Engine:........Sirio .18
RC: ..............maxx
Fuel: ............Trinity Plat 30%
Pipe:.............Sirio big bore pipe
Glow Plug:....MC59
Run time: .....7-8 minutes
Reliability:.....Excellent (in my case)
My Reveiw.....This motor was a t-maxx drop in motor, dream come true when it came out over 2 years ago. I had great success with this motor. Tuning was a bit tricky until you got comfortable with how this motor tunes. It likes a leaner LSN than you would think. I've had (3) Sirio .18's in the past, bought one of them used from a guy. He said "this motor has NO low end". When I got the motor, he was right, it had no low end the way he had it tuned. I ended up leaning the LSN a total of 1 1/2 turns and it was a monster on the low end and ran at 250F. These motors also like it a bit warmer generally around 250-300F for excellent power. This motor screamed on the top end also. Wheelies on command. My Sirio I bought new and used throughout it's life lasted 8 gallons and still ran good when I sold it.I loved my Sirio!
