I don't no if u've read many of the threads, but a few have said that the Sirio is a brill engine, but if sumthin goes rong ur on ur own! apparently u cant even get in contact with the Sirio company (nothin like Traxxas! ) well lets just hope ur not 1 of the unlucky 1's.

[RangerWRC]

simf40 am going to a bash over wales on the 19th ithink your more the welcome to come let me know you can meet me and follow me over from my house its 45mins and your about 30 mins from me long way but good laugh
i got my sirio mon its new with a tubo button head on it but havent got a glow plug or know where to get one from am running it in on sun
Sweet another UK maxxer

[getinasmaxxsoon]

Hi Scott, hows the Sirio lookin? check out www.modelsportuk.com they deliver within a couple of days an i bet theyv'e got decent glo-plugs! look at "motors" on the left side.
i'v found a article in a magazine that lets u pay 4 a car (Smaxx) over 12 months, i think i may b able 2 con my dad in2 goin wit that deal an getin the car early! (i hope! ) so i might end up goin 2 twmbalum sum time this year! (would b nice!). is it a good idea or not 2 break the Smaxx in in the winter?

[RangerWRC]

Eho mate the sirio looks like a beast compared to my 2.5 and the big bore pipe is hugge me thinks she is gonna be awesome cant wait cheers for the link
breaking in in the winter some say no some say yes just make sure you warm the engine up in the house IE use a hair dryer on the header to warm it up before you take it out and follow the instructions properly and i dont see why you should have anyprobs
people use um in the the winter so whats the diffrence good luck

[getinasmaxxsoon]

Sounds like wen u start her up im gunna hear her from here!
I think i'l get some mulchers 4 the winter then. i'v heard that if u break-in in the winter then the piston an sleeve won't b used to the extra temps of runnin in the summer, but i dont c how 60°f wil make much of a diff 2 a 200°-f300°f engine! i'l get my dad 2 giv traxxas a ring an if they say no, then i'v got more chance of getin the car sooner! hope they say no! did u find ne glo plugs worth buyin?

[simf40]
