i have 4 os50 hyper engine and one rl 53. all i can say is that the rl53 is a power horse.
but one bit of advise/suggestion for anyone using this big block -
initially i had a regular tt muffler on and it could not breathe. was diagnosed with pulmonary oedema
next i fitted a muscle pipe and it could not breathe again. was diagnosed with asthma
next came the hatori (i think the 522). could not breathe again. was diagnosed with pneumonia
since i had all these pipes lying around, i had the liberty to try them out. i tried changing fuels from fully synthetic to castor/synthetic mixes along with various ratios of nitro but had only bad news all along. was very difficult to tune. till one day hopelessly i was wandering on runryder.com that i came across a post of a flyer who had been thru the same pipes as me and he then got him self a redline muffler to match it. so i followed his experience and ordered mine. i couldnt believe the difference. seems to be as good or a shade better than my os hyper now. i have gone ahead and ordered another set of the motor and pipe for my other model >
have used complete synthetic and it screeches with a smile.
so go ahead with it but remember to use the motor/pipe combo else you will regret the potential of this motor.
you could purchase the pipe from rotorzone or rotor.co.in online.
enjoy
