Best mileage thus far is 10:30 in buggy and 12:10 in truggy. Both with 2041's on Werks fuel. Tamiya buggy and truggy.

That's good run time there i'm hoping to get a better indication on runtime next weekend but still think i could be better if i can stop all the wheel spin i've been getting....

I currently run the JP-4 on my Argus. In my truggy I had to go up a tooth on the clutchbell to calm down the bottom end. This gave me more top end, but hardly sacrificed any bottom end.
I can also easily get 10mins runtime. Give it a run and see.

On 6/5/11 Jonathan Jenkins and Don Elliott took their Argus powered ZCar Z10xb buggies the the Amain in expert buggy at Nitro Valley Raceway. Don took the win and Jonathan got the 3rd place spot.
**Don Elliott's Argus Engine has now hit the 9 gallon mark with NO rebuild. Only the front bearing has been replaced!

In truggy at Revelation a stock one will go 10:30 Our mod so far has been pushing past 12 minutes.
BUt remember a lot of mileage is driving style throttle control, traction, tires etc..... The engine has to be able to pull it off but a lot of it is also driver.

Argus A52 had a great debut at our local club day. TQ and win in truggy, and win in buggy!!! The argus mowed down the competition on the straights
The comments from the other brand engine owners was they were amazed by how much top end speed we had
