ST stock settings

[opio]

Well I pieced together a newish vegas, Gen 1 by that I mean first run with brass hardware and all lol, I have up-graded some of the hardware and motor/pipe. I just need stock setting for break in on the ST.18.

Thanks,

Jeremy!

jeremy,,,that needle setting will vary widely with weather and such,,,, i would start around 3 turns and move in if you have to... just run it slobbering rich,,,basicaly to the point that you need almost half throttle to keep her running..

Don't try running too big a prop. I've had best results with a Y-535 with reduced cup.

sure thing!

I agree. Y535 is the best prop. I tried others x435/3, x440/2, x438/3 blade and x435/2. The engine can spin the x435 and y535 well, with the most speed out of the y535. Highest gps'd speed I squeezed with 60% nitro was 44mph. I never tried shortening the pipe to get a little more rpm out of it but my bearing went bye bye before I can do that.

Good luck
