anyways..

12TZ
3-needle 11M rotary carb
Standard 0.128
(2.1 cc) 0.543
(13.8 mm) 0.551
(14 mm) 7.9
(225 g) 1.5 @ 33,500


is it durable?

maintenance tips?

also.. i use.. sidewinder on my rtr..
It's very durable. Mine lasted for 7 months. THe reason why it only lasted for 7 months is because i didnt inspect and replace the conrod. It stil had a tight compression but i broke the piston because the conrod had a lot of play on the crankshaft. From what I think, if you inspect and replace the conrod when neccesary, it can last for more than a year.
