Sirio .15?

[TomMoorehouse]

1/2 the reason i like .12 riggers is because of the inexpensive engines. but now the best .12's are priced like the .21's are! it's kinda ridiciolus!

anyways Sirio makes a 15.... it's real cheap at $169 and i would think (hope) it would have simmilar power to the high dollar .12's it is rated very high by RC Nitro http://www.rcnitro.com/rn/articles/dyno_sirio.asp

it comes with a threaded crank and a rotary carb! what more could a boater ask for!

anyone try it? what did you think?

see it at tower http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDRC0&P=7

thanks

I have one, not sure about it yet. Seems like lots of RPM no low end. I think if I had a heavier flywheel it would launch better.

[TomMoorehouse]

really... that's good to know!

what flywheel did you use?

how do you think it compares to a nova rossi?

i'm really thinking of getting one for my next project so any info is appreciated!

i really don't want to shell out $300 + for the hot 12 nova rossi

The inside of the motor is sweet, it seems to have all the mods. I am wondering if the mac pipe is too small. I got a CF pipe from down under but haven't tried it yet. I used a small aluminum flywheel. I don't know how it compares to the Nova Rossi.

I wont spend more than 150 for a .12 kinda screws up the whole idea.

so what gives MikeP? I mean looking at the test result from the website tom posted it looks like a sweet little engine with enough bottom end to pull.

or you think it is just your pipe and flywheel that loses that power?

THey put these engines in the Tmaxxs tooo.

The pullstart version, Same thing.

Now i have heard, they like the sirio PIPE, I dont know if you can adapted it.

But also heard runs good with a R5 plug and 30%. That was what i saw in a maxx.

they scream high end, and beleive they have the low end to launch it.

Sirio also makes a hot .12. We sell them for $169.99. Here is mine

 

[TomMoorehouse]

Glenn Q was not happy with his. i see they have a new one the evo2 5 port now. is that the one you have for 169?

 

[MikeP]

Hey, thanks for posting that chart, very informative. I think I could use some advise on getting this motor setup. How ever I don't think I have enough time on it to get it broke in.

Mike

 

[Bob Kensill]

Yes.my motor is the new version,and it is an eight port. Check out the ports!

 

[Eric Perez]

Anyone have a good idea of how high we are running these .12 engines as far as RPM's are concerned?

I found that my small block engines dont want to unwind with an X-Series style prop.

Would a high slip prop be better?

 

[TomMoorehouse]

If your sure it is the S12TUPAF aka the Sirio .12 - 5 port 'EVO 2' for $169 I'll take one!

Don't suppose you can set mine up like yours

Let me know, drop me an email with payment info [email protected]
