    I still think you should run the crankcase breather to the tank, if your worried about the crap then run it into a catch tank first so the muck gets caught, I recon that muck is from the running in process, every glow engine I've ever used needed running in before it was any good and I think this engine is the same! It'll run like crap for the first couple of tanks which you need to put through rich then slowly lean out the mix until it runs free .

      I said exactly the same thing, almost word for word. He couldn't get it running right because it was a fuel delivery issue. Period. full stop. There's no fuel pump on it and it'll require a LOT of fuel to run all 8 cylinders. SO many nitro cars have a pressure tube running from the exhaust to the fuel tank.
      Also, I see on the above video, the breather tube is stuck down the side of the fuel tank. I don't know if the tube he stuck it in goes all the way through or not.

    Good move using MKS servos. A lot of people think power and strength are the measures of a "good" servo. Obviously, very important attributes but what really separates the good from the bad is how true they hold center. For bashing, not so important. For heli, planes or high level racing, it makes all the difference in the world.

    It’s going to be very mechanically challenging to get that petrol engine inside of that chassis. The main reason is the steering.
    You’re gonna need a steering rack that will clear the bottom of the engine which means you’ll have to design one
    have one made or print one
