I have the Speed Worlds II and was wondering where most people are at with their needle settings. I would like to see if I am close or just out of the ballpark. Thanks.

HSN 1 3/4 from bottomed out
LSN 2 3/4 from bottomed out

It will depend what fuel you are running

Default OS VZB V Spec II worlds

Hey guys, just found the OS VZB V Spec II worlds for a good price. thinking of getting it.

question is, will it work well in a truggy? what pipe should i use? and what sort of runtime should i expect?

Will be running with a 30% byron and either P3 or P4 plug.

p/s: i have a JP4, Aplus 0801, Losi RE11 (similar to 2050) and thinking of buying the OS2060.

The XZ-B speed does have more bottom end than the worlds II, but the world's II motor gets better run time. If i had a choice and it was for truggy, i'd get the xz-b speed.

There hasn't been a bearing problem with any OS for years.

My front bearing is leaking on my XZ-B Speed and I'm at 3.25 gals. Not that this is a horrible thing, I always replaced my OS bearings & rod around the 3 gal mark.
