nitro content for GRP
 

hey i have a [link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_23_31/products_id/26092]Losi GRP .21 Off-Road Competition Buggy Engine (Standard Plug)[/link] and im not sure what nitro content i should use... i have 30% right know but im not sure what i should use for the new engine.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

30% should be fine, plenty of racers run their motors hard on it. if you're nervous about running 30% percent you could run sidewinder 25%, but it was built to be raced.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

cool, now i dont have to go and get new fuel:D
thanks

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

just make sure to get a race type fuel, the ready to run fuel is too oily and wont run right.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

i have byrons gen 2 30%

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

sounds like your set, you bought a great motor.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

cool, i got it really cheap to :)

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

oh? how much?

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

i got it for $219 when normally its 289. wait a minute. i had a coupon becuase i ordered other stuff too! so....im gonna guess the engine was...$194 including the $25 coupon.
i am a happy boy:D

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

cool, what you going to put it in?

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

my rc8.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

nice, only buggy i have is the lx-1, but im no where interested in racing. my main ride is the BB revo. almost bought the grp .21, but i got a 427, $100 cheaper at the time.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

cool, i had a crappy redcat tornado, but i wanted to race so i got the rc8

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

good choice, i haven't heard anything bad about them. i just dont own any associated, because for 1/8 scale im a losi fan. but from what i can tell, the rc8 is toe to toe with the 8ight.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

lol, thats what everyone at my local track said and theres only 8ights an rc8's when im there

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

The only time I really see any RC8s around my local track is when guys come in out of town. But there are guys who run 8ights all the time and they will swear their lives by them. For their handling, I say for good reaon too. Though the guys whp bring in their RC8s do run just as nicely as well.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

yeah, i tried someones 8ight and compared it to my rc8 and i just liked it better just becuase i was used to the rc8s steering.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

yea, they both are great buggies, i just like losi. so, have you gotten the motor yet?

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

nah, it should come tomorrow or tuesday. i still have to wait for a new clutch system to come and a clutch spring tool cuz clutch springs have always been a b*tch to me[:o]

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

what clutch are you going to use?

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

The just that standard rc8 clutch but it has an aluminum flywheel and bell. 1.0 springs....basic stuff. i didnt buy an aftermarket b/c i figured it was better to stick with basic for now

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

oh my god i got the engine and everything back on the car and guess what.... my flywheel wont turn. i guess you all know how to fix it. please help

nvm im just gonna make a thread

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

well, probably just super pinch and compression, it is a race motor after all. try heating it with a hair dryer and check it then.

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

thats what the guys said at amainhobbies to, so i guess thats the way to go, i'll tell you all if anything else goes wrong
thanks dude

RE: nitro content for GRP
 

have you removed the plug yet?
