Hi. I have tried the 3501. The 3501 makes the engine a little slower, and hotter than the 2601 which it resmebles. The 3501 has one baffle hole instead of 5 in the 2601. The pipe gets better mileage, but it is hardly worth the power loss to me. I just was not feeling it on the track at all.

I have had the 2652 on backorder since it came out. The US importer has not brought them in even at many requests. It seems I may never get to try one.

If the 2652 is to the 2630 what the 3501 is to the 2601 which I am pretty sure it is. That means the new pipes are going to get better fuel mileage, at the expense of some power. Maybe worth it at some tracks, if you are running out of fuel.

2nd place at Turkish nationals 2nd leg with my m353r.

Changed conrod after 5 liters of %16 nitro fuel. There was some play.

After almost 2 gallons of fuel, bearings, sleeve, crankshaft, everything is ok. It is the most reliable engine I have ever used. Thanks Uriah.

Hi Uriah,

I'm looking at some modified engines from your website and got some questions:

- Do you have enough experience with the Flash to recommend it? This little sucker carries a hefty price tag and I heard rumours about european team drivers who switched back to the 359 (of course with the Flash head...) because they had issues with the shaft not fitting into the case (warped case, missaligned bearings, etc.)

- Talking about the older Nova mills: What should be my engine of choice for tracks which require a lot of torque (flat out sweepers leading onto 180feet straights)? The 359 or the Cordoba? Mileage is also important, with the right tune and pipe I can make slightly over 5mins on our tracks here. Could I consider the 35+21 as well

- Pricing of the Cordoba: You offer the unmodified Cordoba for 499$ and the modified for 699$. Normally your custom modification goes for 150$. Any plans to alter the price of the modified Cordoba soon?

Thanks a lot foor looking into this and very best regards,

Stefan

Grinder,

Could you compare the performance difference between the 35+21, the Cordoba 21 and the Flash 21? I am pleased with the Murnan/Flash 21. It has
good bottom, but great mid-range and top-end. Also maybe a few words
about the Picco P9 Evo3.

What would you reccomend for a "Best bang for the Buck practice and club
race engine"?

Thanks,
Dale

Hi. I have done a lot of testing with the C9. It is a very fast engine. I can compare it very closely to the 35+21 insice. The performance is very similar to the 35+21.

The RBM3 is just plain wicked.

Hi. The 35+21 crankshaft will not fit into the C5 Case. The 35+21 uses a 14.5mm crankshaft. The C5 uses a 14mm crankshaft. You could turn the 14.5 down to 14.

Hi. I have not had any problems with the Flash. The price if the Flash is too high. I would say the Flash is slightly faster than the 35+21. I guess it is up to the customer do decide if they want to spend the extra dough for it. I will run the modified 35+21 for the money. I do not think the Flash has enough extra speed to warrant the increase in price. Especially if you suck a defective glowplug through one. The Flash is definitely better than the 359.

For the short tracks that require lots of torque, I go with the 35+21. The MM 35+21, and MM Cordoba perform very close to the same.

The pricing has been updated.

The stock 35+21 has more top end, and less bottom end than the Cordoba engine. Modified they perform the same.

The Flash has more midrange, and more peak HP than the 35+21, and Cordoba. The Flash has slightly less torque than the 35+21, but more peak HP.

The best bang for the $ is the Picco P9R, and the 35+21. The Picco is cheaper, but it will not last like the Novarossi. The Novarossi is also easier to tune when near the performance limit.
