Default Engine for my MTX-4

The JP's are modified and as some people ive heard say that JP's are ticking time bombs but haven't had one yet.

Hi Chris, Jez, Thanks !

Oops, i made a mistake, it's FX12-T03 and FX12-T05. In my country, we're not limited to 3 ports or no rules on outlaw items currently.

Hi Chris, is your Nova RR12L3 a modified or tuned version ? One of my LHS guys used a N12LL3 Tuned and it was ballasticly fast !

By the way, what do you mean by ticking time bombs ? Explosively fast like a bomb or has a short life span ? Thanks...

I haven't tried a JP yet... thought of getting one cause the MTX4 handles so well and can handle and throttle through crazy racing lines that i thought of putting a JP into this baby ! I'm using a NovaMax modified right now...

Happy Racing !
