I have been noticing my air filter has black soot on it from my R21 Nitrotec carb but not all the time just certain races/conditions. Anyway what would cause the black stuff and is it normal? I am 3gallons in running 97t at 230f Bryons 30/11%. Is it to rich or what? Different plug maybe? It runs good so maybe nothing but curious. Thanks!

Hi all Im after some advice on Glow plugs.
I have a NR P5xlt running 25% nitro 8% caster 2% synthetic.
I have been using OS.P7's as Im in the subtropics I find these plugs work ok but what would be a better option.
Most race days are 25c-32c.
Thanks in advance.

A total of 10% oil are a minimum with 25% nitro - if you run with a lot synthetic oil. I would say, you needs to change the %, so you run 8% synth and 2 % castor. Castor are great in our engines, but if you likes using all that castor, you should raise the % to e.g. 10% castor and 3% synth. What synth oil are you using?

Losi Racer,
I run the same two engines Bonito w/ NR 9853/41021 for Truggy & BTT w/ NR 9901/41021 for Buggy. I am breaking in the Bonito still and am going to start breaking in the BTT this weekend. Any suggestions?
What are you running/getting on each engine? I am in El Paso, so I was thinking the weather conditions are similar to AZ.
1) pipe/header
2) venturi size
3) fuel
4) glow plug
5) clutch setup
6) temps
7) run times
Thanks in advance.
Congrats on your Victories too.

The taper/threads on the OS plugs are different than other plugs- if you switch plugs you should probably get a new head button.
IMO go with the Nova CtgC6 plugs or the Werks #6 plugs.
So far Werks plugs have lasted a lot longer for me vs the OD 97T, Dynamite plugs, and OS plugs. Not sure on the Nova plugs, I've only ran one and it's doing pretty well so far. Most people seem to like them.
