RE: OS AX 46 needs more power
I took my Viper out today and flew it with a master airscrew 9.5 x 6. I was getting right at 17000 rpm static using my 20/20 YS fuel. Airplane seems to be moving pretty good. I bought an old FX 46 off EBay. I will compare the two once I get it.

RE: OS AX 46 needs more power
It's just club racing. I have to use my stock muffler but I removed my baffle. I tried to post some pics but I'm using my iPhone and RCUniverse is requesting a URL and I'm not sure what to do.

RE: OS AX 46 needs more power
Airraptor it was the same guy that I was racing that told me I couldn't run my Jett. I have to run my stock muffler with the baffle removed.

RE: OS AX 46 needs more power
10-4 on the 15% and #8 plug. My buddy was running the Thunder Tiger 46 until it seized. It didn't want to idle before the race. All of you guys have helped me out greatly. My motor seems to be pretty smooth on the flip test. What happens when you add a extra head gasket to the motor. I almost have my new Viper together with the use of some of my old parts. I'm gonna save alot of weight just by using micro MG servos out of my combat planes. My old Viper had Futaba 3004 servos in it and a large battery pack. I'm gonna run a 6v 600mah pack vs my 6v 2500 pack.

RE: OS AX 46 needs more power
Not really sure about the rules. The Viper class at our club is a 46 class so called unlimited. The reason I say that is I originally had a Jett 46 on the Viper and was told after we had a practice race that I was too fast. I thought our planes were equal I was just turning on the pylon and my friend was flying long past the pylon. So now I had to put the OS AX on the plane but now I'm so much slower in the straight away. The only way I can stay ahead of the guy is to turn right on the pylon while he flies about 100 to 200 feet long. He then passes me about 3/4 the down the straight away. I just need a little more speed to give me a little more room around the pylon so I don't hit it again. I just found my new airframe on my door step from the UPS guy.

RE: OS AX 46 needs more power
I would post a picture but the last race I hit the pole and tore a big hole in the left wing and tore off my gear. I finished the race and actually won due to my friend blowing up. I have a new fuse and wing being delivered today. I'm going to build it lighter than my old one by using lighter servos and battery.

Yep I was running one of the APC race props. It was in the 8.8x 8 range I think.

OS AX 46 needs more power
How can I increase the power in my OS AX 46? We have club races with GP Vipers. We all use the same engine and airframe. The last race I had a guy flying about 15 mph faster then me in the straight away. I think he did something to his motor because it seized up in the last heat. What can I do to increase the power in my 46?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
I have the older dual carb style 90T. The intakes headers are differenent then the 90TS. This carb mounts on top inline with the cylinders. I found a carb for the 100T. The carb on the 100T looks like it might work? Any suggestions?
