dont have the new flash palyer, but have you changed anything with your new engine. Does it run fine at part throttle and higher?

I thought you were joking..... ...sounds good, looks good,....although, to be straight with you....those rear tires are too small to be sticking way out like that....can u lose the spacers or are they offset like that.....not complaining, just some friendly advice man...btw..how many hp you think.???
