ORIGINAL: G35Coupe

From what I have found..the Hyper 21 isnt that lame. I thought it was gonna be a dog. But after this weekend at a new loamy track with long long long straights....I was VERY Impressed with my Hyper 8 Port. I was previously running it at about 200-220 degrees. For this track I leaned it out to 270...and OMG....I was hanging if not walking drivers with OS VZBs, Picco bp01, TOPs...I mean I was hanging with all of them...They would walk me out the hole sometimes..but I would catch them in the straights and sometimes pass them.
Not trying to bust a bubble or anything, but the Hyper will not last very long running it that hot. If you ran an RB C5 or S7 that hot it would be out of control fast rather than simply keeping up with engines running in the 200 to 230 degree range.

RCfreak ive been to the RB site many times and i did search everywhere, but they dont provide any specs on there engines such as hp and prm. I looked at the forums also through just about every thread and still cant find anyone saying what the exact hp or rpm is on either of the RB engines.
BTW i do search a lot more than you think, its how i found this site and most of the sites having to do with rc. I have been to the end of the internet and back.

I think the mod was talking about bore, stroke, etc.

It has been a long standing rule at RB that Rody won't dyno his engines until there is a standard among all engine manufacturers that they will all adhere to.
