only when I make adjustments or changes..If it's going to break down it will in the first 10
minutes....Then I have to drive about 5 to 10 miles to where I run at.....Made that drive
only to have the car break down in the first 10 minutes....So now I got smarter.....
try it out here before I leave......This engine is still being broke in yet so it will get better
and loosen up....I will do a couple vids where I run it......Slawhammer
 
Well the Helmet Cam thing will have to wait..I needed new wheels & tires....
I ordered 2 baja star rear wheels..foam inserts for the rear..Blue bead Locks...
Hostile AT Rear Tire's......This way I have a matched set all the way around..
Front & Rear....I can rotate the tires for ware........So when I go to the place run
my car I will just set up the tri-pod on my 1/1 Truck Hood and take a vid then....
weather forcast this week ..not good rain all week till Friday.....Slawhammer
 
Just waitin for the dam rain to quite...Need to get out and run the hell out of my car
want to go up too the place I run with a good grass area and post up a vid...
The engine is getting loose and has better spool up now...that engine has some great
potental for some crazy power.....Slawhammer
 
Hey CSP..yeah we get hit all the time with rain ..seem to be in that band from the north & south to make it just right for rain.....seems like 2 good days out of the week for nice weather.....Maybe I should have a airboat..run on land & water..Slawhammer
 
Well the rain quit..sun is out..so may dry things up some..So I can still get out..
I want to do a couple of asphalt runs on video......engine seems to be working real well
see how long this lasts...unless I get stupid and crazy.....my time too run for a bit...
we have all been there getting crazy on the throttle....WOT stuff..letting it rip.....
just to much fun is all....then some dam rock gets in the way or post ya know...
Bam...now fix it time....Slawhammer
 
The Rain stopped for a bit the sun came out ..dried things up some what..
I went to mini mall area..I think only 1 big store there yet....
So I got a few minutes of run time...Nothing that great...No real place there to open wide open...area is too short for a shut down run out if high speed pass....

Csp..Yeah that engine is getting looser....but all in all the 26cc race ported head kit
makes a great engine....The 27.2cc with this Rn Fat Monster pipe is said to have some
crazy power..by my race friends over sea's........The ADA Head kit is another good head kit
simular to the 29cc billet head.......I will build any 1 of these three...Slawhammer
 
Hey Bigger The Better....I run the Hostile AT tires on evey thing..dirt..grass..gravel..
tarmack...they have been the best all around tire for me so far....I just ordered a second
set..that way I will have at's all the way around..easy to rotate for tire ware....
There worth the money....Just don't hammer it on tarmack to start off.....they grip good
in all conditions....I love those tires....Slawhammer
 
Rain Day here again.....So the old slawhammer was busy for a good inspection day and
repair of my car....new internal rear diff gears...in fact all new gears...pinion.spur.transfer
and diff gear..new bearings in the gear plate...repacked the wheel bearings....
checked all nuts,bolts, screws..for being tight...charged up the batterys....new air filter
foam (duel)inner & outer...As I was running on black top yesterday the engine sounded a little off....That Marine head is real picky to tune..I did check the plug before running
it was black..but getting on it about 3/4 throttle for a few runs there..I checked the plug again and it was white.......the engine is either on/off tune....seems to run
slightly hot....like not getting proper air flow to the cooling head....For what is engine is
it is a scrammer..it haul's a$$ ........................
I think I am about done with this and move on to a different engine build.....
So I may have a Dark Soul Cooling Head up for sale.....,,,
I have always wanted to build up G260Rc engine...so I may go that route....or the other
engine is a 27.2 cc that this RN Fat Monster PIPE is made for to begin with....
I will get out in the morning if no rain again..........slawhammer
 
Well I checked the engine over...all was good...nothing wrong..cylinder looks good
same with the piston & ring......Only thing is I can figure out is the engine was heat
strokin..it was a 85 degree day..and I was pushing the engine for high speed runs....
This morning I set the needles fatter for more fuel (Rich)..it is 60 degrees out now...
I did change the air filter ..all new duel foam...all new gears..plus the rear diff internal gears.....fired right up...let warm up a bit....I drove it around a bit in the ally way
for testing it out..all seemed ok....I will check the plug color..and be going to a place
that I can run off road........Slawhammer
 
I am not sure about selling my car,,it is all fg now...I can build up a different engine...
I can sell the Dark Soul Alloy Cooling Head....May be some one else will want to try there
luck with the marine stuff........That marine cylinder & cooling head make some crazy power
Looking at building a G260RC engine..........Slawhammer
