OS .12 TR
 
I was looking at OS's very nice TR series, when I noticed they had a "Turbo" version with 1.3 HP. I know "turbo" has nothing to do with forced induction (I wish...:D) and is some kind of glow plug. What exactly do these $8 plugs do for you, and is "turbo" really worth it?

I noticed the no-turbo (naturally aspirated?:)) version has 1.1 or something like that. Good enough.

RE: OS .12 TR
 
I have too been looking at the OS .12 TR series engines for my XXX-NT. The thing with the turbo engines is that they produce more power, but they are illegal for racing! They use a larger glow plug. If I were you, I would just get one of the normal .12 TR's.

If anyone else reads this, and has a .12 TR, could you please tell me about your experiences with it? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
