i used to rum one with the OS P3 plug and sidewinder.
They have so much power that you spend half the race chasing the tail. I'd recomend running a soft clutch and a higher gearing.
they dont have the top end of a .21 and they can guzzel the nitro a little

everyone i know that had one now runs a .21 instead. most i race with run a Ninja JX21, GRP 21 MRT, RB WS7 / C6, OS 21

i had one in my st-rr and it was good lots of power had great top end and would get 9.5 min a tank.but made the switch to losi 8t and it was way to much. the losi is lighter and the with the driving style of a losi its just to loose. but i would go with a .21.

I ran an os .28xz in my rc8 for kicks I could handle it and might put it back in. I am sure I have better lap times with my grp.21 but the fun factor is off the charts with the .28xz it is just crazy fun with the rc8.The .28 is bomb proof.

I also have a new 28 and need to find a good glowplug. I see alot of guys use the #3. I live in Boston where it's not hot till july. I want to start driving as soon as this 48 inches of snow melts. What # os plugs do you guys think I should try??

.21 or 23-28 for a tuggy? i have a 8t and was thinking of getting a .24 or25. my local track is way bigger than the tracks in use to running. i was thinking .25 would be good. but i dont want to spend $$ on a new engine if its not the right fit. roar says up to 21 for buggies and up to 28 for truggy. i think most truggies use 21's. any feedback on this topic?

Amen! I had a crazy modified v spec for a while and it was fun but truck is much faster for lap times and easier to control with the os speed motor pulling duties.
