max engine
Hey D what glow plug are you using in your mova max? I am using a nova rossi C5TF the weather is warm to cool and we use 16% nitro, it is just that i have tried the clutch mod and the settings and my car is still very slow on accelration, iam now worried that i have damaged the engine and which was caused by using wrong glow plug or running it too lean:(

Well, I'm back in Germany and will have to look through all these postings now, to see what is worth adding to the FAQ :eek:
Found a nice 2106 Engine waiting for my 710 from the nice guys from www.the-border.com :nod: Just need two servos now and I'll be up-and-running :D |
Originally posted by Pyramid A bit longer on total length and also from pin to end of spur.. 6mm (inner diameter) precision shims would do the job find to remove a little sloops on the first spur gear. But the weight saving is much more important since it TURNS... |

Look at the plug coil to see if the coil is distorted. If it is and you're blowing plugs every now and then, it could be that your engine has too much compression. Look in depth engine tuning tips, look no further than Dennis Richey's site. Proceed to tune your engine from rich to lean. Try to pinch the fuel line going into the carb as close as possible. Your engine should not die immediately. If it does, then too lean. If it takes a long time to die, then you're too rich. When the engine is cold, can you turn the flywheel easily or do you still feel the resistance? I'll cut and paste a posting I did on the NovaMax engine thread; If I need to tune the engine to race, what I do is best to set the LSN to 4 turns out and HSN to 6 turns out. I do this on most engines. Idle screw is set such that the slide carb is having about 1 mm hole opening when closed. You need to keep throttling to keep the engine running. Set the LSN to lean it till the engine idle RPM goes up a little and then back out a little till the idle remains constant. That should be the ball park LSN setting. Now tune the HSN till you get the engine revving to the highest RPM very easily. Then back out / richen the HSN a little. Test it on track to fine tune. If the idle is dropping, lean the LSN a little bit more. Hope that helps. |

Originally posted by InitialD Did they give you another free engine?
