I can say with 100% certainty that a 2013 will definitely not fall short on the top end...

i would agree with that fershur

That's great to hear because I ended up ordering the 2013. It should be here Wed. Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks for the info!!!!

Does anyone here use Sidewinder Strike Team? If so was there anything you did special to get the fuel to work right?

My problem is that the original owner used Byron's. Well I cant get my hands on any right now. I have Strike Team on hand, and have only heard great things from it.

I had my friend look over it. Tried to run ST through it and it was inconsistent. He put some byrons through it with no issues.

I dont think there should be that much of an issue changing fuels, as they are both 30% with i believe 9% oil content.

Any help would be most appreciated

Far be it from me to criticize anyone's fuel, but I can tell you there is most certainly differences. The biggest difference is in the oil package. It doesn't get any better than Klotz, which is what Byron uses. Pudge seems to do OK with Sidewinder. He puts the stuff through Orion engines and won the Nationals with it, so ... I personally think our stuff runs better with Byron's, but it's IMO.

hello guys : )

can you tell me the difference between the cody king edition engine and the neo 11 edition? besides the 5 port 3 port difference?

and wich engine combo would be my best choice?
i run the buggy class.

gonna use it in my mp9 tk2

The Last time I talked with Jared Tebo, he said he would be running the NEO '11 in buggy. As far as I know he still is running a 3-port with 2058 pipe.. Also the local pro here is running 3-port in buggy and truggy. The CRF versions really rip with a 2013 pipe.

Essentially you won't go wrong with either 3-port and the 2058 or 2013 pipe.

The difference between the 2 is pretty much just 3 ports for Neo and 5 ports for CK edition..

Just ordered the Jared Tebo motor, I've read that the orion #5 plugs are my best bet.
Anything i should know about this motor? like tips or tricks?
And about how many gallons are you guys getting out of these?

Thanks

about 5 gallons seems to be the average.. Some go more some go less, it pretty much depends on the guy turning the screw driver.

No tips or tricks, break-in using heat cycle method, or very near it.. ABout 1/2 gallon in it shoul dbe just about ready for a race tune, just keep checking for pinch.. You might pick up a few #6 plugs if you race in temps abouve 75 degrees F..

yeah thanks
but the 5 port is 100 $ cheaper than the 3port

is it because the 3port is more popular?

think ill get the 3port with 2013 pipe and the 2058 pipe to try out? seems to be more popular...

can somebody explain the performance of the two engines?

5-ports are kind of bastard children. They work well, but don't do anythign spectacular.. 3 port nitro engines typically have excellent bottom end, and when timed and tuned right pull as hard and rev as high as a 5-port.. A 5 port typically won't have the bottom end of a 3 port, but will have a better mid and rev well.. The 2013 pipe will give a nice bottom end pop, but will fall just a bit short on top when compared to the 2058 pipe, how ever both pipes work very well on either the 3 port or the 5 port engine..

great thanks

anybody have any knowledge about the neo 11 version?

any links to shops that carry all of these? i know AMAINHOBBIES but other shops?

best thomas

Horizon Hobbies is the US distibutor, and they have all of them.. Prices are a bit higher then Hobby shops will charge however..

Just to share,

I got the JTP Orion engine as a gift by Jared Tebo himself,Is a 3 port limited edition engine that break in by Adrian at Orion.



And some of the things he gift out to lucky driver at Orion Maxima Cup Malaysia after he won the race.



Cheers

Just speaking hypothetically, but if I were able to get an Orion Discovery cheap, would it respond well to being modded?.. This would be basically for all-out power in a truggy, for only casual racing. Run-time, smooth power, etc.. are secondary..
