If the F0801 is better than the 2013 woooha :D im gonna get me one of those pipes.

Kevin, the 0801 pipe will blow you away! You think it screams now...fasten your seat beat and prepare for blast-off!! :nod::nod: This motor and pipe combo really rocks.

Lance I have 5 tanks in the engine and if weather is good tomorrow I will try to get a few more in it. I have only ran the buggy in parking lot and have found the bottom of my chassis and motor wet. If its wet again tomorrow or next time i get to run it Ill take closer look at motor. I couldnt find a leak in tank but ill look harder.

Do you have the 0801 pipe in stock?

Not bad.. 'Bout two weeks from Taiwan, and no Customs hassles... €52-ish shipped I think, won on auction..(Instead of €90 local, which wasn't even in stock..)

Testing time...

Well, just back from testing.. To all you guys who said the 0801 is supposed to be so good on the Argus......


YOU WERE RIGHT!! :D

Very happy.. Ripping bottom end, and a nice top end, with signs of more to come once it's broken in more..

Goodbye mediocre power, good buy 0801... http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...XSS/banger.gif

Nice grats on the pipe. The video looks nice Should be great once you lean it out more. I had mine on the first 5 tanks had temps in the 235s using the Orion 2013 pipe. I just ordered the 0801 from Lance. Keep us posted on how you do with that motor looking great.

Hey guys, how well does the losi nitrotane 30% works with the argus?

Thx

Rcrenew 10-02-2011 06:00 PM

It will work fine, but nitrotane is very hard on engines. I do not recommend that fuel. Just my personal opinion. Werks, byrons, Torco are great fuels. And keep the engines in Great shape on the inside. :)

I see. That's the only fuel for $28 around here. Everything else worth running is $36+ bucks. Unless I pay the harzard fees (what ever u call it).

We have been using Dynamite hp8 for over a year now and have had no problems and the engines look great inside.

I have been using the Sidewinder Team Strike 30% but I may start using S&W 30% next year if I can.

rcgeezer 10-04-2011 02:26 PM

Give some Cold Fusion Fuel a try. That's what I've been running in mine and it works great!
