I e-mailed one of their dealers and got quoted the prices in my last post...

bo1 was good all day finally broke in at the 2 gallon mark.... motor temps where 200-210 all day.. was consistant 10.30 to with a 7mm restrictor in buggy.. odonnell fuel.. 1.1 clutch ( which a 1.0 will be put in for next race) with aluminum 3 shoe clutch.. very smooth nice usable power band no complaints here on this motor...
to1 was good all day but still has a bit to go before it gets broke in.. have around 1.5 gallons on it and still has crazy pinch.. even without the plug in it will stop by the pinch... was geting 11 mins easy with a tad left in the tank in the truggy.. motor temps never seen over 200* all day.. crazy crazy power out of this mill... we had this 1 jump right off a corner and the buggys could just make it.. very few truggy where making it but i had no problems all day with it... qualified 4th in the "a' and we took off.. got to the lead by lap 3.. started to pull away from the pack and yup around lap 10-11 the worst thing possible happend.. a lapped car missed a jump and landed in the straightaway... well going full wood down the straight i hit him head on.. ripped the hole left side of the truck off.. left front arm, left rear arm, exhaust got removed and wing broke... and ya know the kicker... that truck drove away from the blast..... thank to tony and rody for thess great engines... got alot of questions on the motors.. this will be the must have engine in truggy this summer.. the best of the best in my eyes.. bottom of a .25-.28 and the rpm's of the .21's.. this motor is hands down better than the c6 he made years ago... thank you again.. jeremy

I was looking around the TecnoPower website the other day, and in the "about us" section I found a very cool link to Tecnomeccanica Srl. Kind of cool to see the actual factory these are made in, as well as some of the other cool things this factory produces.

How do the TP plugs compare to the GRP ones?
I like the GRP C5/C6 plugs but they are hard to get nowadays. Are they comparable to the TP H5/H6?
The GRP plugs were always a bit cold natured but i read the TP plugs are apperantly very hot...
Anybody compared them?
I assume they have the same taper/fit?

The "C" series of plugs are very cold and only typically used in onroad or high nitro applications. We only use the "H" series of plugs in our engines as well as the previous GRP's.
They have the same taper etc. I would recommend using either the H6 (most common) or H7 if you need a colder plug.
Our plugs are available at Amain or from us direct
