That thing is a monster! I unfortunately did not have a 9x8 so I ran a 9.5x6 and it was awesome- with a 6 pitch! Plenty rich and it was haulin' the mail... (ordered 4- 9x8's )

I know there are a bunch of guys with Jett-50's in their Patriots and this is not breaking news, but for a small-town boy> (me) this was as good as RC has been since I started @ 13.

Smilin' from ear to ear.... Even when someone at the club was lecturing me about the flight boundarys

So far:

Rossi-45 too loud
YS-45 Piped too loud
Rossi-60 full pipe gonna be too loud
Jett-50? No-one said anything about the noise they only said " Uhhh, what kinda engine is that?" I said Jett-50, one guy even said "is that European or something?"

Nope

Dub rules, you DO get what you pay for, and yes! I am too low, going too fast, too far away, and all my shtuff is too loud!

Just curious, I want to know if it will out crank my Rossi.

I'm running the same prop....

Worked well, give it a try.

....but it wouldn't turn it.....a miserable 14,000. I went
to a 9 1/2-6 MAS, and it jumped to 18,100 on 5%. And
now it comes on the pipe....like 20K, and screams.
