Your only 2 hours from Tea's hobby shop in Rochester, I am hoping they will be racing in April.

Just bought a new argus to run this year. Was wondering where I could find different size venturis? I have looked, but didn't see argus specific ones. Any help would be appreciated.

O.S. and Alpha will fit.

Hi guys,
I am thinking about getting this engine when my RBs start to die.
I am currently running a B9 and really love the bottom end it produces, and the fuel economy. Has anyone run a B9 and switched to an Argus? How do they compare?

Thanks
Scott

I ran my Argus yesterday. What a engine. In a truggy over 10 min run times with almost a 1/4 tank left. Had a terrible qualifer. Started 6th for the 10 min B. Got all tangeled up at the start and dropped to last. Moved my way back up to third with about 2 mins left in the heat. I had already decided I was going to go the whole 10 without a pit. The guy running 1st decided to pit at 8 mins. 2nd moved to first I moved to 2nd . Next lap 1st decided to pit and I moved to first with about a min and a half left. Held on for the win and bump to the 20 min A. 1 pit at 10min that was it, had some elec. problems and still finished 6th. This motor has the speed and tq. to keep up with anything on the track and has a run time that cant be beat.......

Thats what i like to hear. What shoe and spring set up are you using on the 8T.

Rcrenew 02-27-2011 10:08 AM

Trust me you will not be dissapointed:sneaky: The argus has a lot of bottom end so Everyone I know is running 1.0 springs in truggy and its is perfect.

Losi Aluminum shoes, green and gold springs. Other set up is max life shoes and green and gold springs. Works fine for me.....

Well, I'm liking my argus so much decided to pull the trigger and buy a full mod version from rcrenew. I will keep you posted on how it compares to a stock argus. I know its gonna be wicked! Almost at the 3 gallon mark and lovin it ! Even the sceptical guys at my track are now saying its very impressive as they got speeds and novas and got nothing on me!..lol.
