RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

Ok the main reason I have seen the larger ST motors blow plugs out of the head is they were run too hot without adequate cooling, and fuel with too high a nitro content. These babies do NOT need...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

I wouldnt be using so small a prop, I would try a 13 x 5 as a minimum for that engine if you insist on a low pitch prop. I actually think a 12 x 6 would be better still
