Thanks Glenn -these are questions I never would have asked "back in the day"... with so much more information available to us today - hand held IR,data logging. Great forum ! so much information to soak up

I am trying to come up to speed on what operating temps I should be running on my older OPS,Picco and K&B motors this comming season, I hope this question is not to general. I have 1990's motors that I plan to dust off and run on 40% as I get back into the sport, I am located in District 1...

Hi Guy's - great info here ! Would the advice given on running the TT hotter by reducing the water supply also apply to the K+B's ? Mike

Hey Bob :I remember A.T.telling me about testing in a drainage pond near him and having the boat die,he waded out to about chest deep standing on a rock and was just about to reach it with his radio antenna....the rock moved ! :o Yes a lot has changed,no one is even running 1/8 scale or sport...

Thank You for your answer,Andy I just realized that my questions have been pretty vague and there are probably not too many folks reading this that ran boats back then. Back in the day I used to have my engines gone over by a gentleman from florida, A.T .Wright of A+B hobbies . I still have...

Hi Guy's : Sorry for the basic questions but I have been out of the sport for over 17years and trying to come back up to speed on what has changed. It is apparent that todays motors are producing much more power than what I ran in the mid 90's [OPS,Picco,Nova Rossi and K&B] Gas motors aside...
