Awesome weekend. Ended up 4th behind 3 pros

[waders20]

Nitro is the glory!! I ran a bunch of carpet in between asphalt, and dirt years ago. It was a large time, but I gotta have my outdoor dirt stuff!

Electric bores me lol

OS is where it's at for nitro engines, easy to tune and major parts support.

I agree. It’s taken a lonnnnng time for me to see the light as the Italian stuff was the go to for the longest time. OS has always been reliable, but they just couldn’t touch my Picco’s, Ninja’s, OPS, or Novarossi.. That changed up over the past 5-10yrs, and now after Novarossi closed the doors, Picco only offering (1) off-road, and (1) onroad, I decided to give OS a shot again. I am glad I did.

I’ve got some brushless 1/8 stuff as well, and it’s got its place, but nitro checks alllllllll the boxes for me.

I used to have Novarassi engines awhile ago they are no slouch! Sad they shut doors but OS is where it's at now days.

Oh yeah! For 3 races I did i always ran nitro. This race i finally had an ebuggy to run, they are fun but I like to use them as more track time and get used to the track.

Yessir-I absolutely agree. When I began with the 1/8 stuff two decades back, the price, performance, AND parts support of the Picco’s, and Novarossi stuff couldn’t be beat imo. Especially with a good engine guy. Today, the tables have absolutely turned. Even the current REDS Italian engines just lack a little something imo, and they are still surely quite proud of them.. I won’t have to worry about parts or service with my OS stuff ever, so I’m stoked to be running them now.

Yessir! They definitely are a great tool to get some laps in, and apply what ya pick up over to the nitro whip!

Reds are no slouch either but, they have a weird idle which i guess is normal but I can't tolerate it lol. OS is.proud of their engines as well but the performance can back it up!

Yeah-they definitely all take tuning adjustments differently for sure. I’ve still got (3) brand new modified Picco’s-2 5 ports, and a 10 port, and a bunch of rods/pistons/sleeves etc. for routine maintenance, but I’m done buying any further engines from them. I’m OS from here on out now. I grabbed my B2105 from the vendor for right at $400 to my door. Just gotta know where to look.

Dang! You're engine rich! Lol. I believe for the 2105 combo I got was around $500 to my door.

Holy SHATNER. I’ll have to talk you into shooting a brother a PM for an even better place to go then by the sound of it! The only place I heard of that could come close to that was RCJapan, and I just hadn’t used them yet at the time I purchased that motor. I just bought a handful of pipes and headers from them though-and they oughta arrive tomorrow, or Monday..
