Such a sweet buggy.

So what’s the point of the ebis break in ? Or do you do this also to ensure that it’s broken in all the way ?

[@DirtConcept]

From The Drake Racing’s website: Let us break in your nitro engine and save time and fuel in the process. Easy break in service (EBIS) starts out by completely disassembling the engine and submerging the piston, sleeve and rod into a hot oil bath. Once set up we will cycle the engine inside the bath for several thousand cycles. Measurements are taken before and after break in to ensure every engine is consistent during the lapping process. Once the piston is perfectly mated to the inside of the cylinder we then reassemble the engine to factory specs and ensure proper clearances for maximum power and longevity of your engine. We provide the highest quality work in disassembly and reassembly engine. As a courtesy, we set all O.S. Speed and Novarossi carburetors to Adam Drake’s Specs.

love the buggy, if the engine did't say ryan mayfield, i'd have one, he's a dick in real life. nice rig tho, long live nitro...

Willing to bet you’ve never actually met the guy

[@trippjonesiii6566]

met him at silver state. i wasn't inpressed

[@trippjonesiii6566]

i probably should't have said dick, he is the only pro i've met who seems unaproachable. he could have just been mad, i should not judge cuz im not always that polite either. sorry

@@trippjonesiii6566 I met him at wicked he was super nice. He’s probably just the kind of guy that’s really competitive and when he’s in the zone he’s in the zone. I’d go crazy if I kept being approached while I’m getting ready to race or whatnot you know
