    I’ll take a picture to show mine (funarrr, funarrrr). Kinda of a specialist need, RC is proper off-roading with a max of 40 kmph / 25 mph. Hence lots of cooling required!

    OOOOO that's helpful Loafer ! My viscus fan still works great without shroud. I was thinking the electric fan full size of radiator has it's own shroud. Contemplating front install for space between rad and engine...no fan on engine side. Or can...

    If it's the cam.. Once the hard surface has worn off they wear down the rest of the way in no time at all. Miles, maybe 100s not thousands

    The misfire has suddenly started, but I don’t disagree it could be the cam. Looking at changing that in the next 6 months. The engine starts and ticks over beautifully. Just bad misfire in the top third of the rev range and poor power...

    NGK. I've never had trouble with them. Dad used to have a marine shop and used many, many thousands. Had one faulty one, ever. I run NGK in my VWs and the Disco 1 (actually, everything, in honesty 🤣 ) High RPM misfire can be a worn cam too, if...

    The car came with a set of Champions in, and a new set of 8x N9YC Champions plus a new set of 8x BPR8ES. I did a plug change to the new champions (no difference to the misfire at high revs / under load) and yesterday changed to the NGKs. It...

    My viscous pulls through the rad from the engine side, so the twin fans I have at the front blow air through to assist. What little air flow I get at max revs, whilst doing 10 kmph through a massive donga (oooooh, errrrrr missus) is going the...
