VAC 45

[Albert Araujo]

I know about the .010 off the opening side of the rotor. Did you check the head volume when you got it to GO? it comes about 3.1 (tiny for a 45 engine on 60-65 percent nitro) & did you use the Stk CMB Vac45 Carb? (clunky little thing with the way it is made )

Joe,

Have not checked head volume after I got it running. I am using a Zoom Carb on both the 45 and the twin. As for the head volume I kept increasing it till the detonation went away. Head clearance is .008.

Too much free info, where is my pipe?

[Albert Araujo]

if you know this engine it has a extremely small head volume and opens the rotor late after ABDC. sooooooooooo it needs a little help.

Joe,

I cut .010 off of the rotor on the closing side. Head button was an issue so I had to increase the volume till it was happy. You are getting too much info for free. You need to send me a Rossi 80 pipe for my sons X Mono. As for my twin I plan to spank you with the 80's. (have my work cut out for me)

Holy Sh%t... In lane 15.

Ray,

Believe it or not I was never on the throttle except when in the turns. I had a bad start and settled for second from the start of the race. This was my first heat driving a rigger in 25 years so I did not want to mess it up. I need to practice staying in lane 1-3 instead of ten.

Anders it was a pleasure to meet you, Great videos-keep em coming. B)

BTW- Im pretty sure you also have a great "still shot" of Foley's special head button removal tool

That boat is running LOOSE.. Fast as heck but still could give up 5 MPH and be faster than everyone else out there. I would save that set up for running time trials at the Nats or something and get it back on the water... Never less VERY spectacular to watch.

 

[Tim Kish]

Great running boat , engine and pipe are right on the money.

Very crisp sound , on and off the throttle B) .
