what are you guys liking are far as clutch setups when using this on a buggy? Right now I am looking to go with a 4 shoe clutch, maybe M2C or Reds as my car (JQ Black Edition) uses 3 shoe by default and most local are 4 shoe so any issues on my own and still pretty new to nitro in and outs.

Also, had a situation with 2 flame outs in the amain cost me the possibly 2nd. Temps were about 250 - 260 so curious anything in particular i shoudl look for on this engine, maybe new glow plug needed? running 30% bones brew.

Wow. Got a new in box one for $100 this week. It came with a purple head. Exploded view is the exact same. Parts numbers are the exact same. Just a novarossi bag instead of a red, and a purple head. Interesting.

Hey everybody,
I have two of the ones with the golden head, both are still new. However, they're different. The head are slightly different. I didn't take them apart, but I can tell that one has a MES exhaust, the other just a standard one.
It will be some time until I drive those, but did anybody else encounter this? Which one is supposed to be the "standard" Paloma, the one with the MES or the other one?

Thanks,
Andreas

What is a "MES" exhaust?

I have 3 of the Paloma limited Edition but all three were the orange head and all the same but I'll have to check now.

MES = three exhaust openings, one main in the center and two on the sides.

MES

Standard

this is a long shot but does anybody have a piston for a paloma i can buy our even better a whole paloma engine?

Forget the Paloma, it is old, the main manufacturer is long gone, get something new.
