I can't believe that Serpent/Mega brings out a "new and improved" conrod without testing it....
But if they did...I would be very disappointed.
If Palmaris can produce a good conrod (I am using one), why can't Serpent/Mega/Picco??

If your asking if I saw any of the broken conrods; no I didnt.
This was probably an odd case of Serpent's new conrod breaking, who knows...
All I know, Edgar has been running his Mega Picco with Palmaris's conrod for a while now, and so far he hasnt broken his.
If I aint mistaking, Palmaris conrod's are made from a different material than Serpent's conrods, which is I believe the key for their strength.

If he blew 2 different conrods in the same engine on the same day, it was either installing the conrod backwards or the pin on the crank was worn.

Hey guys...
Speaking of conrods....I just uploaded some pictures of recent tests my father (Palmaris) has been doing on different conrods. Go to www.palmarisracing.com and on the left navigation click on palmaris racing and than technology....scroll all the way down and u will see the pictures....if these type of pictures interest you...let me know and i will be more than happy to upload some more here on rctech for people to see the different stress areas as determined by my father and his friends....
Also as i know, most of the companys make conrods out of materials that use monodirectional materials....and We at palmaris Racing use multidirectional materials...this is the difference...for a more complex explanation you may want to contact my father..
Thanks guys!!

Hi guys, I have some questions that I hope someone can answer.
How does the Mega ZX12, RB V12 (not the Rody), and the OS 12TZ compare? Do they have a similar power curve? Which one is easier to tune or holds a tune better? Does one have a wider sweet spot than the other (tune range and power/gear range)? Is one more reliable than the other? Which one would be better for a nitro noob? Thanks

Not only does it like to run rich, it also doesn't have a fuel milage problem.
It must be an efficient engine.

The ninja .12 motors (MR12-T01) will be very fast out of the box with no mods. And the price will be competative comparable to any serio or novarossi based engines. These engines are scheduled for release mid-April.

At the moment, in my opinion, Mega, OS and Sirio are on the same level.....
