hi guys,
I'm thinking about getting my first "pure bred" motor lol. i've been playing around with Go's and Alpha's and they were great for learning the ropes of nitro . they suite my budget too!
I've been toying ith the idea of getting something new ever since the struggles with the alphas started. people said they were easy to tune etc etc, but in my noob opinion they aren't..welll at least my Go was easier. My f850 seems to be on a knife edge all the time and it's starting to irritate me. Also, people on the forum said there had to be something wrong with my f850 when i thought i felt it a bit lacking in the bottom..i never knew why..it just felt sluggish down low...not any better than my previous 7 port. then at least 5 guys at my local track said that was exactly why no one was running alphas there anymore...they weren't keeping a tune and they were found lacking in certain areas of the power band. i guess this can be down to our geo location, as we are at altitude (1600m) but i don't know.
I've never thought about getting something "proper" before as they were to expensive for me, and like i have said, i have been learning all this time and still am.
recently i found this on amain:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ine-Turbo-Plug
its the P5XLT 5 port if you don't wanna follow the link...and when logged into my amain account i can get one for $219...which seems reasonable and most important..well inside my budget. if i can get ons of those NOV/DEC codes, as well as my store credit, i can literally get one for $190 before shipping.
my question to you guys is:
I'm still learing, but this will be my third motor. Are these good motors? easy to tune etc?
and then, what header and pipe goes best with this engine. amain gives recommendations but like 3 different ones.
currently i have a GRP 2053 pipe, could i use this? or will it suck REAL BAD
Thanks for all the help!
