9 mins of run time wont cut for me
9853SS/41005, 7mm , 3 kyosho blue shoes , 2-1.1 and 1-1.0mm springs 240 degrees and you will see what the engine can really do. The fms does not like carbon or plastic shoes . Use a light clutch shoe made of 6065 or the stuff that justin uses for his clutch shoes , I think its 2041 ? His com.pany is impulse rc |

I'm not a professional but Sidewinder makes a"premium fuel".I would not be concerned about running it in any engine..:nod:

I run Werks race blend 30%. I like it although I don't see many guys using it. I've had good success with it. I have ran sidewinder I liked it too. Not many people mention the Toro was it a disappointment? Or do you guys find that the other engines plus4 and P5 are just more suitable for your use or driving styles?

I just put a jp mod novarossi medial pro m2k in my buggy. It seems to have a low to mid bog. Does that mean it is lean on bottom. Top end is good. Temps are at about 220-235.

what kind of run time would i be looking at with the P5t and 086 short header combo? wanting to run it instead of plus 4. thanks

Just got back from breaking in my N21R 3 Port. Did the heatcycle meathod (about 30min). Ran it at around 200 with the head wrapped up for 2-3min at a time, then let it cool. Anyways, Once I opened it up, It was awesome. I tried different pipe/header combos, But i'm really happy with the 9886 and Ofna Bent ] Header. It seemed to make the most power and runtime for me. I am a smooth but aggressive driver, So any kind of runtime is fin for me. Ran 3 consecutive tanks, ran out of fuel st 9:50 every time. I also tried out a Novarossi Exhaust Cooler. I was amazed at what it did for the engine. It was getting an extra minute of runtime after I put it on. It also did not bog down at all after fuel stops, Cleared out perfectly every time. I ended the day with 2 more timed runs, Ran out of fuel at 10:45 both times. I'm happy to say the least! :D
