What the hlel: easy to keep the temp up during break in and after one liter of fuel you just need to run it a little rich on the top until she is ready for race tune :nod:

Sorry for the delay, Yes ours is the new style. That was an old picture a few years ago. Here is a photo from today.

So, is the gun you sell on your site is exactly like this picture:

I wanna get one. Just wish there was more info on it. Does it leak, is there a oring rebuild kit like the losi gun, or maybe a video would be great. Let me know? Thanks

Does anybody run or have run the Romas. Just looking for a little feed back

I have been running the "old" version for almost a year now. It has been flawless. It doesn't leak, but you do have to keep the nose of the gun pointing down when it's full. Otherwise, fuel will get into the pressure pipes (not sure what their technical name would be :lol:) and leak out the front of the gun when you point it back down.

It is super high quality and works like a charm. Oh, and I bought it from Clockworks because those guys rock!

I ran the Roma for a few months last season with 9901SS/021 combo in 811T. Very good engine with surprisingly smooth powerband. Fuel economy on par with other 'big block' engines. Impressive top end...pulls strong.

Yes. The picture in my link I posted is from our stock.

Of those choices I would run the 9901/41021 unless you have a Mugen then run the 9901/41029. The 9886 is comes on like an on/off switch & the 9853 is not as smooth on the bottom so it would have problems in loose conditions. The 41001 is not as smooth in its power delivery and develops more torque so I would not recommend it over the other two headers. If you don't mind buying another pipe the 2096/41021 or 2096/41029 combos would be the optimum setup for that engine in those conditions.

I like the 9886 41001 combo on everything I've tried it on. Especially on larger tracks.

41021/9901 combo would be your best bet. 41021 fits in the Mugen MBX7, the x6 required the 41029. I personally run the 41021/2096 combo. It provides a smooth, yet strong bottom and midrange and a much stronger top end then the 9901.

+1 beidle99's comment regarding the 9901/021 combo mainly because you said 'loose'. The Virtus should be plenty strong on top.

For sure 9901ss/41021

I'm still sticking with my 2096/41021 as the best setup because it will smooth that engine out so it's great for loose conditions, give you better fuel economy than the others and still have lot's of top-end for that long straight.
