i do have a nova carb from, my bf .21 how would that work i should fit that will keep a tune for sure. i think its because rb uses a composite carb insend of a alum one.

RB engines do NOT have carb issues, ive ran RB carbs on other engines.... its because your runnning 20-25% fuel instead of 30%.

we were getting 10+ min with a dynamite 053 pipe. the Odonnell R2 pipe is supposed to get that too. but with me running the JP3 im getting around 8 min, the 053 didnt have enough power for me, i need alot of power now but the 053 still makes good power but its to smooth for me.

yes since Odonnell made it strictly for that engine on tower you can get it for 175 if you add a glow pug i run Odonnell 97T glow puggs, it comes with a standard and turbo button head.

do it! it helps, and is alot easier to change plugs in a hurry, also you should gain a little run time.
