Default racing engine

What do I need for my Hyper 7 PBS for racing? What's a good engine? I already have a metal gear servo w/ good torque.

the 8-port is a great engine but to wake it up you may want a new pipe and carb, i recommend the O.S. 20 E carb and RB 086 Pipe, they make the 8-port extremly fast and very reliable!!! A good radio is the Airtronics MX-3, it is FM, LCD screen, 5 model memory, and 3 channel!!!

How much is the carb? I want to get a fioroni (sp?) turbo sliding clutch too. Is that pipe low end, hig end or all around?

the carb is about 60 new... the pipe is an all round power pipe, the rb 063 pipe is better for fuel economy...

[sm=confused.gif] How did I not mention a tuned pipe??? I had a 063 but my 086 really opened the motor up. I guess I got lucky with my stock carb... I have a xs3 synthesized 75 mhz radio and it has been great. Also change your shock and diff oil...

The new radio? Because it came with a cheap AM transmitter.
