if you think you want more power try a toro or fms :nod:

i ran a "houston tuned" bf limited today and it had way more power than i thought it would and was very impressed by a 155$ engine :nod:

actually just the opposite of a throttle hound. Kinda conservative. Just like to make the best of a cheaper situation. Its more fun with less when I give the big dollar engines a hard time. All I here at my track is vspec this and that. Even with my n21bf stock I can hang with them on our track. Its small, tight, and technical.

Grats on the team manager position Money man Monty! don't forget about us little guys :blush:

also, wanted to say in here I FINALLY had a day where nothing went wrong...no radio problems, no broken parts on the first jump, no forgetting fuel at home and saying "ffff it" and GOD did I have fun and BOY did those Nova mills scream!

Can't wait to get back on the dirt and tear some stuff up

Houston ,

I just bougth a Mach 427 new to replace my old truggy motor. Money was pretty tight so I had to keep cost down. But I got a good deal on this motor and havent spent what I budgeted for my replacement motor, so Im thinking about getting some mod's done to it. But i wanted your opion on if there is really much to gain with this motor ? Most of the time I hear people sending in there $300 + motors to get modded and not sure if its worth putting the extra into this budget motor.

Thanks!

T-Mizzle 06-21-2009 09:55 PM

as soon as i run it again and get it runnin good ill let you know...im sure it was just a tuning issue...like i mentioned before it was running around 220 and you mentioned they like to be ran around 250 so im sure it was the tune that was off:D

there is a few things to do to a mach 427 . i have actually messed with a few but i try to keep it to novarossi engines . those bf limiteds are well worth the 155$ bucks and will have excellent power :nod:

Hey TMIZZ,

Send that motor to South Texas, Cade will test it for you, LOL. He is ripping it up. How are you doing? Missed you in Victoria. We are running a +4 in the truggy and it is great. I have a P5xs in the buggy and it is good too. Looking at putting the +4 in the buggy and getting a truggy motor.

Mr. Monty seems to really like the FMS, so I will prolly go that route. What do you think Monty? +4 or FMS in the truggy.

PS He wants to come to Houston one weekend for a video shoot too!

Hey Monty, check your paypal! Glad I went ahead and took the chance on the n21 limited! This is by far the best engine for the price! Seems to be perfectly made for the tracks I run! Only thing is I will leave the break in to the profesional from now on! Lol how's my plus 4 coming? Am I still gonna be able to have it a week in advance of the 11th?
