Yes Jason Perrotto I have ordered a few of the 24066 and 24067 carburetors to try and see if I feel they are better or worse than current 24069 carburetor included with engines

thank you for your question

I had back to back bad bearings on Romas... Thought was fuel but ran same fuel from same gallon and 2 mores gallons on a beat and no problems ... Yea opinions n fuel is like lighting a match on said fuel... Lol

Herrsavage 12-09-2013 04:57 AM

That's pretty crappy odds for a Roma.. I'd never buy another NR again if that happened to me..

kgombe 12-09-2013 05:12 AM

fortunately for me .. i had great success with them.. so its gonna take allot more than that .. serves me right anyway.. should of just stuck with my 21's

I've seen trouble with all engines. I've sent many back to Hobbico...and this is for the store not my personal stuff.

From my findings, Odonnell Speed Blend has torched a good bit of engines. I believe the window is a little more narrow with it.

A combo I enjoy is Nova with Byrons. I don't know the last time I changed the glow plug. The Nova's just love Byrons fuel. Simply the best tuned engine you will get.

Unfortunately this board is a place where if you give an honest, negative opinion based on experience, you will be flamed beyond recognition, called obscenities, and this by people unable to use basic grammar and punctuation. Most of them write their entire post in one sentence, and a lot of them use caps lock excessively.

Sadly the fact is when you give an honest, negative review on a product, you are threatening some Forrest Gump character's livelihood, he'll be making tons of money selling his rubbish, useless product to unsuspecting people who will then be disappointed having parted with their hard-earned money to buy his inferior/faulty product. Hence he will be very, very upset that someone would have an opinion on it, as that will potentially limit his income.

I could name a couple.. but like you said, it ends badly.

been on the receiving end from a few guys when giving feedback.

I have seen bad engine wear from many brands of fuel..........I tried to warn people a few years back about these fuels, but I got attacked and had every patsy spilling accolades about their product that I was needlessly targeting.... Funny as hell tho to see those same guys now bashing on the very same product they so vehemently defended a few years back..... even other modders called me out over my fuel warnings, now they are seeing now what i was seeing back then and also telling guys the same things today I was already saying 2 years back...................I Will just say be very careful with fuel, sponsored drivers will almost say anything to promote their sponsor... Even when they know there were multiple bad batches of their fuel, they will lie thru their dam teeth on these forums protecting the false image some of these brands have.............. I truly wish there were some standardized tests available that we could get data on the protective capabilities of the different fuels as much of what is sold to offroaders is absolute rubbish...even big brand names are selling crap and relying on their name brand rather then the actual quality of the fuel......its very sad for the racers, as many times they are chasing tuning issues that are 100% related t the crappy fuel they are running....
