RE: New ST 2300, impressed:)
Not24,
I have been considering this motor as a replacement for my MDS 1.48. Your numbers sound fairly close to what I was seeing. I was getting 9600 RPM on the 18x6 MA classic prop with 5 nitro.
Have you tried an onboard glow with this engine. I had some midrange hesitation with my big mds and the Maxx Super Glow made all of that go away.
