The Z852 will have a slightly smoother bottom end and and more top end. It is a very powerful engine on the bottom and top.

Z852 is awesome in a truggy. Good bottom, top and run time.

The Z852 is a great engine for both Truggy and Buggy. Depends on what kind of power curve you like. The Z852 is more of a midrange and top end engine. It's no slouch on the bottom either....but it's strong range is mid to high RPM. It's still one of my favorite engines ;-) It's got enough bottom to get the job done well without adding a bunch of wheelspin.....but when you get that thing singing it's pretty fun! haha

Raced with the Z852 with 0801 pipe today engine has a lot of usable power and the top end just keeps going.

Stupid question that I cant find the answer for anywhere. Just got a lutz worlds engine and was wondering what plugs you guys are running? The threads are so long on the alpha and lutz plugs. I was looking at a os p3 but is about half the length of the alpha plugs.

thanks

Picco p5t plugs work the best for me.

Os plugs will work just fine, sometimes people have sealing problems if they ran Os and switch back to another brand. I would recommend a P4 as a P3 is too hot.

Anyone had luck with Novarossi or LRP plugs? I know the Picco P5TH is reccomended but these are easily available via my LHS. If the Picco ones are so much better, then I will search for them
