Hello all.


I was wondering if there are ways to improve the VX .16 and SH .18 engine for on road use, as a learning experience. I know they're "crap" compared to the higher end one's but it'd be fun to make them a little faster, if possible. I run 20% nitro with a medium glow plug. I live in FL so it's hot and humid most of the year. I know the heat and humidity will be a factor. I'm still pretty new to this but am eager to learn.


With that being said...I've tried putting the SH .18 carb into the VX and it fits fine. It also appears to be 1mm wider, unless I'm blind. The VX seemed to be a little quicker on the low end for the three tanks I ran it with the SH carb. (edit) I also use an aluminum flywheel and clutch shoes.


I just figured I'd ask to see if there are other things I can do to make these faster or if I'm just wasting my time. They're great (for newbies such as myself) when you take care of them. It'd just be nice to see what I can do to push them to their limits. Why not?! Again, this is all for a learning experience and fun lol


Thanks for any input and tips.
