Just got my P5 fired up and still doing the breakin, WOW is all I can say again. This engine is impressive and all i have done is turn the high speed needle 1/8th of a turn, still rich and is absolutely a winner. CRE has a serious engine here, smooth and silky never ending revs and i am only at the 3/4 of a gallon. I cant wait for this thing to free up so I can really see what it is campable of, I am running it in a rc8.2 with a m2c clutch and a ofna 086 pipe. I am only getting 7-7:30 run times right now because of how rich I am running but i can easily see 10+ once I get it tuned. Neal and John have out done themselves once again with this engine, can't wait to see what you guys do with the new Roma 25.

So any idea on when we might get a glimpse of that tomato or how much we are looking at? Figure I should start saving my pennies now lol. And yeah The 28 is nasty, almost to nasty for the tracks I am running currently. But we are building a new track here localy at my buddies place and we want to build a replica cre track, can I get some dimensions from you guys since it is a heck of a drive to you for me? And neal you can call me anytime tonight.

We were told sometime in "March" on the ROMA 25 and still no confirmation on pricing yet either.  As soon as I know, I will update the store.  We've got just a couple spoken for already..

Out track is 180 x 80'...We did 3 layouts last year and this is the one we ended the season with for the Canadian RCPro Nationals and were going to keep this layout for atleast 1/2 the upcoming season.

Here's a huge assortment of photos from the current layout.

Started break-in on my P5 yesterday, got 3 thanks through it so far and already I can tell this engine is gonna be special. I think I might even like it almost as much as my bonito. Time will tell! I'm gonna run a few more tanks through it today. I wanna get this thing broke in. How many tanks should I put on it before I put it on the track to race?

Neal keeps telling me it's going to take 2 gallons for it to be completly broke in, I put mine on the track on the 6th tank. I just make sure to run it rich and turn the high speed 1-2 hours per tank if it is anything like my nova 28-7 you will know when it's time to race tune. This is my personal way of doing it not saying it is right or the best but it works good for me.

Got another half gallon through this baby today, now at a gallon and a half. Man this thing just keeps getting better and better idled forever without loading up and still not at a race tune and was getting 10 minutes out of it today with a 086 pipe.

I hope you are as happy as I am with this beast, put another 4 tanks through mine today and it finally dropped it's nuts. I didn't know it was possible to wheelie a 1/8 scale buggy sown a 60' straight until today.
