RE: just got a new xtm 24.7 pro

Spot on, Polar Bus! I, too, have mentioned the same thing about the XTM 24.7 Pro and sometimes think people just refuse to believe a smaller engine can run sooooooo good! They're stuck on bigger is...

RE: two new engiens play at tdc

Every rc engine I have had has this play. It doesn't matter if it is my OS 50 from one of my helis or an engine out of one of my trucks. I could be wrong, but, what seems like excessive play is...

RE: temp guns

I agree, get a temp gun. They help in at least two ways. 1. They really help you dial an engine in. 2. They really help you keep your engine running in a safe temp range so you don't go too lean...

RE: Ofna throttle linkage mod

I did it because, as DaveG55 mentioned, the throttle would not return well...meaning, it would not return to idle, just stay a little above. It didn't do it all the time, but did it about 90% of the...

RE: Raptor 50 Scale Bodies

I think Century Helicopters make a 50 size Bell 222. Check their site, or more likely, helicopterworld.com. Some modifications will probably have to be done to the Raptor mechanics, but I don't...

RE: rotostart ?

I think it is a matter of individual preference. I know some that will only use a pull start. I will only use the rotostart. I even adapted it to a 24.7 pro when I put one in my savage. I have...

RE: My new XTM 24.7 Pro, The Good and the Bad

I like to use gasket sealer(Permatex Ultra Copper) on the rubber seal for the header. I used to get oil on the back of the engine, then started to do this and have never had a problem with oil...

RE: best way to line engine and spur up??

Something else to look for is the spur gear is not exactly round(just a result of the manufacturing process). There will probably be a high spot on the spur. Just rotate the spur at least one full...

RE: XTM 24.7 Glow Plug recommendations

I use OS #5 and #8. I think I put a #8 in it most recently(it what I had at the time). If I remember right, the OS #5 is hotter than the #8. I used to run #5 plugs in the winter and #8 in the...

RE: how to speed up throttle servo

barracudahockey is right. No radio will make your throttle servo faster. There are only two things you can do...1. buy a faster servo...2. screw with the linkage geometry. I screwed with it for a...

RE: xtm 24.7 engine any good?

It pulls wheelies with the stock gearing in a Savage RTR, easily. I've been wanting to go taller on the gearing for just that reason, just haven't got around to it yet. Once she's up to...

Well, I can say the 24.7 pro is good. In fact, it's my personal favorite.

RE: Fuel for a Raptor 30 v1

Well, I think the term "gas" is probably not accurate. What engine is in it? Try and look and see what name, and anything else, is cast into the engine case(like "OS" as an example). It is more...

RE: XTM 24.7 Pro vs HPI K4.6

I love my 24.7 pro in my Savage. I have no experience with the K4.6, so I won't comment on it. I will say that twon954 is right in saying the 24.7 pro is easy to tune and break-in. More...

RE: 25 rotostart

I could be wrong, but the 25 rotostart backplate does not work on the 4.6. I think I saw HPI is, or has, come out with a backplate for the 4.6 to allow the use of the rotostart. I remember reading...

RE: OS50SX-H throtle trans from idle to hover....

Great! I wasn't sure from your post what you were capable of. Just do what it takes to get her in the air and get to that HSN.

RE: OS50SX-H throtle trans from idle to hover....

It sounds to me like the LSN is too rich, especially since you said when you leave the glow igniter attached it will transition. It could be the engine isn not up to temp to keep the glow plug lit,...

RE: Problem with Realflight G2.

Yes, I had to download the updates just to get the program to even run. As far as how I hold the controller, I'm not bumping the sliders at all. I only started having this problem when I got my new...

Main shaft runout?

I can't remember what the runout is supposed to be on a mainshaft. I think it is less than .001 to .0015 in. Is that correct? Thanks!

Want to try some different blades this time.

Well, I lost(as in many pieces) a set of V-Blades along with a few parts of my Raptor 50 this weekend. I really liked my V-Blades, but, I want to try something else this time when I put the Rappy...

RE: Please post your XTM 24.7 setups... Mine is a dog off of the line

I'm running the 24.7 pro with stock gearing(15/49 I believe) in my savage. I added the Motosaver air cleaner and a Tsais M25 Performance Pipe. I'm changing over to 16/49 gearing(possibly 17/49)...

Frost speaks the truth, there's more going on in an exhaust system than one might think. Remember, an engine is nothing more than a air pump. How efficiently it pumps air is determined by many...
