yea i do that method, i was just wondering what it was.

Does anyone have any experience with a Novarossi plus 28-3port pull start engine??Does it rev high,does it make good power,how's the drivability of it??
Any info on this would be great!

Yes the engine is great and easy to tune. We add .3 shim and run perfectly

Suntok,
Great to hear.Could you explain,in your own words,more about this engine??
What percentage of gas was used.Is the engine fast on staightaways??Does the engine drive smooth or very powerful..

I am looking into rally engines for my BMT 081 1/8.

Has anybody used this enigne 359 .21 rally by Novarossi?

Yes with Nova pipe set 9886.

Pls briefly explain how to calculate fuel % with shim thickness for 12-3SCT.
Why Novarossi factory ADVISE 16% fuel for .12 engine?


Fuel recommendation: This engine has been developed to be used with a fuel with a maximum of 16% nitro content and with an oil percentage not lower than 7%. We therefore suggest not to use it with different percentages compared to the ones specified here above.


Thanks in advance for the explaination...

There is no calculation.... only a rule to add about 0.1mm shim per 10% more nitro.

In Europe we run 16% Nitro in 2,11 engines, and that's why the European company Novarossi develops their engines for 16% nitro.

More nitro is only useful for people that can't adjust an engine

A lot of serious racers in the US are starting 16% as well, since it keeps the mileage up.

Beside that. Nitro is now listed as an ingredient to make bombs due a bomb strike in Spain where it was used. New laws makes it less easy for customers and factories to get it and could be could be a problem and/or expencive to make fuel with a high nitrocontent

Thanks for the explainations Hope others experience rc racers can give more opinions regarding the above matter. More explainations then easy to make a strong conclusion
