Hi.
I have a Evolution 26gt2.
when i first bought it, the engine worked great, i am using a Motul 2T Racing Fully syntetic oil (1:33)
after a gallon of fuel through it, i tach it at 9000RPM on a 16X8 Master Airscrew (Great performance).
from some unknown reason, the Ignition module broke down and i had to replace it.
didnt changed anything... exept for the ignition module...
now the engine spins the same prop (16X8 MA) at ONLY 8200RPM.
i tried re-tune it, but this is as good as it gets...
the new module looks exactly as the first one.
i am running a 4cell 1000mAh NiCad battery, didnt changed it (the ignition module specificly says 4.8V).

two of my friends have the same engine, theire engines have 2 magnets on the prop backplate...
My engine have only one magnet.
could it be that the new ignition requiers both magnets in order to time the engine right?

this is a bit frustrating, the engine suppose to be a "Top of the line" engine, but it has a lot of problems...

is there anything i am missing?

I know that one of the leading threads now is related to these engines... personally, i really liked this engine when it worked good,
but it just isnt worth spending so much money for a 8200rpm engine (i could have buy one of the cheap chinese engines for more than half the price and same performance)

Thank you.
Raviv.
