. I've talked to other JP users and some of them claimed they had the same issues
. I don't know what to do next which makes this quite frustrating. I have to resort to my 3 year old reliable MR12 TQ racing motor to complete races.

Same problem also happened to me. Piston was all black with carbon. Funny thing was temp was still good at about 210. It was good for 3 to 4 laps from start and then it would lose its power from thereon. Seems like it did not overheat but just did not have enough gas passing through.
Could someone assist

Anyone have the problem with blowing the seal out of the front bearing. My motor has right around a gallon through it and it has blown this seal. What is a better bearing to put in so this doesn't happen again?

They are sure to be better than what the engine companies are using.

Hi guys,
I haven't ran my .12 JP (forgot the model, black crankcase, purple heatsink, SX12 or something on the side) for about 3 years. However, I put after-run oil in it and made sure nothing got into the engine during this time.
Any tips before firing it up after 3 years of no activity?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I need to replace the piston/sleeve and rod in an FX 21 R03 engine and don't want to buy the JP parts as the engine is well worn. Can someone tell me what Novarossi p/s/r can be used as a substitute?
Thanks

Our Bi metal piston and sleeve set will fit.
