power band is smooth but peppy.lol

similar to the old os v-spec

Ok thanks for that i never really drove the old v-spec much but have heard it's a little aggressive bottom end....

What would be a good pipe to runn on it i have a 2035 and a hong nor 2080, or would i need to get another pipe???????

2035 would be a good one to run. it would be a good all around pipe for u

power band is smooth. responsive engine.

Thanks guys i might have to keep this motor in mind....

has anyone run it with an odonnell97 plug, i am going to try to get through the heat cycles at least with one. and then switch to p3 if necessary!

yes you can run it with od97t plugs. i would suggest you get a p3 plug. as they tune kind of hard with odonnell plugs unless you can get the hot plugs

run P3's with this engine and you will have no problems, Use breakin shim for about 1 to 1.5 gals and then take out and re tune.

Engine is fast even with break in shim in.

Enjoy

Can i use the os xzb con rod
In the arrow gtr?

I am afraid it doesn't fit. XZB is long stroke. Arrow is short stroke.

Yes, it'll work.

The stroke is determined by the crank. The rod is the identical length on VZ and XZ platforms.

Please disregard this message in it's entirety. I was mistaken.

You would hope if it's a manufacturing defect that Arrow would cover it no matter where you purchased your new engine from.

The Gen 2 carb isn't a work of art either. Rc willpower on ebay auctions O.S.xzb carbs and they consistently go for about $25. Thats probably cheaper than replacing the o-rings and you have a much smoother carb. Hobby pro sells the new case. I think the problem with the gen 1 case was the loose bearings but not all of them had the problem. Check and see if you've got a bad one.

Edit. Hobby pro also has the o-rings and for only $7.99. Case w/o bearings is $62.39 and with bearings is $89.99
