OS speed R2101
#17
I'm not too good with C deg, In F deg is close to 240deg, Ambient temp at 80deg. It stalled out a few times cuz its too lean. Richen your LSN a bit, get it to 220-230C be a lot better. What % of nitro you using? Crankcase really looks too dry, unless you wipe it off with a paper towel!

Hi guys,
I use Tornado 25% fuel.
What I said the highest temperature was 117 C when we readjust the engine only for one lap.We run the engine at 100 to 105 C which is 220 deg F.
I don't think the engine was to lean, had lots of blue smoke coming out and it died always in a very slow corner...
When I disassembled the engine and saw the piston/sleeve I thought damn I got dirt into the engine...
So I started cleaning the crankcase, piston, sleeve and bearings. The carburetor looks clean, had only airfilter oil on the intake. During the cleaning I found fine metal shavings and heard that the bearing has excessive play...
At that time I removed already all the lubricant.
I contacted OS - still waiting for their feedback.

Your rear bearing is corroded. That is not a manufactor defekt. It is clear in the picture of your crankcase. That will eat ceramic balls very fast.

If you are looking for answers why? It can be many factors, including being too rich. get new bearings, look on youtube how to change them (you must take of carby and all components and put in the oven and readh 150c and they can fall out or a small tap.
then warm up block and put back new "cold" bearings in.
Do not attempt to run the engine as it is.

Hope you sorted the issues out with your engine. This is the single best engine I have run with no problems.

Anybody using or have tried the HIPEX 2115 pipe with this engine yet. I know Collari uses it on his modified R2101 engines. Just would like some thoughts on how it compares to the OS Speed pipe.
I will be doing some back to back comparison next weekend at our first race meet of the year.

HIPEX PIPE results.
Hey there fellow OS users. One the weekend I tried the short manifold with the HIPEX pipe. Results are not totally conclusive but the first thing i did notice that the pipe did give a bit more top end or the OS OEM pipe set, run time was much the same. Power band delivery was a bit earlier with the hipex pipe.
This weekend we have another race meeting and I will try the medium manifold and report back the results. I will have better data after this weekend as I can give a comparison on all three pipe combinations.
Sorry if this is not a totally comprehensive post on the results. But so far if you are keen to try these HIPEX pipes and manifolds, I would no hesitation in suggesting anybody trying these. They are excellent value for money and are very well made.
Stay tuned for another post after this weekend.

HI
Collari use 2069 HYPEX with conical C-
which pipe you used exactly. explain with better details . For you the HYPEX is better 2115 is better
