The N21R carb isn't any better then the carb that comes with an Orion.. That said are you having an issue with tuninig? If so let us know and we'll help where we can..

Well my Tebo Edtion engine ran great all weekend, never had a issue and made some awesome power, I could hit the quad in the back stretch and clear without any problems. Had alot of people coming over to check the engine out and ask questions since there's no exposure to them in the area that has a very strong nitro following and some of the fastest guys on the Eastcoast. Next will be the Fall Brawl in 2 weekends, get to race with my buddy Ryan Lutz and Adam Drake was confirmed today, should be a great weekend. Here's a link to some of the Pro A-Main from Sunday. Thanks to PK and Scotty for the info, next question, which Orion is being ran in the Truggy??

I see people changing the carburetor on Orion engines, and it' a tragedy. The carburetor is very good. I think some people are doing this because of the composite plastic carburetor that used to be on the Sirio engines. The plastic version was hit and miss, but every single one of these new aluminum carbs is spot on. In fact, I would not run any other carburetor on this engine. Adrien and Team Orion spent a lot of time and money to change this carb. It's a very good carburetor, and now it's used on all the LM engines. We've never had a bad one. That's saying a lot when it comes to carbs. This carb is made for the engine, and it's a mistake to change it. :nod:

cool track :smile: the dirt looks awesome!

Ya it's my home track, I live about 10 mins from it, if the sun would of came out it would of grooved up. Our Carolina clay takes rubber well but can be very slick at times, a fast lap this weekend was a low 25 sec, a silly fast was a 24.5. I'll post a pic of the Badlands track in Myrtle Beach SC, it will black groove and it's like driving on pavement.

2057 is a top end pipe, virtually no bottom end, IMO. 2058 is the best of bothe worlds, great bottom with very little sacrifice in top end.. 2013 gives more bottom end, with slightly less top end then the 2058

Depending on what you like I suggest the 2058 for a good all around, or the 2013 if you like a bit more bottom end.. I however would not recommend the 2057 for anything but full on top speed/bashing, unless you have an engine that makes alot of bottom end to begin with..

I love the sound of my Discovery with the 2013. It gives a new meaning to the word BRRAAAPPPPPPP. I can hear it over the others and I love that.

does anyone know where i can get one of the neo11 engines or are they available yet?

pitpop 11-23-2011 07:15 AM

2013 is just a beast.. IMO it's the best pipe for any Team Orion engines. The reason we run the 2058 is because of the noise. 2013 is not allowed by FEMCA. Generally iFMAR will follow the host bloc rules. If Worlds was in USA, I think 2013 would be allowed.

BlueStreakOne 11-23-2011 06:43 PM

does that recommendation hold true for the .24 also?:tire:

I am using Odonnell speed blend fuel and I think I just need to lean it more. I just have to lean it more each run. I can fire it up after preheating it and it feels good on bottom and top but midrange it just bogs. I lean it out some and it is fine for that tank refill and its back to the midrange bog.

i asked that question a while ago and pitpop said it was just a regular crf 3port. i think they are only selling them in europe.

cheezy91 11-24-2011 09:59 PM
