Cool, thanks.. I recently got a great deal on an Argus, but am thinking I might need something like an Alpha A872 or Werks B6 for my DM-1 onroader. I need something that will really rev.. The Argus I might put in my SC8 or a potential future buggy or truggy, or maybe the DM-1. Am currently running a Go GXR 5-port with 2063, and though I like it, it lacks a bit up top I think for my needs with this particular car.. Who knows, maybe the Argus with an extra tooth on the CB would give me what I'm after..

There is no comparison between the Argus and GX5, is used to run a gx5 so know it very well and yes it never had the top end performance, the Argus is far superior :nod:

i've ran a go 3 port a toro nero and this things pulls harder then both put together it is a real ball tearier it's so good...

Had another great engine weekend running my Argus. I have about 1.5 gallons in the engine now and the thing just works well. I had some chassis gremlins all weekend and it was nice to be able to rely on the Argus to do its job. Ran the engine in my St-RR truggy and it was good. Was able to put together a 9th place qualification at our local big event.

Ran the Argus with OS P3 plug and 2081 pipe. Really like that combo. Still want to see what a 801 pipe will do....:sneaky:

Thanks again to Argus for a great engine in a great price range!

What's the difference supposed to be between the 2081 and 801? I see the 0801 on ebay - is that the same as the 801?

The 2081 is an EFRA # 2081. The F0801 is a FEMCA pipe. They are similar in design (made by same company) but are two different pipes. The F0801 seems to perform a little better on the Argus Engine.

The EFRA 3033 pipe made by SH according to the dyno results is also an excellent pipe for the Argus Engines. These are also available thru any Argus dealer.

The team of Brian Shook, Rick Bender, and Matt Reinders take the win in the 3 hour Enduro Race at the RC Asylum in Florida. The team used a ZCar Z10xb buggy powered by an Argus Engine. After a grueling 3 hours, the ZCar/Argus team had a 42 lap advantage on the field. Way to go guys!

Yep I have to say the Argus is one of the fastest engine out right now. Even on the dyno it pulled some crazy numbers:nod:

On the track I have yet to see any engine, "pull" the Argus whether on bottom end or on the straights. Everyone who has tried one has been really impressed these engines. And they are lasting a long time without any troubles. I currently have 7 gallons on my truggy engine and all I have done is change the front bearing last week, other than that its all origional :nod:

There are a lot of good engines out there, Some last a long time, some dont, some tune easy some dont, some have bottom end some dont, some have top and some dont, some get good mileage some dont etc... BUt the Argus really does have everything And with a inexpensive price as well. They really did make 1 engine that has all the bases covered. Besides the Name you are not going to get any benefit from buying a more expensive engine.

They also have no "issues". after 7+ gallon mark and inpsecting quite a few of these there is no abnormal wear on any of the internals. Just the normal rod wear which comes with that much fuel use.

Plus its always fun when the guys with high $$ engines come over and ask " what is that you are running"



Thanks,

Like Jonathan had said the SH 3033 in testing in basically very close to the 2081 but with more power. So we are replacing the 2081 with the SH3033 since the feel is the same but it puts out more power from bottom to top.

The F0801 Puts out a smoother bottom end but has great mid and top end like the SH 3033 so its a great pipe for guys who want a smoother feeling enigne with a little less aggressive bottom end. Runtimes on both the 3033 and F0801 are the best overall for mileage on the Argus.


There are so many pipes out it takes a while to test them all. but these 2 are our top choice's. and the pipes we ar egoing to concentrate on.

So where can you buy the SH 3033 in the US?

We are getting a shipment in next week of the 3033 and F0801 pipes.

i get aked this one a lot and have them all walking away scratching there heads when they find out

Just read on another forum about a guy who was loving the 2035.. Do you really sacrifice so much power with that pipe?

:DI've talked to another that ran the 2035 and liked it. The 3033 and F0801 by no means are the only pipes for this engine. It is just after some dyno testing, these two looked really good. I personally have tried a 2060 and a 2075 and those performed well also.

On that note, yesterday I went by the local track and there was a racer there practicing with his buggy. He had an Argus (:D) and wanted me to drive his car. I drove it , but it felt stifled. I asked what pipe he had on it. He was running a 2071. I got him to let me put a 3033 on it to try. BIG difference!! Buggy had tons more bottom, mid, and top. Needless to say, he bought the 3033 pipe right then. So, just from first hand experience, I would say not to run a 2071. With the 3033 and F0801, we are just letting everyone know that these pipes have been tested and perform very well, but I know that there are others that will work also.

Any pipe will work on any engine. but it all comes down the the top performance, WHich unless you try all the pipes you will never know. You may be happy with 1 pipe and think it is great but unless you try other you will not know if you are getting the most out of the engine and the powercurve you want.

Which some pipes people may like. The argus is such a screamer it will work with a lot of pipes even not so great ones. But With all the testing there are pipes that are proven in testing to provide the best overall performance.

which are the F0801, 3033 and 2081
