Status: offline 		I have a new Saito 180 engine with a tank of fuel thru it on the test stand. I am using a 16x10 prop on it with 20% oil 15% nitro wildcat fuel.

What RPM should I be getting? I can not seem to get more than about 8300rpm

Status: offline 		My Saito 180 has about 9 gallons of fuel ran thru it, I have a 18x8w it turns 9300 rpm's.... Just keep it under 10K rpm's and you will be fine
