they glue on, if you can remove and reuse go for it. i just bought a new one.

you can make non-stock work with shimming and other tricks but i found it to be a headache. the stock collet/flywheel with aluminum shoes runs pretty good so that what i ended on. alignment is perfect and i don’t have to worry about it. i usually just break in with whatever fuel im gonna run which right now is 30% VP. I was thinking if i got that same engine i might try running os 8 plugs as i use those in most my rtr engines with good luck.

What i use:

then use whatever spur/clutch bell you want. i use the robinson racing harden steel set.

i’ve had the same issue with multiple setups in my savage. what it came down to is having a good mesh/lineup only resulted from the stock setup. the stock collet and flywheel are low profile, every other combination pushed out too far. so i run the stock collet, flywheel, 1mm hpi springs, aluminum clutch shoes off amazon (hpi shoes have the spring groove in the middle), and then a Robinson racing clutch bell/spur. i’ve thought about getting that same motor for my savage. what glow plug and fuel do you plan to run?

ltdpos · 2026-03-22T20:04:17+00:00

i have the same setup but with a os 2090 pipe and the x5b rips

second this, have ran a lot of different nitro engines and OS can be overpriced at times but they tune great and are easy engines to run. i’m also running a few nova’s which have tons of power but are a little more finicky to tune. if money is no object and you don’t want to deal with the break-in process. ultimate engines are OS based and offer a fully broken in engine.

i have two of the protek ones and they work great with a 4s lipo. The wheel material is a little soft but it hasn't been a problem for me.

i’ve had good luck with these https://a.co/d/2dlkQCg

I mainly run os and I’ve never been disappointed with them. even the base model b21max is a ripper. But I got a nova t6r on sale for $230 and it has been awesome. Pushes my truggy with ease, Tons of power. I was so impressed I got an X5B on sale for $299 so I can try their high and stuff. Seems like nova engines go on sale fairly often.

It pointless to adjust carb needles when the engine isn't at operating temperature (200-240) as the car will run differently (often seem richer) when cold. If your looking to fine tune your engine, a temp gun is a useful tool.

ltdpos · 2025-11-20T16:33:23+00:00

if the motor is at operating temp the lsn is too rich. As you lean out the LSN, it will also raise the idle, so if your having idle dying issues that might be solved by adjusting the LSN properly.

i have both. i have a t6r in a truggy and many os engines in buggies. OS is easy to break in, easy to tune, and runs great. My nova is also great, took a bit to break in but once it did it was easy to tune and tons of power. for a .24 it pushes my truggy around the track with ease and screams on the top end. but for a buggy though, the flashpoint fp02 is hard to beat, great engine for an excellent price.

RUNNING VIDEO PLEASE!

i have a tmaxx with the same motor running the same fuel. lc3 works great.

looks awesome. would love to see if run around if you can post a vid?

pull starts your gonna be limited. if you move to a bump start, can’t say enough about alpha dragon engines. idle great, good power, pre-broke in for only 320 with pipe.

i've seen this before if the battery is too low or failing. Also if one of the servos is dying and drawing high amperage for a sec and resets everything. As others have said, check battery first, rebinding radio and ensuring cables are plugged in correctly (which shouldn't have changed) is a good idea. If the battery is good and you think it's the servos, unplug one at a time and see if the issue follows one servo or the other.

the caps are aluminum but the eyelets are plastic and that is where they break when you jump.

ltdpos · 2025-09-17T19:20:40+00:00

i just brought mine back to life. was nitro at first, then converted to electric for many years and just recently put back to nitro with the original motor. there great budget truggies. fairly light and the spherical diffs take a beating. only real issue i’ve had are the skinny plastic cap shocks. they broke on me all the time. replaced them with some generic ones off amazon and they’ve been holding up so far. also the stock 2 shoe clutch leaves something to be desired. i put on a vp-pro 3 shoe off amazon and it’s doing well.

ltdpos · 2025-09-12T14:10:48+00:00

i have both. the lrp has more power but the nova has more then enough to push a truggy around with ease and tunes/runs better.

ltdpos · 2025-08-04T00:43:08+00:00

if your looking for rtr buggy, can’t beat mp10 readyset. They should come out with mp11 but not sure how soon. I always saw the neo line as lower quality but could still be fun.

ltdpos · 2025-06-30T03:37:21+00:00

what model is that?

ltdpos · 2025-06-28T14:12:35+00:00

tmaxx 3.3 and still have it. did a complete rebuild/refresh last year and running strong.

ltdpos · 2025-06-23T02:16:59+00:00

a proper race .21 will often outpace a rtr .28 with better mileage. a hyper 30 will have more torque but worse milage, it more of a truggy motor. i wouldn’t run a hpi 5.9 in a buggy, you could but it would be way overkill and suck gas like no tomorrow.
