Keep in mind that Ito is a very skilled racer, so these engine modifications may prove to be overpowered for many racers. However, this setup in the hands of one racer at the HPI Challenge race let him make up 3 laps on the field in the course of one race! And this racer only races once every couple of months.
Good luck racing!
