ORIGINAL: jaka

Hi!
...Only 6500rpm on a 22x8 ! My MVVS 45cc turns a 24x8 Mentz at 6600rpm.
I have both engines. On the same gas, close to same runtime, muffler, and the engines tuned proper, the MVVS is not within 500 rpms of DL50.

My buddies DL50 was turning a Menz 23x8 7400rpms, but it still didn't have the 'grunt' of my DL50 turning a MSC 23x8 6700rpms.

Menz makes a good prop, but IMO, they don't bite like some of the others (MSC, NX, Xoar laminated, and Vess).
