XT won't start

[jimmyjay]

I am almost done rebuilding the engine with the ESP champ port. I tore the thing completely apart, replaced the bearings, seals, gaskets, and gave it a good cleaning out. I hope to be done and test running this weekend.

I have a savage flux that's been satisfying my RC addiction so far, but I sure miss the noise and smell of the gasser!

Awesome. Let us know how it goes!

Testing this weekend went really well. The engine fired up easily. Maybe it's just me, but it sounded like a whole differant animal compared to the stock engine - It sounded way more "grunty". I broke it in running rich for a tank and a half... I can't wait to get it out again and start to power tune it.

Thanks for your help guys!

Yeah, it's got some balls, for sure! Glad you like it, dude. I love mine!

Cool...

Glad it went good. The race ported engines do sound different. More throaty and louder also. Gota love it!

Bet it sounds pretty beast with that Jetpro.

It does sound beastly - It's loud! I fired it up next to a buddy's Savage 4.6 and you could barely hear his truck!

Lol. Nice!

Post a vid of it running, if you can. Love the sound these engines make.

I'll try to get some up soon!

Looking forward to it!
