9 mins of run time wont cut for me

I have seen an average of more than 9 min. Out of the fms engines .

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

not sure if anyone answered this ...but if you run sidewinder worlds 30 then there is not much difference than byrons 30 ...the lsn will tune a tick leaner with the sidewinder ..i run it and love it ...should be no difference ...the worlds sidewinder is 11 percent oil :nod:

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

I run a p5xs hott mod with the 9886 with a long round header and it rips from bottom to top and temps around 180 to 190 and gets over 10 mins a tank.also a local pro helped me tune it at nitrofest/preworlds in 08 and I havnt touched the needles since and it runs perfect every time.
