Ain't the best video, and quite frankly I couldn't even pin it really. Was like driving on ice.

Perhaps a better video in the future.
is that thing rich as hell?

what pipe you running?
that thing is fast what spur/clutchbell are you running
There is some weather that is not good for nitro. I would say that is it.
Lean that thing out!!!

sounds like it
Its running a Novarossi 528xr 8port w/jp2 pipe. 17/46 gearing, bald crimefighters for tires. These are the basher tires that are useless for anything other than pavement. Better tires would have helped me get it off the line faster, and given me less problems on roll starts but I knew the tires would be a problem. The salt didn't help traction either.

Still, on dry pavement even rich as it is it'll whip itself around or get into a 4 wheel drift when its pinned.

Weather was about 27*F outside. The heat sink was wrapped with tinfoil under the body to hold heat.

This is only the 2nd tank I've ever had run through the engine in that buggy. I should hopefully receive my other 528xr back soo to drop back into the LSP.
sorry bro but tires had nothing to do with that lol Lean er out alot top and bottom. the wheel spin would make it sound leaner than it is really lol
Never said it was lean, I know its rich. Its only the 2nd tank I've had on that motor. When it came it was extremely lean. Far too lean. So I took it back to break-in settings and had to retune it. Its only the 2nd time I've driven it since I got it a about a month ago.

The tires were crimefighters, but ar so slick now that there isn't any sign left of the tread, just scratches in the rubber from the pavement. No traction with those tires. A new set of moabs, crimefighters, or any other tire would have been preferable but I'd rather save those for when I was running on grass, or an actual track.
