I'm desperate to run it again! Getting itchy thumbs... I think i need to slow it down though, the 7.5 is mental in it, cant keep the front wheels on the ground, but it does make me grin a lot! 😊
Yeah, I've recently put new seal packs in mine as one started leaking. they were all pretty knackered as you can imagine! Other than that, they're pretty easy to build consistently.

So long as you have plenty of idlers I'd say go crazy. I used to go through idlers pretty rapidly from memory with a 12 triple. these days we just run silver can in vintage and I have to say it is some of the most enjoyable racing I've done. yes it's slow, but not as slow as you'd think, and it does look after ageing plastics pretty well
