The last I heard on the gold head Reedy engine was "sometime this fall". They're still finalizing some details on the engine.

Ill be going back to ninja
This motor is a glorified picco p7R...:cry:
|
I am really thinking about Switching out the V-spec to the Reedy mill in my RC8... I love my V-spec.. Tons of power and I run it on the rich side and it still has tons of power...
Any opinions on the switch... Nick |
I can say that at 250 degrees on each motor, this Reedy definitely has more snap on the bottom end than my VZB

Hey i have a few questions about these engines, looking to buy one, however i have a JP-4 pipe and was wondering how these engines run with thiese pipes ?
Also whats the recommended glowplug for these engines, its usuall about 15-25 degrees celcious here, not that humid, i can get ahold of really only OS and RB plugs easily, and maybe novarossi. Any help would be appreciated, this is to go in a 808 buggy too |

Well I dont have the motor my self yet but people are running the OS P3 and P4 and the O'donnell T97
And what economy have people been achieving from them ? as when they first got seen there economy wasnt the best, as seen at last years worlds with maifield, however he seems to have better economy now ? |

Ok thats good, what about pipe ? will a jp-4 be good ? as its more a mid to top end pipe, so may increase the reedys mid to top while taming its bottom end a tiny bit ?

My boy is getting 10 min with the 8mm insert in his MBX6. Power really came alive this weekend with a clutch change and an OS 2050.
Impressive, everyone comments on how it purrrrzzzzz!! |
We got to race with SPEEDSKI and Nick this weekend in Nashville, TN and had a great time racing and sharing info on the 121VR.
Nick's engine had a little more time than I had gotten on mine and it was settled with the OS 2050 pipe. I believe SPEEDSKI was helping him pit, hardly saw them touch a needle on it. Myself, I needed to get some more fuel through my REEDY, I think I was at 1/2 gallon on it when we got there. After several tanks of practice and qual's the engine really settled in. Also, I tested an 053 pipe which worked well for me. Once I tuned to the 053 pipe, approached the 1 gallon mark on fuel, the motor came to life. I ran a 15 min B-main with 1 pit at 7.5 mins no problem. Bumped to the A-main and again pitted at 7.5 min to 8 min easy. Motor never flammed!! |
I bought two 121's right when they came out. One about a week before the other one. I ran a gallon of Byrons 30/11 through the first engine and was never happy with its performance. The bottom end performance was killer, but noting up top. I mean, nothing. I ran P3s and P4s with no change in performance, and a 2035 pipe. I had dirt get past my air filter and roughed the crank up a bit. So I put about half a gallon of the same Byrons fuel through the second engine with the same pipe but only running a P4 now. Then went out ran 3 qualifiers and put her through 22min of a 30 main before my receiver pack died. I can honestly say the performance of this second engine is way better than the first. It has the same bottom end snap, but with alot more top end pull. I am only an hour leaner or so on the hsn and maybe 2 hours leaner on the lsn. I really am happy with how its performing. I have a +1 clutch bell I am going to try. If I can soften the bottom a little more and pick up a little bit more topend, I will be real happy.
With the 8mm insert, I can get 9min in a main with no flame out. I think I can push it to 10min once she has a gallon or so through her. The engine is in a D8. Andy |
