The Fox .36 R/C was one of Fox's best engines. You will like it.

Be sure to use a fuel with lots of oil and with some castor in it.

If the carb has a flat plate instead of a rotary drum, it will adjust backwards from other engines. Tell your helpers, if you have any, to open the high speed needle 1.5 turns and then adjust the low end adjustment until the engine runs well. Then you can adjust the high speed adjustment. Doing it the other way around, like standard engines, will make everyone swear up and down that Fox engines are junk and that the carbs are not good. I used to get more free engines from people simply because they assumed they knew it all and didn't bother with the instructions.

Have fun.

thanks for reply, i'm so happy that this is suppose to be a good engine, what fuel do u recommend with castor content in it??

I haven't bought that kind of fuel for a while, since most of my engines are ball bearing equipped and ABC types.

Fox sells fuel that would work well in that engine, of course, and there are probably others such as Sig, Red Max, Wildcat. What is important is to have at least 20% oil content (all castor would be fine) and at least 10% nitro methane.

If you order fuel from Red Max, you can tell them what you want and they will mix it for you. If you don't know for sure, tell them the engine it is for and they will steer you in the right direction.
