[QUOTE=bherzog513;5521304]Mine did something like this. During a long main mine just richend up alot. Come to find out it had a airleak. It was leaking around the fuel nipple. make sure that is tight

bherzog513 you asked:
"Does Kernal Sanders tune the friars that make your KFC chicken? :)"


But does anyone at KFC know the actual "Recipe" NOPER its a Secret actually there was a article about it recently as it need to be moved from one vault to a newer vault.... They had major security !!!!

So with out the 11 herbs and spices can't call them "Mario Rossi Tuned" it would only be called Fried Chicken :lol:

Hey losi is that the non tuned version?

nope

In a 8t whats better a grp 21 or grp 28?

you will almost never need a .28

Is this the right one he should get? He's going to get whatever he buys, powerhouse modded! http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/26092

a .21 is more then enough power. dont judge it till after its first gallon tho, my dad hates his grp right now but it only has 1/2 a gallon, mine has about 1.5 gallons on it and he loves mine. these engines take a while to break n

A buddy told me these engines sort of perfer a certain type of fuel. Are you guys seeing this as well? Any particular brand work better than the next? I'd like to keep using Gen 2 like I use in all my other engines if possible. I don't like the idea of needing to pack two different types of fuel, ya know?

Good Bye Tuned GRP?
 

The GRP engine was very very good engine specialy the tuned one, and now, the guy Mario Rossi leave the company, will the engine will stay the same as the tuned one?

Sad News

http://www.neobuggy.net/modules/news...p?storyid=5785

that is not true at all. At my track, we have 1 with 9 gallons on it. It has been on 20%, 25%, and now 30%. Along with that, it went from odonnels, to nitrothane to byrons gen 2.

All of my GRPs run Byrons Gen 2, 30%. no tuning issues.

+1:nod:

My GRP (tuned) went 9+ gallons as well. It was still going until something scared the piston. I ran mine on Nitrotane, and mostly Gen2. This is by far (IMO) one of the best engines out there. It does take some time to break in fully (1+ gallons), but once it does, it has tons of power, and runs like a champ! Even after each gallon, it really never declined in performance.

Sad to see that Rossi has left the Co. Hopefully this will not be the end of the Tuned version of this engine, or of them at all. That would be BAD!

I ordered the non-tuned, to see how it runs, and to use as a back-up. I hope it runs pretty close to the tuned. I dont expect it to be just as good. We will see.

no and +1 on what others said i am running byrons30% gen2 ...works perfect and head temps after mains are 160-170 maybe 190 after long mains ...

Does any one know the base needel settings

LSN = 6.25 TURNS OUT FROM BOTTOM
HSN= 3.5 TURNS OUT FROM BOTTOM
IDLE GAP = 1-1.28MM

Thanks zixxer had a blast at Nitro Fever yesterday even though I couldn't get my truck off pit row:lol:

hi there i have been offered a realy good deal on the sport promo kit 21 version can anyone tell me what plugs to use they are the standard plugs .also how do these motors compare against the ws7111
cheers inadvance

Ok. Thanx for clearing that up guys.

yes, they use standard, idk what engine the ws7111 is, i never heard of it so i cant say

awesome man so glad yall came out ..it was a pretty good turn out for their season opener ...we hope to have yall back really soon ...let us know of any good racing yalls way and we will try to make it as well ...later

The RB WS7-III will have way better top end preformance, and the GRP will be better on the bottom end. Both engines will last for several gallons and fuel milage may be a little better with the GRP.

has anyone ran the tuned version with sidewinder worlds blend? i have a friend with that combo and we can't seem to get it tuned in. i run a mr ninja and it tunes wonderful, but his just will not tune in to sidewinder. it wants to run 200* and makes "o.k." power. we both run rc8's so i guess it could be a fuel tank issue. this is his third tuned grp and he's on his 4th or 5th fuel tank. just trying to rule out the fuel.

thats the set up i run... grps dont make power until about the gallon mark. the temp range is 160-200. if its in this range your safe.

Could someone tell me what the noise is coming from my GRP tuned. At idle it does not do it but at mid to full throttle then back down to idle there is a ratteling like sound. Almost like the rod is touching the block going up then back down. Checked everything and no rubbing of the rod. BTW the engine runs perfect stays tuned in everyway.

if you run rc8's and have not swapped the tank over to an xray 808 tank you are asking for trouble ...my buddy jyzf destroyed a grp because of associateds in ablilty to fix their gas tank issues ..that and all the 808 tanks were back ordered because everyone running an associated bought one :lol:

[QUOTE=bherzog513;5521304]Bill,The 3 Grp that i got all have went stupid fat at the 3 gallon mark.It has happen to me in practice over the weekend and the motor has no more then 3 gallons on it.I was running it in practice and it was fine and i handed the controller over to Hudson he ran about 5 laps and it was fine, then he handed it back to me and it was so fat that it wouldn't even pull itself around the track.It happen that fast,so just lean it out its fine. my motor never ghost flamed on me i have ran these motor for a year every weekend and they never have let me down. Jason White

I have only used sidewinder 30% in my .21 tuned and no problems besides the ones I create by twisting on the needles too much. Sidewinder does run a little hotter 10-15 degrees but 7+ gallons on the tuned and no problems. You may have a bad gallon of fuel it happens sometimes to any type of fuel.

If you are running the FLS type pipe system check the o-rings that seal the header to the pipe. I had them leak and make my .21 tuned sound very loud. It took a very cold day to see the exhaust escaping out the FLS fitting.

Thanks for the reply, I did notice the o-rings are very hard and dry. Will replace with new ones. Again thanks

I just got a tuned .21 and so far it seems like it is going to be a great engine. Only downside so far is the 8ight 2.0 I got for it to go in came with this nifty 4 way wrench and I decided I would take out the glow plug and check it before I started it and it was so tight it stripped the wrench. :weird: I got it out with another wrench so all it well (well, besides messing up my brand new wrench.)

i havent seen this issue with sidewinder. my engines run the same temps as others

all depends wich Sidewinder you run or fuel for that matter. Fuel that has more oil in it tends to run a little hotter.....

If you outside temps are 80+ and you have a GRP that is still around the 1/2 gallon mark don't be affraid if it hits 200-220. Mine was running right around those temps at the Nitro Challenge and it was 90 degrees outside. After a couple more qualifiers temps started dropping and my engine was running around 180-190.

Just ran my engine again this weekend, and its starting to break in, its making a little more power and it was temping about 150-160 but outside temps were in the 40's.

If your past 1 gallon you shouldn't see temps over 200.

my friends tuned has 2-3 gallons through it. i can hear and feel that its lean, the temps just confirm this. i think he must have some tank issues! after this being his 3rd grp that will not tune and is probably going to burn up, he is not a fan. i keep trying to tell and show him otherwise! i have minimal trouble out of my mario rossi engines!

Hey guys, just got this in a email. Get the grp tuned for about $260...

your lucky you dont live in az... if the n.c was in july it would be 115 :(


but i see what you mean on the new engine. my grp has like 2 gallons or so on it and it runs at 160-165 all day but my dad has maybe 1/2 a gallon and his runs at 220-225.i didnt know what to do and so we took it to mike thrue and he tuned it, he actually leaned it out a tiny bit more and said dont worry about temps, power, or fuel consumsion till after the gallon mark

Exactly:nod:

Hey I know a bunch of guys recommend the dynamite 053 pipe for the non tuned engine but will any of these come even close to its performance. Jp3, sportwerks 053, os 2060, or a jp1? I can get good deals on these, also I have a dynamite 086 so would any of those pipes be better than the 086 on the non tuned version?

How is the non-tuned version of these GRP's? the one with silver head, can anyone tell me how it would do in a truggy? Or is the jpx .21 a better chioce/ extech .21

I was wondering the same thing with those same motors.. I was also wondering about the extech 24 or the GRP 28.

the tuned and non tuned grps are good. ive never owned a non tuned but i heard many good things.
