Hi Guys, I have a few quick questions
How are the plus 12-3SCT (or 12-3ST, etc) engines? I read a post saying they are more torquey than the 353, but how do they compared to other brands for top end? Other engines I'm considering are the OS TZ Speed Spec 2 and Sirio Evo 4 (I hear sirio bearings give up quickly). I'm also interested in how the novas compare for longevity, and ease of tuning (and how they hold their tune)
Also what is the best all around pipe for the engine? I've used a 2630 before and really liked it
Thanks

I ran the 12-3ST for most of last year and it's a great engine.
In the beginning I tried to run it with the 2630 as recommended by NR and the engine was a dud. Very high temps and no power.
Somebody recommended the Max 2602 pipe then and all of a sudden the engine became a monster.
It doesn't rev as much as the older short stroke models, but you can compensate with gearing.
I modified the crank timing on mine slightly and now it also revs....
In the mean time we've found out that the 2630 pipes are not performing very consistantly. One is good, the next is crap. Also, they are very sensitive to damage. A small dent can make them useless.

hey guys, another question on recommendations. getting back into nitro touring soon. i bought a used jp modified plus 12-3. based on the posts above, i want to try the max 2602 pipe but i can only find the outlaw version in stock for a good price. since it's used can anyone post:
1 - a good starting point for carb settings for running 30%
2 - head shims for 30%
3 - what type of plug for hot weather? c7tf?

Serpent has the same pipe, Mega 2602 and HoBoa has a perfect copy, I think it's called GPX4, here is a pic of the pipe:

Hi Stefan
Mega 2607 ist gleich Picco
Das beliebteste Rohr auf der letzten DM :-)

Gut zu wissen dass diese Rohr auch geht.
Ich fahre ja jetzt IDM und da geht's auf jeden Fall
