Well I finaly got around to installing the 523 I have had for almost 10 months. I didnt want to put it in and deal with some of the issues I have heard so much about.
I started with the Revo Platinum Edition reciever and fuel tank (Originaly Just a Revo 3.3) and experienced the "left turn lean" issue. A little frustration set in.
A fellow racer used the motor and didnt have a problem with it. He used the Tekno RX Fuel tank conversion with a losi 8T 150 cc fuel tank. So I regretably re installed the Tekno mount with the same tank. well I ran a 15 minute B main in wich I finished 2nd to bump up to the A main. I then ran a 30 min A main and didnt experience the dreaded "left turn lean" issue.
I also used the T Maxx throttle linkage post to do a mod I read somewhere else (I think on this forum)
The Losi 8T tank has a "clunk" in it that can move around with the fuel. Now I cant say this is a gaurentied fix for the problem but it has worked for two of us. So hope this helps more of you. Give it a try.

Works really good. Give it a try! I cant take credir for these as none of them were "my idea", but it does work and I wanted to share with everyone my success. A little work required but with good results.

Would I have to go single steering servo if I used the set up you have? Everything looks super cool dude. Thanks for your help.

Yes I do run a single servo. I think single servo is the way to go and switched long befor running this setup. I'll be posting some pics of my own personal setup later this evening. Just headin out to the track for a bit now. lol had to clean it befor preping for this outing. So it was a good time to take some pics.
