I'm a current team member for Caster and purchased my motor in Dec. I've run a gallon through and the power is perfect for my driving style. Plenty of power in all ranges. Was a bit of a pain to break in but thats expected with a new motor regardless of the make and model. I still heat it with the gun before a race. I"m a happy racer with the motor and ZX-1.5 buggy combo.

What plugs do you guys run?

COBRARACING

Dont hold it against them the chinese and taiwanese have a small understading of the western world and if there is no western face involved you might as well get use to the names Grenade,raven,rapida etc.

But the name doesnt mean the product is crap .Im sure the engine mentioned above will be a great engine .I wish caster alot of success

just my two cents worth

odonells plugs ran great in my gotechs ...much better than o.s. plugs ....97t would be a good plug if your gonna be in 60-80 degree weather ....hotter than that run a 99t ...if its cold where you are run a 77t ....inmho

I always ran OS P3's in my GO's until recently I have used the Odonnell 77T's. Wierd thing is one is a ultra hot and one is like a medium but I can go back an forth between the plugs and not change my tune.

77t = odonells version off hot ....never understood why people ran p-3's especially in hot environments ...ive always run medium plugs ...and work just fine .....i think someone just said hey o.s p3's are the plug to run in a gotech ..and people just took that as law

ahhh. cool to know. And yes I think people think P3's are the norm from what people say. It is why I ran them and did not have a problem.

Hey guys what kind of run times are you getting out of the MK2

Temp isn't the only thing to consider when choosing a plug, you have to take into account how far above sea level you are, how much moisture there is in the air, what nitro % your using and what % of oil your using. A hotter plug will make the motor easier to start and give it a better idle, a colder plug will give you a little better performance.

i like cold plugs with 30%, p8, 99t or dynamite #8.

try odonells 97t's you will spend less on plugs especially with that high compression motor

+1 and especially in tampa

it all does have an effect ..i think ambient temp is most important ...and i also think people run p3's for tthe idle like you said ,,,but you can just tune the low speed needle properly and you dont have to worry about the idle

I approved the name, I live in Iowa, and I am basically the international face of Caster Racing.

I fully understood the consequences of it, but I was assured by Mario Rossi and Go that it would be as durable or more durable than any other motor out there as it has some "options" in it for increased power and durability.

I figured it was a great calculated risk as to name it grenade would assure that the name would never be forgotten and it has worked exactly how I wanted.

I have heard through the grapevine that some Caster guy put a v spec head on it and it bolted right on because there was someone giving them a hard time about running a grenade and that there was no way that some stupid Caster thing would beat their vspec.....

Long story short, after they won, they showed the other guy the motor and it said mk2 on the side. Apparenly they put the grenade head back on and did it again next round.

I think my whole team is class clowns.....gotta love them.
