I have had nothing but trouble with Evo engines. I had 3 of them, and all 3 have have been nothing but problems. Nothing but headaches. I`ve had more dead sticks with Evo`s than all my other engines combined.
3 rd times a charm for me , no more Evo`s in my fleet.
I have an EVOlution 46 NT. Have flown the past few gallons with 0 deadsticks - runs perfectly and always starts on the first bump with a chicken stick. Another club member also has great luck with his. Now, I'm running mine with the LS mixture very rich - so the throttle transitions are not as smooth as I'd like them to be. I want to lean it out by removing the silly limiter collar but I'm hesistant to do it and ruin the great running streak I'm enjoying so far. Another thing I'd want to try is to get a Tower Muffler. I hear you get an easy rpm boost from replacing the stock muffler which has a very restrictive baffle. Right now I'm getting 12500 rpm on a 12x4 using 15% nitro, which isn't too shabby.
