iv been told that you shouldent put anything bigger than a .18 in a 1/10 scale, but im not sure how realiable the source is, or even who it was, someone on here though. oh man i love the 2 speed. when that engine winds up and shifts into secon it sounds awesome. for some reason on cold days like 20 f or lower the transmition dosent like to shift untill you have ran it for a few minuts. the engine revvs real high until it shifts but then it starts to shift fine. but when it is warmer out i have no problem.

lol that should put out alot more power. but remember too loo at how much hp the engine puts out. i saw a .15 that puts out 1.2 hp because it has aggresive porting. mine only has .85!

the only way to get any more power by tuning it leaning the high speed needle. but you dont want to go too lean. you are new to this right? how many tanks have you put through your engine? and did you break it in properly?

No am not
i know that we can lean high needle but not to much to smoke the engin.
I have head that you can modified some part in the engin .15cx to make it more powerfull. Somewhere on the web

ok maby you can get a airfilter that will allow more air to get in. i think they call them low profile but im not sure. another thing to try is to either take the disk in the muffler out or just drill bigger holes in it. and i would recomend using 20% nitro 16%oil. if your not already.
