Im finishing up my 8th gallon on this engine. Still runs strong, idles perfect, and i have yet to replace anything on it. I will defintely buy another one. The only gripe i have is it seems like the crankcase metal is too soft. Ive stripped three screws on the block. Maybe to much force on them but ive never had a problem with cranking down on screws on my other engines. Anyone else have this issue?

I got one yesterday second hand ... and it's awesome !!! A huge step up to my rtr nitro engine. It's still heaps tight so i gotta wait till the pinch wears away so i can race tune it... all in all i think it's great!! The price is awesome too !!!

i havent had that issue but i have not taken the motor of the mounts but once to convert to xray from losi. at the same gallon mark with the same results. love this motor. loved it even more when in the losi cause it makes people made ya know. im afraid i will say to open it up cause thats when i see putty im sure or the lack of. out of sight outa mind

About to order one with an re11 for my 2.0b. Any suggestions?



inb4 get a rc8

I would get the 2035 pipe for it. i ran the dynamite 053 on it and it is no comparison to running it with the matching pipe. its much smoother all around.

dont worry about it being in an rc8. mines in a mugen lol.

Hey guys,

Just bought one of these motors. What carb restrictor would you reccommend that I start off by using? Also, I have both a TTR 2035 and a TTR 2039. Which would you reccommend that i use? I've heard the low end is awesome, but the top end leaves a little to be desired. It's going in an RC8T.

Thanks

7mm with the 2035 will be your best combo.

getting the truck geared correctly for the track makes a huge difference in truggy. The stock gearing is too low for most tracks. A 52/14 or a 54/15 will work great most tracks.

I run a re11. I like it. 11+ min.7mm odo 97t plug. Plenty fast, coming off at 190-200.
out on the test track.

Now thats good to hear, anything will be a nice improvement over my current 6min run time. Not gonna mention engine dont wanna start a debate :P

I ordered some p4's with my new engine, thats what the local reedy drivers run

97t tuned alot better then the p3. Never tried a p4 though.

Hey guys,

Now I know I read this some where in this thread - but which O'Donnell plugs can I use for the Reedy engine? T99 & t97?
Hich one will be better?

Thanks.

97T

well guys...3 to 4 gallons in and this thing is toast...the quality just isnt there...rear bearing gave out and ruined the rod..sad becuase the motor was running ok and still had great comp but between the junky bearings, ramp in the crank that gives and smokin temps to get any type of performace this motor just doesnt cut it...i am a firm believer that temps that high ruin motors and bearings and thats why these things give so much...a local sponsored Team A driver here ran them and had 4 diff motors give from bearings and rod failures after about 3 gallons on all of them...

Other engines do the same thing. I understand your frustration though.
