Nice thread chap, you'll love that engine she's a beast!

[SirusDviruS]

Cheers mate hope so it's got some big boots to fill (the picco's)!

[J.K]

What happened to the Picco? I'd say the Picco is prob better quality, but for the price of the Fastrax the power is pretty impressive! Mine gets bashed and also used on a track aswell and she's perfectly at home wherever she is! What pipe are you running?

[SirusDviruS]

Sold the picco on, fancied a change and some longer run time would be a bonus (.28 - .21)

Still have the OFNA/Hyper 8.5? pipe from page 1, looking for a JP-3, possibly a JP-4 to finish the project though I won't be getting the engine ready for running in untill I get a Jammin fitted.

Very nice build.Can I ask what the fuel filter does on the exhaust pressure line?I have seen them fitted but not sure what they do.

[SirusDviruS]

Ta

Stops any crud that gets in the exhaust being blown into the tank via the pressure hose

Couple of tried & tested finished pics

Things I've killed bashing:

Carbon effect rear spoiler. Soon as it flexes the carbon cracked off ,( shame because it looked awesome.

Aerial tube pfffft

The last 2 original nanda block hex's. She's now running much better AR rims with nanda tyres.

Pretty much BOMB PROOF

[Hyper-d]

Sweet buggy dude that carbon wing looked really nice!

[Andythecrane]

great build.

 

Is that Enduro engine hard to pull start?

[SirusDviruS]

Cheers guys.

Nope, enduro is not hard to pullstart. The trick (as always) is to loosen the glow plug a bit before starting.

So far it's been an absolute joy to own (enduro) very well behaved.

[froggy8]

that is a very nice hyper mate!

 

i have just got that engine for my 8 eu and man it was really tight! had to heat it up 200f for it to start otherwise it kept getting stuck at tdc. when it did start, it was really fast and i havent even tuned it yet!

 

bet after you finished building it, you didnt want to take it out to get it dirty did you? lol

[SirusDviruS]

Really didn't want to get it dirty no scratched the brand new chassis plate on a random little bit of brick in the middle of a field too yes I'm a tart!

Had tones of fun though, bloody shifts!

I Graphogened the piston & liner before first start which help with the pinch

[Andythecrane]

You did what to the piston and liner.....?
