Has anyone tried to run the 121VR with the Losi RE-10? I think im going to pick two of these guys up. The track I run is a short to medium size and from what Ive been hearing this mill is all about that. Anyone know where they stock the parts for it? Ive checked Horizon and them seem to be out of stock on pretty much everything.
Thanks i'll update my findings i have only used 053mr. |

Thanks On the other hand, with the Associated 2035 pipe and stock clutch bell he's running out of steam 3/4 of the way down the straight. This is at a consistent 245-250 degrees. We think the 17t will fix this and honestly with all that bottom I doubt it will cause any problems. I'd like to see what a 2050(RE11) and 2060(RE10) pipe does to the 121VR, I'll tell him to throw them on this week and we'll see what happens. -Jake |

SinistiR and I run at XRC in PA, which is definitely short to medium with one 75ft straight. I've watched the 121vr closely while marshalling and honestly it seems to be the best engine for this type of track short of an OS Speed or modded engine. I kept watching closely how it pulled the D8 out of a hairpin that leads directly into a double and came to that conclusion. He can start on throttle while still turning, then punch it just before he straightens out and clear the double with ease. Average engines with good mid to top end power have to swing this hairpin a bit wider in order to clear the double. For our smallish track, this mills punch can really get you around the track fast if used properly.

I forgot about that site, i'll check that out as well. |
Sorry I may have missed it, but I could use OS p3 and p4s with this engine correct?
|
P4 works a little better than the p3. I like the OD97T.

I was actually at that race. I was watching that D8 like a hawk. That thing puurrrred. Thats where I actually made up my mind for the engine. Yeah let me know what his take is on the losi pipes. I actually have both of those pipes. the re-10 is what im using right now on my truggy with my VZB and i wouldn't change it for anything.
megasaxon-thanks again! I forgot about that site, i'll check that out as well. I use exactly the same setup, VZB/RE10 in the MP9. Almost every recommendation I've seen for the VZB has been 2050/RE11 but XRC is my closest and favorite track, so the RE10 seemed like the better choice. |
One of those losi pipes is just a Jammin copy not a OS copy. Straight from Adam Drake.:nod:

These changes helped...
I made some changes on the motor today at Revs in So. Cal.. I had been running a 6mm carb ,p3 plug and 13t c.b. and my motor ran at 240-250 Today Ran a 14t w/ a 97t plug ,TT 2035 ,sealed carb and back plate . It was night and day from my last outing and had more top end (the straight is 200 ft, insane.) cleared all jumps . The outside temp was 80-87 w/ some humidity and the motor temp at 220 and we timed it @ 8:58 w/ pretty hard driving.
Well now that it has kicked @ss on a large lay out I would have to say it is a motor that needs a little more pipe, clutch bell ,plug and restricter tuning than most motors i have ever ran. If you can find the right combo you'll be :nod: |

call tko they should be in stock |
what other sealants are good for sealing up the carb other than green slime. will any RTV sealant do the trick?
|
You can use ThreeBond 1211. Its a liquid silicon that drys hard and is fuel proof. Takes longer to setup but works great and doesnt break down.
