Thanks,

Does anyone have some feedback on the XL Strokes preformance. Started breaking in my M7T on Sunday with 16% and the thing is a bullet.

Stronger mid range perhaps?

Yes, you notice it mostly when shifting from 1st do 2nd gear...the engine is just pulling without any delay.

They are really fantastic!

Thanks for the feedback, I have some coming soon.

I am very happy with these engines, superb machines!!

reds m7t engine bearing
 

hye guys,

im from malaysia.

i have this engine, and the bearing is making hell of a sound.

any idea which other model bearing that suits for this model as im having difficulties in finding the reds engine bearing...

is the os speed spec engine bearing can be used?

Bearing size is front 7x19x6 and rear 14x25.4x6 ... so bearings for an OS Speed will fít, and so will Sonic, Picco Torque and Novarossi Kangaroo ... good luck; Best wishes; Jens

Novarossi Kangaroo won't fit as it is 25.8mm OD

M7 WC XL
 

Hi guys, any one having difficulties to remove the conrod form the crankpin? Thru the usual way, sleeve removed, conrod still unable to remove at TDC, any advise is appreciated. Thanks.

What is ose?

Hey guys i have a reds w7 wc. The engine mount holes doesn't align with the holes in the engine mounts. I can screw in the three screw but the 4th one doesn't screw in no matter what I do. I read in the rx8 thread that someone has thesame problem. Another guy replied that there's a procedure in doing the mod on this. Can someone point me where I can find the instruction. It's not in my manual.

On page 28 of the RX8 manual on the Xray web site it says about drilling the holes out on the engine.

Thanks. No need to drill holes for this. Just loosen the engine mount from the chassis line up the holes then re mesh.

Do you guys know if this engine can run more than 9min 30 sec.? we run 45 min. race here and would like to pit only 5 times instead of 6.

9:30 ????

Are you racing buggies?

In on road racing you can count yourself lucky if it makes 5:30 :lol:

Hahaha. I am new to onroad so my time is okey. I thought my engine sucks! I was thinking buggy times also.

5:30 ???
you are joking, right?
Just got a modified M7T from Mantisworx and Its a screamer with wild mid. and it runs 9.15 to 9.35 on a Team C GT8 with a 9 restrictor.

You've got me confused. The M7T is an on road engine, so I didn't assume you'd run it in a GT car.

I'm not familiar with GT, but in 8th scale onroad any engine that makes 5 minutes is great.

He has, hasn't he Stefan. :lol::lol:
We are using M7T in on road GT racing and getting between 9 to 10 minutes per 150mls tank.

If you used the same engine in a 1/8 pan car.....like you mentioned Stefan if we got 5 minutes we would be doing really well.

Hope this help clarify :D

Cheers Darren

Do you really know what run time you are getting out of that motor Daz??? :lol::lol::lol::lol: That was tooooo funny!:blush:

One More Lap
 

Yes mate.........just one more lap Jim hahahahahahahah:lol::lol::lol:

It was gold wasn't it :)

jazza, What restrictor are you using?

and what clutch setting? on the soft or hard side?

I use both restrictors but the engine seems to work nicer with the 8mm for my applications. I can make 10 minutes with either though.
This is GT racing I'm talking about with 150ml tanks.

Hard side man, extra hard springs. We actually race with foam tires on our GT's here in Australia.
They are 100mm ATS champ foams, very very nice, you get great wear & grip.

Cheers Daz

Jazza, Is it because you are using foam tires that is why you can reach 10 min.? or even with GT rubber tires like sweep?

Hey guys,

Some feedback from my M7T. Motor is running really strong after 2 club days and two full nationals (practice, sprints and enduros)

Only changed one plug on the engine since breakin and it was still the standard turbo plugs.

We have run similar time on the WC motor. WC is another beast all together, maybe should start a new thread for that motor, its in a league of its own.

Hi everybody,

We finally got our redesigned shop up and running :-)...

Still many products to come, we got a lot that's not yet inserted.

But at least the shop is running now.

Take a look: www.rc-netshop.dk

Sitting on about 16 -17 litres on the .21 WC XL Stroke. Thing is still pulling like when we first ran it.

Very surprised how durable these motors are, the WC Specials are arriving early next week, these are the factory run in motors, will send some pics if guys are keen to see.

Everyone is going to be a pre-run?
No extra charge? Or is that a stupid question?

Hi Joe,

We do sell them pre-run and it's from the factory. We charge 38EURO or app. 52USD for that service.

Thanks

It looks like the head for the Team version 2 R5T is larger diameter. If so, what is the diameter? Is it taller? Do you need a different lower head / combustion chamber to use it on another engine.

I'm using the 5R in a GT8 on road car and need to keep it cooler.

Thank in Advance

Pre run is an easier way to get your motor prepared from factory than running in on bench or track.

This is very helpful before a National when track time is limited.

Also having Mario run the engines in will make a difference in performance, to what degree we will see. But peace of mind on break in is always good.

Break in is around the $60 dollar mark.

Received two of them today .21 WCS.

Yes I know. You put in your post that they are the pre run version. I thought they were all pre broken in

Factory run in, it says.
