The best way to obtain the parts, is to call Team Orion directly.

Hello guys.
I read on a post back there, somewhere back there (so many pages ...)
I would like to question, so I can understand:
Is it no good to change the bearings on the CRF to ceramic ? If so, why ?
This engine can(or will, or should ... I am still studing all that is said about it too, thinking on getting one) run hotter than the midstream engines, right ? So a ceramic bearing would be better, no, they have a lesser dilatation(SP?) ratio, or I am off ?
Also, I am looking into someone selling one here with a good price tag(I am in Brazil, its not so easy to get RC stuff here. So, getting from him would be fast and cheapper than importing now ...), but I bet it's the older carb. version. He is holding this engine for some time now, he got two, and did not like/know how to handle it. Anyway, I diverge. Is it a big problem having to run it with the old carb version ? As I said, would be very hard for me to update it(see importing ramble above...).

On another question, the clutch. I run G4S. Using the red shoe, and the black spring, will I have what it takes to set the clutch ? Very tight track here, with mid to low bite, but very abrasive.


Well, hope I did not bore you guys, thankx for any info!

See yas...

Who is going to race with CRF engines at the Winternats ?

My buddy ran his CRF in a Mugen MTX4 and got it dialled in big time.
He stripped 2nd gear after 2 laps and still managed to keep the pace for the 15 min final won by over 8 seconds over 2nd placed Serpent running a Masmo.
This was with the old type carb ,trick was the clutch with a 1.8mm HPI clutch spring.He just kept adjusting the spring tension till it woke up.
So I guess a liitle bit of effort can bring good results.

I have a WASP CRF without the latest carb and have enquired in the UK for an upgrade. I was just told the new one is £51.99 = $100.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just plain ridiculous. I thought this was a free upgrade or if not free then a nominal fee.

If I cant get the new carb I'll be sending it back for a refund

Cheers

Main needle holder is free. New Carb and insert cost me $28 USD + shipping.

I got the needle holder for free and the carb body for Euro 23.50, looks like you are screwed by your lhs, you need to ask for the official up-date with the free needle holder.

rmd - Where did you get the updates? I have e-mailed a few people about getting the updates and pricing, but no one has gotten back to me.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Just wondering why you aren't using the shoe that comes with the clutch.
