Hey Nick, I met you a few times at BVRC and PowerRC in Bryan. I've been flying helis almost a year now and this fall I bought Kevin M's TREX 600 LE with OS50 engine. I'd like a more powerful engine when the current one goes out. What is your preference, the YS56 or the OS55? Thanks!

Hey! Hope you are doing well. Miss flying at BVRC. That was a great feild.

I would recommend the OS55. Overall it runs very smooth and consistant, and produces great power. There is the new 55 HZ-R, depending on what fuel (low viscosity preferably such as Byrons Master's blend and CoolPower's 30%) the R carb version runs very very well. Using Wildcat and the Competition blend Byrons, the non regulated carb will run similar, off of muffler pressure.

@NickMaxwellRCPilot Thanks for the reply. My name is Mark by the way, I joined BVRC last January. I'm using RotorRage 30/20 fuel in my OS50 right now. That 55HZ-R looks to be $399, which is more than I really wanted to spend. I think in addition to the larger engine, I'll need a larger pipe. Currently I have the MP-5 (not the stock banger version). The 55HZ-H is $299, which sounds more palatable. Is the Thunder Tiger .56 ($230) as powerful as the OS 55? I'm just flying for fun, not competition.

i usually fill the inside of the engine up with WD40, drain it out, close it up, and crank it with the starter for a few seconds. it worked pretty well so far, my bearings last alot longer.
