maxy 30%, ths exhaust, mccoy 59

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

So the same stuff you ran on the os18tm....thanks!

[MaxxGS]

Ryan did you re-shim the head for 30%?

[Michowski]

nope

[MaxxGS]

I agree with your reasons for going back to the 2.5 TRX. I would like to here how the OS carb works on the 2.5 TRX engine. I think alot of 2.5 problems are because of the carb they use.

[Michowski]

well if your going sunday you can check mine out. Definatly a lot more reliable. Engine running pig rich with the needles almost backed out and it still just sat there idling on its own. I didnt keep it that rich but definatly shows me its got some reliability.

[MaxxGS]

I'm thinking about going Sunday. I've been working so much I'm not up to speed with the Leisure Hours schedule. I guess I need to read and see what days are what.

[Michowski]

come on out man. Have a day of fun. Nothing like just getting it out and hanging out with the 3 stooges.

[Michowski]

also anybody going sunday with a revo is welcome to use my setup station with standard 14mm hexes. Just come on over and say hi

[rocco79]

The stooges will be 2 strong on sunday. Curly is out. Family plans

[Michowski]

i never did like him anyways....

[FreeRideFrosty]

LoL... I'm glad that ryan is happy with the motor and that I found out the downside of the TM before dropping the coin on one. I will be getting a radio and as soon as that is out of the way probably the XTM. For $60 it can't hurt to try. If it sucks it will play backup to my 2.5...

And I didn't re-shim the head for 30% either...

[thenewguy821]

I haven't shimed any of the engines I have run 40% in, and have had no problems.

[Ponch]

What's a shim? lmao


j/k..But yeah I never reshimmed my head for 30%. What were you supposed to do, add one or take one off?

[destroy_my_revo_15]

add i think....

[Ponch]

lol I still aint doing it but thanks for the info anyway...Besides, I run 25%!

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

add....if needed

[MaxxGS]

On Sunday's how long is the typical race day if racing starts at 11:00am?

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

On a light day (after the Trophy Race) we finished at 5:00pm.....SuperBowl right?

[FreeRideFrosty]

About 5 or 6. If there are a lot of people longer I would assume... LoL. When I was there there were about 80 people I think and we got out at a little after 5.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

ur supposed to add a shim for 30% as it will cause too much stress on ur motor if u dont, it will run like a raped ape for awhile but it wont last as long as a properly shimmed motor.

FYI most .21's are shimmed for 25% nitro .18 and lower are setup for 20%

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Those those who say' I just run 30%, no problem" are just slowly pulling the pin on a gernade? Maybe this is why so many guys say OS18's are crap and fail after 2 gallons?

[FreeRideFrosty]

Maybe that is why my 2.5 made it 1.75 gallons...??

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Dunno? That or the inverted 40,000rpm 1/2backflips?

What exactly broke on the 2.5? Were those pieces of the piston skirt?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

possibly yes, Im not sure what the correct deck heights need to be for those motors to run 30%, but they usually come with the proper shim to make it right.
