Good for you USP45 let us know how that works out for you. I have wanted that controler since before it came out but was skeered of the reported issues.Beat the crap out of it & report.

BTW I had the same issues with my dx3r but sent the recievers in for warr & no more issues,has happened on 2 different recievers & I know one was due to ant damage.

houston tuned plus 21-5 w/ 9 gallons or so on the p/s set and it was a rocketship :nod:k, lots of "what engine is that?" i am waiting for it to stop running so good so i can put my plus4 in there ;)

unregulated lipo definitely wears out servos faster :nod:

question

After running the motor for the day , I`v been told to remove the glow plug and add after run oil ...


Instead , could I just remove the air filter
and add the oil straight into the carb ?

butch man 05-10-2009 11:24 AM

As long as your sure no dirt drops in when removing filter neck,good luck on that though.Or remove fuel line & add from there.

what fuel are you gonna use george ?

i usually just run em out of fuel and its all good . i take my engines apart and clean them fairly regularly though ;) byrons gen2 30/11 or 30/9 is what you should be running :nod:

Houston, I just finished my first gallon on my nova n21bf limited. It was blue thunder 20% sport blend. I want to start using a 25-30 % with it now. I notice you recommend byrons. Would I have to add any shims to this engine to do so with either one, 25 or 30 ? Also, Ive been using dynamite platinum series plugs, cold. The temp here is about 90-95 and even a little hotter in the summer. Ive noticed alot of people run oddonnel plugs in their nova engines. Should I use a cold, medium, or hot plug with these temps outside ? oh yeah, we also have pretty high humidity here also.

roadracer43 05-10-2009 01:11 PM

also, when changing to a higher percentage fuel what will this do to my temps and tuning ? will it run richer or leaner ? sorry for all the questions. Its my first nitro car. Ive ran electric for about 2 years but finally stepped it up a notch. Nitro is the bomb !! will never go back !!

Monty, when you put in a smaller restricter should the slide throw be set to the restricters dia?

Nitro$junkie 05-10-2009 07:02 PM

hay Monty wats the diff between 08spec and 09spec +4 is it the top fin of the cooling head is now the same as the toro, comes with 25.8mm rear bearing instead of 25.4mm and turbo head button is there any other changes that im not aware of? like port or timing changes? Cheers Junkie

i dont feel that is an important part of your engine setup. doesn't really make a difference in anything that i have found , just dont max out your epa on the hi throttle and you should be just fine :nod:
