Must be nice. In the US they have pushed release back unitl May now..

thats what ebays for. got my eu that way:nod:. fook ebay:batman:

I don't really need it right now. And, my local track has decided to run race on the weekends I have to work. I found this out today, so I may not be racing much more then the Mo State Series, and I don't need a $500 motor for 3 races (1st round is already done)..

very cool! :nod: I want one of those bags lol

I must say that is a pretty slick set up..

Good to see you posting again pitpop, thought you had left us...

just busy as crap :lol:

Let me just say that I was really happy with the engines this week. I know most of you saw Cody flame on the last lap, but that was my mistake. We were going 10:15 on fuel all week, and I got his last fuel stop early because I wanted to put the pressure on Mailfield knowing he had to stop again. Problem is I didn't account for the filter getting dirty, plus Cody used more throttle because battling with Ryan, and he barely made the line for the last lap too, which probably added 30 seconds to my estimate. That was my fault.

I was just talking to Cody about how flawless our engines have been for the last couple years. I mean we literally haven't had a single issue. Knock on wood, but it's pretty remarkable to go two years without missing a beat with the engines. :nod:

I feel ya.. The Last 2 days have been my only do nothing days in the last month and half, and I've been looking for something to do..

I know my Orion Discovery is awesome, and I plan to get another if I don't or can't get one of the WCE engines..

Hi, Pitpop or someone that could help me,
I just ordered one Team Orion combo CRF ALPHA.21 ABI 5P CERAMIC with pipe

[url]https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?src=cs&pn=ORN80680[/url]

I believe this combo comes with 2066 pipe, right?
I know the better ones are 2013 or 2058 so, is this pipe so bad????I noticed on picture that this pipe/manifold has a small tube/piece to make the pipe "longer", do I need to use it or better not?
What is the better glowplug to use with 25 or 30% nitro, if I do not have Orion glowplugs can I use OS P3/P4 like I read here?
Do I have to use the stock underhead shims that comes assembled on the engine?
Which carburator restrictor works better? How many carburator restrictors comes with the engine on the box? i.e 7,0mm, 6,0mm , 6,5mm...?
The track that I will use this engine is bumby and low traction, maybe same conditions for Silver State A main final that happened last weekend......

Sorry to ask a lot , due I did not receive the engine yet.
When I receive it I want be ready to use it properly.

Thanks a lot

According to the Picture it comes with a 2057, which will be great for Buggy. If it comes with the extension run it for more bottom end. How ever hobby stores some times use generic photos to cover many of similar. If it comes with a 2066 it isn't the best pipe for it, but it'll work, just not ideal. 7mm restrictor seems to be the norm, and I would bet it only comes with 1 restrictor which will most likely be the 7mm.

Otherwise that engine is going to be a screamer, and will fling a buggy around nicely..

see my responses below

I am still learning this nitro stuff....When would I run the #6 plug over the #5 plug in my CRF Alpha? Thanks.

Will a Nova Carb work on the Orion engines?

#6 plug in hot conditions and #5 in colder... the heat range on the plugs is like the timing adjustment on your car. The #5 advances the timing because it runs hotter with a thinner wire.

no clue :)
