Im getting a Jackal for my main Christmas gift.. I'll need to cover the engine,retracts etc.
Engine wise.. I have had no luck with the Evolution engines... my Alpha 40 TPS engine ran great for he first day and was nothing but a nightmare after that.. dead sticks, surging when running to full power, power lags, bubbles in the lines... basically the same problems everyone else seems to have.. needless to say I am dropping an OS 46 on the Alpha over Christmas...
So Jackal wise... what would be a good non Evolution motor to install... it seems they push it with the 60NX and the tuned muffler .. I was thinking an OS55 with a Jett Stream muffler, or even an OS61 with a Jett muffler, or getting a Jett 56 / muffler for it..
Anyone have any suggestions/comments?
Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

You will find alot of good info there. As for the Evo 60NX with the Jett pipe, it has tons of power. On the test stand with a 11x7 APC prop use for break-end, the top rpm was just around 13,700. After 5 tanks of fuel in the stand, I install a APC 10x7 prop and the rpm hit 18,100!!! I only had one good day to test fly her with the 11x7 prop and both flight was a beast!!! Can not wait for spring to come so I can see what she came do with the 10x8 prop other people are using!!
Merry Xmas
