I have been running 2 x 359 with no problems (other than my tank leaks) Careful with the ceramic bearing because it will take at least 1 litre to break in with slow acceleration otherwise they could skip.
I suggest stay with Nova and I like #9886 with the conical header, 5 to 7 fin depends on your track.

Hi Chris,

Have you or any of your buddies tried the MAX XL9 TQ. I believe it has a smaller diameter crank (i.e. 14mm). Do you reckon this engine will produce more torque due to less rotation mass in the crankshaft. Apparently, the 359 Flash 21 has a larger diameter crank (14.5mm) and I think the purpose is to prolong the life of the rear bearing.
