yeah they are ok , run 25% nitro with about 12% oil . Get the header and cut the lip out. The stock carbs are ok but a Rossi carb will really wake it up but by the time you get one you might as well get another engine..

Another good carb to use is a O.S. 20e carb. It really made it run a whole lot better and easier to tune.

I found the Hypers to be real screamers. They run really well on short to medium tracks. On the longer tracks you'll probably get left behind by the higher priced Italian jobs. The Hypers are perfectly fine for club racing. The carbs on them seem to be hit and miss. If you get one that doesn't give you any trouble, just run it. If you are having problems, then just pick up an O.S. carb, the 20E as mentioned above.

Another good carb is the carb on the Thunder Tiger PRO21B-R. It's cheap too.

with the eco and rossi you are already in a better place. the carbs on the Rossis are fantastic. The 8 ports are winders, their top end is normally very good, just the midrange and bottom dosent usually compare to the italian or jap motors.. ie P5 C5BB or V Spec
