So good so far 👍🏽	February 22, 2023
taco eater : Lane Adams from Huntington Beach , CA United States

Gave me some trouble out the box with the machined timing mark on the stator being off by a couple mm and having to make my own mark and figuring out grounding the ht coil to the frame but ended up custom mounting it and worked perfect . Have it at 13° btdc rn and will advance it til 20°+ when I install temp gauge and brace my clutch and I’ll get back to y’all…

Awesome upgrade	January 9, 2023
taco eater : Philip Starkweather from Sinclairville, NY United States

I run with my 70cc airsal kit. It's fool proof. I had the magnets shatter on me (glue broke loose) emailed HPI directly and they sent me another flywheel for free! If unsure how to install this watch Cornped's YouTube video.

This ignition will rip your arms out of your socke	June 6, 2022
taco eater : Thomas Peffer from Lakewood, OH United States

Installed this ignition on a Puch Newport e50 kitted with Treats 70cc reed. Much faster spin up and top speed jumped 5 mph due to the retarding ignition. Set it at 2.5mm btdc and blast! Thank you Treatland for fast shipping as always😎

shit the bed after 2 miles	February 21, 2022
taco eater : mihaly pazar from egg harbor township, NJ United States

EDIT THERES 2 MARKS on the stator DO NOT mind those, the directions make you think ones for cw and the other for ccw, find tdc and line up logo to logo, will report back. But believe people that had issue all did the same thing i did. it will run fine for a few miles then run like shit after

Had treats CDI with blue cdi box nice blue spark hitting 40s, felt like it wanted to rip my dick skin off, but was nervous about when it would quit. won Super Bowl square party at work, figured why not. easily installed sounded great at 2mm BTDC, took it on a trip. no low end and couldn't get above 25 mph, 6 plugs later new boot, new HT coil weak weak spark. temps never went above 200...hopefully will get this replaced. but who knows how long this one will last.

works great!	August 25, 2021
taco eater : Troll from IL United States

man i had nothing but problems when my buddy set this up-- then i hit up Treats and they set me right!

1) red locktite on the inside of the flywheel
2) blue locktite on the nut
3) you should have one of these (or similar)-- anything else is a PITA/impossible- https://www.treatland.tv/buzzetti-micrometer-p/buzzetti-ignition-micrometer.htm
4) have a piston stop to really get it cranked on after
5) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH9IVF1RMVQ is good but the curve is misunderstood in the video-- the HPI doesn't advance it, it retards the curve as RPMs go up in order to keep the engine cooler... so you can run it more aggressively.

on the burning out issue:
1) the electrical components get hot, you shouldn't be stuffing them under the frame (we made a mount for outside
2) keep it dry

those two things seem to be the two biggest issues with it.

Hot spark, and i can run 12v AC/DC LEDs from a boat now! hot diggity i can see down the road at night!

I'll update if blows up

Best Ignition EVER!	February 1, 2021
taco eater : Maize from Saint Paul, MN United States

I use this ignition on all my bikes. They fun faster and cooler! The flywheel does NOT have a woodruff key so you gotta know how to set the timing. I made a tutorial if you get stuck. https://tinyurl.com/y5d8dxm7

Serious ignition system	November 17, 2020
taco eater : Jared Diaz from Laguna Niguel, CA United States

Update: The coil took a crap on me after 100 miles or so. Trying to get a new one under warranty was next to impossible due to where these are made. I ended up going back to stock and still have my junked hpi in a box. Sure would be nice to just get a new coil but whatev.

This mini rotor cdI setup greatly improves throttle response and torque with the advantage of a timing curve that maximizes performance across the powerband. I was shocked at how snappy my throttle is and my low end torque really woke up with this ignition system. A+

Awesome for 30 minutes	October 22, 2020
taco eater : Michael Kuriger from Santa Clarita, CA United States

Great performance, 60+ mph and 350 degree temps. But it only lasted 30 minutes or so before it failed. Maybe I got a dud?

Awesome.	October 12, 2020
taco eater : Quattro Audi from KENSINGTON, CT United States

Very strong system. Can run 12v LEDs now. Have it on a 65cc metrakit/phbg/mlm cali setup and it rips. Would buy for all my bikes but I'm trying the powerdynamo next.

Hope the ripped skin on you face has healed.
I had to use chicken wire and a staple gun to get my face back on.
