[s25]

thanks guys youve been very helpfull

[s25]

started to hear bad things about these engines

my m8t had 2 os 30 n they both only lasted 2 gallons each

not good for £200 thts £100 a gallon

[Jeremy]

2 gallons WOW hardly broke in thats a bummer do U still have the mill ???

[s25]

na it a friend of mine

it put me right off lol

[Xjeepguy]

If not tuned right, any motor will go through bearings. OS motors are a very good brand.

[Jeremy]

yea I aggree with rebel hes doing something wrong

[s25]

no not at all

the guy at the hobby shop said he knew more than the person tht owned the shop

hes had alot of engines

hes got a sts 28 now and hes put 2 1/2 to 3 gallons through it and its still going strong

[s25]

by the way his piston went

[Mondragon]

Burned up 2 pistons in 2 gallons or less..... sry but he stinks at tuneing......all my motor's 5 gallons or more. have 1 with 7 to 8 gallons maybe more in it befor i retired it and it still ran.

[Xjeepguy]

I have seen guys that have been doing it for a long time that cant tune correctly. I saw a K-4.6 that the bearing retainer was melted out and the balls were laying in the crankcase, and he had been doing it a long time. A piston doesnt just go out, thats pilot error.

Not trying to be an ***, just telling it like it is. I worked at a LHS, and I saw it every day. Guys with 10+ years, burning up engines every day. And if you think a STS is better than an OS.....well, I wont go there lol.

[s25]

yh but if anything went wrong with the sts i can by 2 for the price of 1 os

[[hs] darkshine]

i remember when i was at scool, about 8-9 years ago, os had a brilliant rep for reliability, as far as i'm aware, that hasn't changed, so the sts would be false economy if it died ( i dunno what their reliability is like...)

[x410mw]

its not about the cost of an engine, its the reliability and power. OS is a well name manufacteur and they dont have problamatic engines.. (spelling errors :P) So whoever goes threw 2 pistons with 2 gallons with a REAL OS theres something wrong with the tuning of it, not the engine.

[[hs] darkshine]

i think i've said this before but i'll say it again. keith bontrager (mountainbike legend) has a phrase, it goes siummit like this, 'light, cheap, strong, pick two, it wont be the other one'

[s25]

all u guys live i n the us

i dont

the weather is total different in the uk and this may effect the engine life

[[hs] darkshine]

cambridge, England. os have a gr8 rep for reliability...

[Xjeepguy]

You tune for temp and humidity regardless of where you live.

[s25]

what about rb

im mainly thinkin force 28 or sts 30

[s25]

i heard he ran them on 25percent nitro and quite lean

but he likes spending money on engines

im thinking of os, rb and nova

thanks alot
