The 2069 pipe seems to be very similar to the RB 3001 pipe.

Thanks,
The B01 and B01i are very similar(look but also performance), however with the new B02, B02T and B03 we are using our own dedicated crankcase and new crankshafts with different timing.

The TQ engines are from the same factory.
The TecnoPower engines are of Roddy's own design.

Thanks,

Yes, we use the same quality to manufacture these engines.

Big Thanks to Matt at Nitro North. Got my .23 T01 today and starting working some gas throught it tonight and she feels like a good one. I also have two B01s and they are nothing but awsome so far. Cant wait for full race tune on these. Also I'm in need of a Hipex 2034 pipe set with the speed header. Where is the best place to snag one if Nitro North cant get me one??
Thanks

Is there plans on making a stronger 2069 pipe? Both of mine are bent where they attach to the pipe hanger? As well as the cooling head needs to be a little More firm. Fantastic engine!

All I can say for me this engine is smooth and has plenty of power. I just recently ran the bo1's at motorama in intermediate buggy and truggy where I finished in the C main in both. I was disappointed with my performance however the engine performed fantastic. I never was passed on the straight and had no problems catching the nearest vehicle in front of me. The person who distributes the engines will no longer carry carry the product. And for the price it was reasonable. I very much would like to continue running the tp's however A main I'm sure will list them at a higher cost. I understand tencopower has to eat as well. I would ask just consider pricing them fair.



Furthermore I can't say enough about the motor

Since no-one tried the OS 2060 on these engines i thought i'll give it a try at yesterdays truggy race.

Well.............i think i found THE PIPE for this engine.
Runtimes...ranging from 10:30-11:30 on an open track with 3 long straights.
Temps MAX i measured 185F.
Could have lean it out more but it was scary when going down the straights...it sounded like an on-road engine!!!

BUT my engine seams to have no cold pinch...more like an OS engine...so maybe this is why it runs like this and don't know for how long it will.(maybe someone knows whether this is right for these engines and will last longer than OS!!

When fully run in an engine doesn't have pinch anymore...just compression

Some engines keep a bit of pinch for a long time when cold (but usually only when a preheater is used all the time). When hot there shouldn't be any metal pinch else the engine isn't fully run in yet.

If theres no compression any more its a sign the engine needs a resize or new p/s set soon.
