Anyone running a OS 21 TM in the Revo?
If so, wondering what gear selection you have chosen. I just got 6 tanks on mine, got it geared at 17/36 with standard trans. Initial results at the track resulted in really high temps, even at factory settings. So I need to do more break in and make sure nothing else could be causing the high temps. Anyone think this it too much gear for this engine to pull? I run a 15/36 with my 18 TM and it runs great.

How'd you break it in buddy?
These OS engine will not run right until they are broken in. Over rich is just as bad as lean in a new OS engine.

Broke in like the manual said. And at factory settings it is rich. I'll play with it some more after I get another 5 tanks through it. I think it needs more break-in, even at 200 degrees it has tons of pinch.

Yeah I think it was a good call pulling it last weekend. Take some time get it broke in good with some playing around the house. Then we can get a real tune on it.

I use 17/36 with my 21TM (stock 15/38) and my temps are usually somewhere between 100-120 celcius. Which is not too bad at all considering how hot the climate is here. I'm considering switching back to tornado fuel again, in an efford to improve the temps, but like I said, not too bad at all.
