Probs with XTM 24.7 pro

[Jus2krazy2007]

I'm thinkin about gettin this motor just wondering how it works if anyone has experience with this motor tell me all the good and bad any troubles with break-in or anything

My experience is excellent. It was easy to start from the first pull. Breakin was done (and recommended by the instructions) by the heat cycling method. And it runs perfect now with temps never going above 230 with tons of power. I have only half a gallon of 20% so far but it's been the best engine I've ever had.

any problems with the idle or anything?

i have had a great time with it, it has been easy to tune and runs perfect. my max temp was 250 and it does wheelies easy. idles perfect, i can let mine sit and idle forever if i wanted too.

sweet would you say its got more or less power than a picco or wasp 26 i got some buddies and i wanna beat em

 

[ronvdp]

I've never raced one of those engines but was told that it is faster than the picco 26. I will say that it is as fast as I would ever need, I always feel like I have to ease off to keep from breaking something. Just my $.02

i have only seen 1 i picco .26 run, the xtm 24.7 had it out of the line but if there are long straights it might get beaten, just depends on how u run, i run the track, mostly but i do run long straights sometimes. my track doesn't really have long straights so how i have it geared works perfect.
