What engine do you run? There were several failures of the R&P and such when HSR WEst started the 2L vintage series and the engines were revving pretty high. This was cured by using a lube pump and cooler and in the last several years I haven't heard of any?

Who makes those? |

QUOTE(LvSteveH @ May 4 2006, 11:07 AM) That's the goal. I've been having "issues" with my heel-toe technique. The engine drops revs so fast that it's really somewhat pointless. The 'flywheel' is ultralight and the car has a tilton clutch with almost no mass--fast, but not smooth. |

Who makes those? MoCaL makes a tranny pump as seen at racerpartswholesale.com. (electric) |
