Idk...I watched videos for a long time last night and I see no speed from octane or nitro in a MT format. Both looks like total turds. Perhaps I need to look to 1/5 scale (zenoah) for any real power like I'm used to with electric???????
Are you serious? You question what I'm doing to be "blowing up" all these motors and then in the next sentence admit to knowing nothing about nitro or gas? I realize I should just consider the source, but I take offense to your comment. I'm not a subject matter expert, but I assure you I have more than enough knowledge to run and maintain these little engines. Have you actually read the thread on the XXL-2? I guess the long list of us with multiple failed engines are just inept.
I was simply trying to offer some advice, so best of luck with your Zenoah powered Colossus.

Also, if your post was not intended that way, I apologize in advance.
