Status: offline 		this is the best engine ive ever had so reliable a plenty of power
so far ive had about 4 and a half liters of fuel Thur it (not sure how much that's in gallons)
and she still has heps of power, well plenty for the race track that is,
i haven't even had to play with the low speed needle a and ive change fuels on it about
5 times to find the best fuel and ive found that it loves that 20% red pro-glow stuff
starts first go as long as you have fuel in the engine,
doesn't mind if the glow plug igniter isn't charged (Ive only had to charge mine 2 times since brake in)
over all i would recommend this engine to any one, but plz if you get one follow the run in, take you time
and you'll never regret buying one

Status: offline 		I’m getting about 7 minutes a tank @ 220F. I've been considering leaning it out a bit more to get more run time and power, but it's been so darn reliable I don't want to change it...lol
As far as top speed, not sure since my track is limited and I have it geared for my track.
This engine has been so easy to tune and run. I have been using 30% O'Donnell's but I'm going to drop it back to 20%. I didn't see any power increase like you would with a Bigger engine. With 20% and 30% I use the OS A5 plug and it runs great! If anything else, I use the OS #8 plug too.

Status: offline 		Hi All.

Im also thinking of getting an OS 12 CV-RX for my rush evo. Im not jumping on the OS 18 bandwagon as i believe it is far too much power for the rush, as i have already broke a fair few tranny parts with the T-15 (which i think is a great engine)

Anyway my question is - Is there a lot of power difference between the T-15 and the OS 12 ? As tower has it for $129 i think its a good price and a worthy upgrade.

I dont race, just bash at an old no longer used RC track.

cheers
Jon.

the .18 is killer in my HPI MT racer.

Status: offline 		Would you guys say the .18 is similar to the .12 except that the .18 isn't for racing?
