i just bought a re11, yet to try it. i am selling a mugen erfra 2042 (2060/re10) for 109 shipped.

i'll update my findings i have only used 053mr.

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.

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.

i would think they will hjave the parts in stock soon, but there are a few sellers on ebay that have parts in stock, search for "121vr" on ebay, should bring the parts up. Also the the Losi/Associated Parts House has some stuff in stock as well...

Yea please update, tempted to keep the 2060 i have on ebay.

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.

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.

Do you race at XRC? I usually run my MP9, might be switching to truggy soon.

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.

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

Well I was there Aug 7th and it was my first time at that track. Im always over at Hobby Hut. I loved that track though, awesome layout. Hobby Hut is the same way, a smaller layout. Actually i think it is even smaller than XRC. The RE-10 is really good for the price and performance IMO. I was running the all blue losi 8 2.0 buggy and truggy. I had graphics on my dish wheels if you remember seeing it. haha. I think im going to try and make the next race though. Do you recommend the Reedy 121vr? Ive been hooked on the VZBs since they came out. I just want to change it up. I'll be running it in both buggy and truggy. Ive had my eye on this thing for awhile now. Its just my VZBs seem to last me forever. Which is a good thing. Hope to see you at the track Jake!!

Does anyone have the rear bearing size, is it a 14x25.4x6 ? Thanks...

14x25.0x6
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.
