What about running the reedy RT3 or RT4 plugs? Anyone have anything good or bad about them?

Yea i know a fair few people who run the RT3/4 plugs. Basically just the same as the OS versions. Haven't heard any complaints about them.

That's expensive, they're only $4.99 at my LHS.

My Reedy likes the 97T / 8mm restrictor / FT 2035 pipe combo, great power and 10-minute run time.

I think that you will like the looks but be more impressed by the performance. The plan is to begin shipping engines in October.

It should be noted that the new engine will no replace the 121VR. They will be sold along side one another.

I run the p3/p4 in my motors, Tower has them cheap if you buy them in bulk.

I ran a reedy with comparable mods that will be done to the new motor being released, I think you guys will be pleased, A whole lot smoother, and heaps more bottom end and great top end power.

I personally can't see it being too expensive. . . Look at the new OS engines. $350 for the speed. Whats the standard Reedy, $250???? From an educated guess i can't see it being over $400 More likely the $350 range to compete with the OS's and Novarossi's. I know this thing rips as a few team guys where using a 18T Clutch bell to tame it on a very slick track!!!

So I should run a hot or super hot no matter my weather conditions?

I am running an O.S. P7 plug (medium Plug)in my Reedy Engine and it seems to be fine. Idle is good, starting it good. I am still breaking this engine in with outside temps in the mid 60's to high 60's with a humidity of well they were calling for rain last sunday but it never came.

Plugs arent cheap in my part and are hard to get. LHS will not get any more turbo plugs or fuel,(he says he is broke). The P7 is the only plugs I have which is 3.
1 in each of my reedy engines (x2) and 1 in my box.

Lots of people are saying the OD97T is a great plug which is also a medium.
How does one know when to switch between a cold,medium,hot or super hot plug? What weather conditions, humidity level calls for a change?

Thank You,
