RE: Maybe a stupid question - legal engines, measured in cc or cui?

When you look at most specs for engines, the .21's are usually listed as 3.49cc, so .21 is probably the more accurate measurement, unless the manufacturers are building the engines at 3.49 just to be...

RE: replacement carb for Picco?

I definitly blame Orion, I admit technically they didn't lie about anything, but then again what am I suppose to do, take apart the engine at the Hobby Shop before I pay for it? After all the hype...

RE: replacement carb for Picco?

Well I managed to find one picture on the internet that shows the internals of the CRF, and yes it's a Picco piston and sleeve, I have to say that I'm very dissappointed. At the beginning of this...

RE: replacement carb for Picco?

Supertib, I get what you're saying, I'll try to run it "rich" until it warms up and see if it "levels" out once up to temp. With the JP -4 it seemed to have plenty of power, especialy on the bottom...

RE: replacement carb for Picco?

I'm running the Orion CRF Rev, with a JP-4, GRP #6 Turbo, I have a cheap OFNA temp gun, but I never tune by temp, I prefer to listen to the engine, I did seal the carb in the area the picture shows. ...

RE: Do you think Losi will have a new 1/8 scale out for next season?

I think it depends on wether or not a Losi wins the worlds, if a Losi wins then I would imagine that they market the current 8ight for atleast another year and wait to bring out a new buggy. If they...

RE: replacement carb for Picco?

Thanks Supertib, but I really want to try a different carb to see if it solves my problem.

the tune is great until the fuel gets about half way down in the tank, then the engine develops a lean...

RE: 1/8 Buggy -THE BEST, HANDS DOWN, IS??

The story I heard was that the private test at the Farm resulted in some last minute changes to the design of the 808, mainly the A arms, Hudy himself was testing some different arms, liked them, and...

RE: 1/8 Buggy -THE BEST, HANDS DOWN, IS??

The 808 is an all new design from the XB8 - I never owned an XB8 but the 808 is definitly suited for American Style tracks, Jumps just as good if not better than the Losi, and handles just as well...

RE: 1/8 Buggy -THE BEST, HANDS DOWN, IS??

I think you're on the right track, I have owned the Losi 8ight for about two years and have absolutely no complaints. I wanted to try something different so I recently purchased an Xray XB808. Both...

RE: Basic clutch/tuning questions...

You're right NOT to tune by temp, it's best to tune by performance, I would also hesitate to tune by smoke, certainly you want smoke to be coming out throughout the powerband, but every fuel smokes...

RE: Basic clutch/tuning questions...
