This thing is going to be a sweet Engine

Ok I don't undertsand how they could design a whole new carb that doesn't work like any other on the market and then go and put the idle needle on the wrong side. I know it won't effect performance of the engine in any way what so ever but it is a pain.

other than that its a top looking engine

what do you mean? besides the base the carb looks normal to me?

The base is what I meant sorry, it doesn't go into the block like any other carb I am sure it works like every other carb as far as slide and needles

i agree with the f*** idle needle what a pain in the ass

i dont see whats so crazy about the idle needle?

+1....... I think it would be easier having the needle on that side of the carb since all the other adjustments are that side. I am sure once we get the enging that won't be a problem. Maybe Rick or Brent can chime in on the engine.

Seen it in person and from the questions i have asked to a specific driver he really likes it. Very linear power with good bottom end (no jumpy bits whilst going through the rev range) and a good fuel economy. 11mins they were doing and the engine wasn't lean at all (nice smoke trail everywhere). Definetly a engine to keep a eye on :nod:

motor
 

I know Thunder Tiger makes this engine, any one know who is making the O'donnell.

motor
 

Any one !!!! Is it a secret, is it made by STS or somthing?

has anyone heard anything more about this eng or possible release date, would love to get one for summer

that makes two of us.. i keep hearing it is close but i have no eta?

I was told as soon as they can get over 7min on a tank of fuel

there still trying stuff with the motor from what i heard.. they are trying to get run time up to par with some of the other motors...

id rather they didnt just rush it to get it out on the market but if it isnt out by april ill have to find something else:(

i agree... i heard they are still testing different combinations trying to find the best one

actually i hope other manufacturers pic up the bolted carb desighn i really like that

yeah that is an awesome idea for sure

I think the REEDY engine will be fine with the fuel. I know Rick said he could go the distance, so do not worry.

As for the release date I think we are looking at least another month or two. As some of you had posted AE/REEDY should not rush the engine and I am sure they will not. Their track record for putting out good products is top notch and they will not rush such important product.

just my 2 cents

Thanks

7min is nothing spectacular. i get 9min a tank with my Nova BF and my friend gets 13 with his V-spec turbo.....yes....13.

Made in Taiwan by Thunder Tiger.:nod::nod::nod:
i already make a test before,it's awesome.

how does everyone know they are only getting 7 minutes? i have never seen that posted or stated. there are many variables that factor in to fuel mileage

I think the guys are going back to the Worlds and the fuel mileage that they saw from Ryan M. REEDY Engine.

The problem is that the race was bak in September and the Team has been doing a ton of R & D. I am sure the King , Ryan, Brent , and Rick have al been testing different things to bring us the best engine out there.

I also know that IFMAR rules are different when it comes to the size of the tank. I am sure Ryan can go longer than 7 minutes now.


Ryan is great driver and to do so well with a new engine at the Worlds was awsome.

Just hang in there guys it will be worth the wait.

Dont believe the fuel mileage excuses. The motor can go 11 minutes, i have seen saxton do it a few times.

thats where i got it from. yea i guess no one posted it...just this guy.:sneaky:

I heard it will be out soon.

race
 

I live in Arizona and see the motor run two times a week. The motor just wont run in STOCK trim like the motors they want it to run like. In Richard Saxton trim it might go 11min. I am not saying the motor is going to be bad, because it's not. Just before you run out and get one, let some one else try it first.:nod:

Good plan. Okay, I'll try it first.

Wouldnt that also be good advice before you start saying what it can and cant do?

+1

motor
 

Enjoy the motor, I am sure it will be great.

I am not sure I follow the trim part of your statement.

Thanks

Kevin

yea i dont get that either

LMMFAO..................oh god i'm still laughing, thanks man that caught me off gaurd!!!!




this is one engine i'm keen to have a run with, and if they take there time to release it cos they want to get it right then happy days to Reedy for making the effort to get it right.

besides i would rather read "when is it coming out" than "Reedy recall engines"

yeah i do not think that the king has special super powers for tuning! lol

i cannot wait for it to come out

something to think about
 

Hey Guys,

I think we are all hoping for the same thing and that is a dependable engine that does not break the bank.

I have seen the Worlds DVD and Brent knew what fuel stops he needed for Ryan M. because of his driving style. Also if you also look at the gearing that Ryan M. used you will see that the 16/46 gives a ton of punch. The punch that Ryan likes on his RC8 might not be the feel you and I want with our RC8. With that being said the engine might get better fuel milage than we saw at the Worlds. This in no means takes anything away from Ryan M. , I wish I could drive half as good he does in his sleep LOL.

I also know that the Team has made some changes from the Worlds to allow the engine to tune easier. There is more but that is all I am saying.

My point is this do not judge the engine on one driver judge it on the name that Reedy has built over the years.

+1 good point

Weekend Recap
 

Hey Guys,

As most of you know the Midwest Nitro Championship race was held this past weekend and the Reedy engine did a great job with several new racers using it in their Buggies an Truggies.

The Reedy engine powered 3 drivers into the A Main in Buggy and 2 into the A Main of Truggy.

Ryan Maifield finished 2nd in both classes with his Reedy powered RC8/RC8T
J.R. Mitch finished 7th in both classes with his Reedy powered RC8/RC8T

And AE top Race Reporter and Team Manager Brent Thielke finished 9th in the Buggy A main with his Reedy powered RC8.

I hope this is a sign that engine can run withe the big boyz and that it will be released soon

Information will be released this week!

Maifield said in his interview on liverc.com that he ran production engines and that he expected them to be available around March. I forget how long he said he was getting per tank but it wasnt bad at all. He said it was very smooth and powerful and compared it to the OS Speed.

Someone I know who was at the race said Maifield is strapped everywhere and constantly ripping the throttle and Tebo was so smooth you couldnt even hear his engine run. I dont think they pitted that far apart.
