What do you guys think of this mill?
Is it easy to tune?
How would this engine preform in high altitude?
And What does this mean?
"Fuel Type: Advise 25% Nitro" Is it shimmed for the 25% from the factory or something else.
Thanks.
Addy whats up? That P5XLT is a great engine and is very easy to tune. I'm runing them in my Buggy and Truggy for 2011. I ran one in truggy all last season and it was awesome with the Dynamite 086. If you're using it in a buggy, just be easy with your trigger finger or the power can be hard to deal with.
Novas usually say they're shimmed for 25% max but I've alway ran 30% with no problems. I don't think the altitude in Colorado will be an issue at all. It wasn't for me when I ran Nova's out there back in 2005.
