I raced nitro 1/8 for Xray and then was with the Futaba/OS/Hobbico Factory Team for a bit. Travel was too much with no compensation for travel costs (I got free product but travelling almost every weekend got expensive) and the races were getting bigger and bigger, running into 2-3 in the morning; it just stopped being fun. Met a lot of good people racing over the years though. Lol, I found this article on Red R/C from a race I won in 2007

Mardi Gras Nitro Open

Sorry for the thread derail

Do you have to get both or can you get by with out the auto tune?and where did you get a larger exhaust tip?
Its better to have the autotune. If you dont get it, maybe see if someone has a tune they can send you. The default adjustments on the PCV seem to be a little rich as it is. Only 1 o2 needed. I made the tip but i have saw them for sale on ebay a while back.

Does the at 200 auto tune that comes w 1 sensor also come w the required weld in bung they don’t say.I found a great deal from Dennis Kirk for a close out commander ,now need to get the auto tune.Does not look like the upgraded sensor fits in the factory sensor hole.Thanx again for all the information you have posted on this forum ,regarding all sorts of upgrades.

Mine did not. You will probably need a standard M18 o2 bung. The stock Honda O2 is still used with the later model kits plus I think it is a M12 or M14 thread.

The latest model kits do come with a bung you can wed in for the AT.. But no stock 02 bypass plug. However, the Africa twin 02 eliminator plug I ordered from England is still working.

Thanks
