plus 21-4c team is a killer engine !!! best buggy engine period IMO , i just cant ever take it out of my buggy , i guess i like it ;)


the new plus 4 is pretty much the same engine internally , minor exhaust change but the lowered the head by a HUGE amount , could be good or bad , we will find out here shortly after they get ran for a while . most of the changes on the plus 21-4btt are cosmetic except for the price :D:(

trust me when i say none of the new engines will make any of the so called "old" engines obsolete ;)

i answered all your questions about plug , nitro % and all that jazz in your original thread you started :blush:

once again , THATS AWESOME to hear Merdith !!!

i really like to hear the feedback :nod:


thanks bro

Hey Montey I have a Nova 821B if I send it to you could you take a look at it and see if you can do anything with it as far as getting it to run and keep a good steady idle. It needs a good carb on it so if you have one laying around maybe you could through one on there for me. Of course I will pay you for it and any work that you do to it. This mill is very strong I just can't get it to keep a steady idle. I'm not sure if it's the carb or the rod that's shot. Just let me know what you think. Thanks

I need to plan my vacations better...I am going to be in Phx in 2 weeks, would have been nice to be there for the race!

Scott

i would agree with that :nod:


i love the nitro pit , good people and good times :nod:


now if i could just get my rc driving mojo back i might do good :lol:

btw , there is a bus leaving from Nebraska around the Omaha area tomorrow i believe , Matt Wilcox , Jason Perrotto , Randy Romanik are flying but there are a couple boys driving with trailer in tow from NE

Monty you have a pm

Gotcha!

Thx a bunch

Is the bryon 3000 30%?

I thought I read somewhere the plus four max nitro was 25%? Is that not correct. And what's the difference between the bryon 3000 and pro race?

Thx

look at it this way , you know when you rent a trailer from u-haul and it says 45mph all over it ;):D get the picture now ;)


byrons race 3000 is 30% nitro 11% oil package , best for engine break ins , byrons pro driver is 30% nitro and 9% lube package , racing fuel!!

i dont recommend break ins with pro driver :D

I see. I'm mostly club racer and occasional big races. Shall I just do the 3000 for the life of the motor for longer life span.

that would be my recommendations


and DO NOT break the engine in blubbering rich , thats even worse then grossly over lean , well almost :lol:

heat engine to 190-210° , i prefer comp heat , start it after you have primed the system by opening carb and blowing into the exhaust pressure line until no more air bubbles go through line , dont be afraid to rev it up a lil , keep it running , you will have to lean the needles a little and turn the idle up a touch , use a quality temp probe such as exergen brand (important) tune as to maintain a constant temp between 190-210° , unplug comp heat and let idle for 5 min , engine will be a little erratic at first but will settle in after a bit , clear the engine out every minute or so .

repeat this process three times on the bench with head covered , make to sure to pull head cover off during cool downs , place piston in a free movement area (some refer to this as BDC)


after 3 x 5 min heat cycles do 3 x 10min heat cycles on the ground in the car at 190-210° , head uncovered (unless ambient temp is below 50°) and run around gently , dont baby it but do not rod on it , above all refrain from blipping the throttle as it is referred to .

after 3 x 10 min heat cycles do 3 x 30 min. hest cycles , the last one of these can even be done on the track but remember to keep a conservative tune , do not rod the engine all the way down the straights , check temps frequently .


from most novarossi engines i would not expect miracles within the first gallon of fuel but the engine will perform well enough to race with , at some point the engine will change tune and go really rich on ya and tune will keep changing for a period of 4-5 tanks of fuel , i call this "dropping the nuts"


when you take the time to take care of your novarossi based engine it will provide you with a long life of trouble free running !!!


remember to make sure your air filter is always up to snuff!!!!

there are a few companies that sell air filter media that i wouldnt use if they paid me , one great bargain and excellent material is answer rc , great filter media , when used in conjuction with the awesome kyosho air filter oil , your filters will stay dirt free and protect your valuable engine !!!

happy motorin ',

I am about 450 miles from omaha, i grew up in lincoln though.

I am really looking forward to getting out of the cold and snow for a while. Now, the big question is...Do i take my golf clubs or my RC8.... :)

Scott:spidey:

Ok, sounds good!

Any good prices on bryon 3000 case and bulk 97t glow plugs?
