Wasp .28 in 777!!!

[NitroMarine]

Just got my Wasp.28 the other day and I got in my Trip 7 w/ no mods needed other than putting on the roto start.
So far the .28 seems to be well designed. The block is really small compared to the wasp.26, it's blue, and it comes with a sweet machined alum head, no need for upgrades there. It did surprise me w/ a 3 needle carb vice your typical 2.
It fired up on the first try and maintained a cool 160 during break in at idle.
Can't wait to get it fully broke in for this weekends racing. Look out Woody and Crymnal, I'll be ready!!!

Hey man how was Saturday?

 

[NitroMarine]

Crymynal, saturday was ok. Not that many people showed up and my Siro .27 took a crap on me so I didn't get much run time and the Savage was still down for a motor.

One more note about the wasp .28, it only comes with a turbo head.

I have to say, that it is a pretty sweet engine!! The engine block is very small! Looks kind of like a small piece of aluminum wrapped around a piston!! Can't wait to see how it runs!!

Nitromarine where did you get your Wasp .28 from? I looked into possibly getting one and everywhere I looked it wasn't in stock yet so I went with a Fantom .27 instead let me know how it performs for you, also what pipe are you using with it?

 

[NitroMarine]

I ordered two of them from Towerhobbies. They are out of stock now and I dont know of any other place that has them in stock.
I will let everyone know after this weekend how it performs. I had a Sirio.27 in my 777 before but I had alot of probs w/ the .27.
I am runinng a RB086 pipe and I really like it. It is a very loud pipe compared to most.

Hey, I just ordered my .28 off Tower. Do you mind giving me an update on how it's running?
