I'm pretty sure they still make the S7 if I'm not wrong, or maybe it was the WS3 I saw in RCCA. But I have the TM523 and its a monster. Crazy power out of the box and I want to get it modded too and thats gotta have a nice affect on the power !

why you running a on road motor!!! lol.

i'm running a pair of C6's that were modded by powerhousercperformance.com and they are friggin nuts on power and i can get just over 10 mins. of run time @ 200deg. on exactly 125cc of fuel!! i have a ton of fuel though these and they are still tight as a motor will a gallon on them

you can't go wrong with rb,nova or o.s. engines

I bought it on impulse. i looked up the specs on the rb site and it's really similar to the S7 the only diff i found between the S7 and S7C is the S7C

-the carb opens to 9mm(not that i use the 9mm to crazy),
-the fuel consumption is less,
-the torque is less(not by much),
-has more power(by one bar),
-takes a Turbo glow plug
-and smaller cooling head.
-and the weight is 318gr

S7

-the carb opens to 8mm
-the fuel consumption is more
-the torque is more(not by much)
-has less power(not by much)
-takes a normal glow plug
-bigger cooling head
-and wthe weight is 356gr

All i need to do is get a bigger cooling head if i am going to race this in the summer. right now it runs great since the weather is cooler. when i raced, the average needle setting i was running is, 4 1/2 out on the HS and 5 1/4 on the LS. it ran great had lots of power and loads of torque and i was running an average of 225 to 250 F. SPEEDMETAL saw this engine run and said it ran amazing when he was helping me tune. all i need is a bigger cooling head and i am good. BTW do you know if you get the WS7lll head can you get on with the turbo conversion i already know the head would work since the parts number match just different cooling heads. What does anybody recommend on the cooling heads? any good name brands i should look at? let me know.


Here's the site:

it's nuts on buggy to but i had to rich the crap out of it to run cooler and still runs amazing. if i get a bigger cooling head such as the ws7lll it would greatly reduce the problem and i could lean it out more to unlock it's true power. still when i raced had loads of power and torque compared to my GS R21PBX it makes look like a toy. btw what pipe did you run jordanak? i am running an ofna 086 pipe.

if your running that rich and still temping that hot in the winter......you will need a cooling head the size of a 2 story house to run that in summer in the offroad seen torqe is everything and also allows the motor to cooler and work less
