I had a MIP 4n1 with inserts and no springs back in the 90's. Motors were much hotter back then so you needed all the bite you could get.

@@thebug4046 That sounds about right. They were originally like $40-45 in the late 90's. It was tough to justify the cost upfront unless you knew someone else that had one. Same with the 360 Stinger kit. It was tough to spend $110 on that back then, but it came with a rear shock tower, and the balance and throttle response benefits were awesome. It's a shame the market is so thin now on Nitro stadium trucks.

I ran those sh 6cc gas engines this evening and they run amazing with pump gas but they don't like that expensive stuff in the cans that is non ethanol! They have a weird looking glow plug though with a taper and no copper washer! Still trying to get the carburetor adjustment on the echo blower but those Amazon tools didn't work for me unfortunately!

Awesome vid whats the clutch part number I've got hold of the clutch nut bell and have a flywheel on the way i brought a traxxas clutch but looks diffrent too yours best way to explain it is a slightly bigger then the clutch in the MIP kit with the spring on the front i do have a mip clutch and fly wheel but its too small so i can't start the engine with my starter box with the conventional engine mount i have seen a trinity engine mount but the dudes on ebay are charging hundreds for em an this clutch idea was way cheaper
