So the same stuff you ran on the os18tm....thanks!
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - MaxxGS - 01-27-2006
Ryan did you re-shim the head for 30%?
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - Michowski - 01-27-2006
nope
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - MaxxGS - 01-27-2006
I agree with your reasons for going back to the 2.5 TRX. I would like to here how the OS carb works on the 2.5 TRX engine. I think alot of 2.5 problems are because of the carb they use.

well if your going sunday you can check mine out. Definatly a lot more reliable. Engine running pig rich with the needles almost backed out and it still just sat there idling on its own. I didnt keep it that rich but definatly shows me its got some reliability.

I'm thinking about going Sunday. I've been working so much I'm not up to speed with the Leisure Hours schedule. I guess I need to read and see what days are what.
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - Michowski - 01-27-2006
come on out man. Have a day of fun. Nothing like just getting it out and hanging out with the 3 stooges.
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - Michowski - 01-28-2006
also anybody going sunday with a revo is welcome to use my setup station with standard 14mm hexes. Just come on over and say hi
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - rocco79 - 01-28-2006
The stooges will be 2 strong on sunday. Curly is out. Family plans

i never did like him anyways....

LoL... I'm glad that ryan is happy with the motor and that I found out the downside of the TM before dropping the coin on one. I will be getting a radio and as soon as that is out of the way probably the XTM. For $60 it can't hurt to try. If it sucks it will play backup to my 2.5...
And I didn't re-shim the head for 30% either...
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - thenewguy821 - 01-28-2006
I haven't shimed any of the engines I have run 40% in, and have had no problems.
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - Ponch - 01-28-2006
What's a shim? lmao
j/k..But yeah I never reshimmed my head for 30%. What were you supposed to do, add one or take one off?
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - destroy_my_revo_15 - 01-28-2006
add i think....
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - Ponch - 01-28-2006
lol I still aint doing it but thanks for the info anyway...Besides, I run 25%!
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-28-2006
add....if needed
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - MaxxGS - 01-29-2006
On Sunday's how long is the typical race day if racing starts at 11:00am?
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-29-2006
On a light day (after the Trophy Race) we finished at 5:00pm.....SuperBowl right?
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - FreeRideFrosty - 01-29-2006
About 5 or 6. If there are a lot of people longer I would assume... LoL. When I was there there were about 80 people I think and we got out at a little after 5.
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-29-2006
ur supposed to add a shim for 30% as it will cause too much stress on ur motor if u dont, it will run like a raped ape for awhile but it wont last as long as a properly shimmed motor.
FYI most .21's are shimmed for 25% nitro .18 and lower are setup for 20%
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-29-2006
Those those who say' I just run 30%, no problem" are just slowly pulling the pin on a gernade? Maybe this is why so many guys say OS18's are crap and fail after 2 gallons?
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - FreeRideFrosty - 01-29-2006
Maybe that is why my 2.5 made it 1.75 gallons...??
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-29-2006
Dunno? That or the inverted 40,000rpm 1/2backflips?
What exactly broke on the 2.5? Were those pieces of the piston skirt?
Official Leisure Hours Raceways thread. - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-29-2006
possibly yes, Im not sure what the correct deck heights need to be for those motors to run 30%, but they usually come with the proper shim to make it right.
